1. We Mean Business
We are a competitive track and field team.
We are here to improve ourselves in the pursuit of representing Los Altos High School in competition.
We are here to improve ourselves in the pursuit of representing Los Altos High School in competition.
What this means:
Talk to any varsity runner… team members come out here to work hard, to improve and to get faster. Make no mistake, track and field is hard work. There are much easier ways to get PE credit. If you have doubts about pushing yourself, you should not be out here. You improve by building fitness and skill. Its tough, and there is camaraderie and honor in that.
Athletes on the team have a serious and respectful attitude toward training and practice.
During practice or meets, when it’s time to get busy, we get busy with... no goofing around, no distracting behavior. If you treat the practice with respect, it will reward you in improved performance and improved focus

Athletes on the team have a serious and respectful attitude toward training and practice.
- Be a good person: respectful, positive, compassionate.
- Do show up on time ready to work hard.
- Do not miss a meet.
- Do not miss practice without a real excuse. Do not leave early. Do the cool downs and the stretching that prevents injury.
- Do encourage and support your teammates in practice and workouts.
- Do talk to your coaches about how you’re feeling, injuries, your workouts.
- Do set high standards for yourself and your teammates
- Come to practice on Saturdays.

2. We Have Fun
But we also will have a ton of fun!
Working hard together with people you like is fun. Competition is fulfilling. Socializing and hanging out is an important part of the team. Track and Field is one of a few co-ed sports which makes it very fun and easy to socialize. The team will have pasta feeds before each home meet.

3. We Are a Team
You might think that individuals are out there competing for their own marks, but track and field is a competitive team sport. The coaches and athletes take our dual meets seriously and try to win with honor.
LAHS Track and Field runners support each other: during practice, together in events and when the competing is done. We are a close-knit team and we respect each other.
