Outdoor Track & Field

"Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it's more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best."  - Olympic legend Michael Johnson

PPYRC's annual cycle culminates in the outdoor track season, beginning in April.  Most of our athletes aim to peak in June for the USATF New York Association Championships; others aim even higher, targeting the podium at nationals, competing with the best at Nike or New Balance Nationals in late June, or performing their best at the AAU or USATF Junior Olympics in late July. 

We compete at Icahn Stadium, we train at McCarren Park in Williamsburg, we crush it wherever we run/jump/throw.
