McLean Youth Track and Field is an all-volunteer organization that provides opportunities for Northern Virginia kids ages 5 through middle school to develop skills and compete in track, field and cross country.  Our aim is to help our kids develop a love for running, sportsmanship and an appreciation for the sport. We focus on "house" events and encourage all of our athletes to strive for personal improvement.

We will hold regular practices at Cooper Middle School on Tuesdays from 5 p.m. to 6:30.  These practices will begin on Tuesday, September 14.  The final regular practice will be Tuesday, October 26.  These regular practices are for runners of all ages.

We are also planning a special practice that will be strictly limited to runners 11-years-old and up.  Coach Louie will run these special practices which will focus on conditioning, running mechanics and more advanced skill development.  Provided we obtain required field permits, these special practices will be held on Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:30 at Roberts Park in the City of Falls Church (near the intersection of West and Randolph Streets).  These practices will begin on Thursday, September 16.  The final special practice will be Thursday, November 4.

NOTE:  Only runners 11 years and older will be permitted to participate in the special Thursday practices.  No exceptions (sorry).  We ask that our 11-and-up runners choose either the Tuesday or Thursday practice and not both. 

If you have questions about whether the special practices are appropriate for your runner(s), please email Coach Louie at .

Langley High's Jessica Miles Battles for a Strong Finish in the 1600 at the Lake Braddock Hall of Fame Invitational

More great showings from McLean Youth Track alumni in the Virginia high school Spring 2010 track and field season.  Langley freshman Jessica Miles (pictured above) posted great times in the distance events this season.  Her Langley teammate Allison Brady had a strong season and is moving on to compete in the Steeplechase at the upcoming Junior Olympics competition.  A third Langley team member, Robert Yu, excelled in sprints and field events this season.  Also with strong showings in distance events this season were Emily Blagg (Bishop O'Connel) and Eva and Julia Estrada (George Mason).  The Estrada girls finished their season with top-10 performances in the one- and two-mile races at the VHSL "A" State Meet in Radford.
