Congratulations to the 2023 MSTCA Coaches Hall of Fame Class:

The MSTCA is seeking an Assistant Director of Meet Operations to work with the Director of Meet Operations for Indoor Track & Field, Matt Carr.

Acton Boxborough is currently searching for an assistant coach for girls cross country. Bishop Feehan is looking for a winter track and spring track throws coach as well as a winter/spring track sprints coach.

I would like to apologize for the delayed release of our fall schedule. Besides our usual slate of events, the MSTCA tries each year to schedule meets at the sites which the MIAA selects for its championship meets inmid-November.

It was a fantastic year for Track and Field in Massachusetts. Here is a quick wrap up of the Multi Event winners and Coaches of the Year winners.

The campership list gas arrived. Awards will be sent directly to the summer camps who will thenreimburse the award winners. Congratulations to all the winners!

Another successful MSTCA weekend is in the books! Our two Freshman-Sophomore meets were a huge success, serving over 2400 athletes over two days at Middleborough and Weymouth.

There has been a shortage of officials at our meets throughout the current year and the MSTCA is asking for your help to increase the number of track & field officials in the state.

The entry deadline for both meets is *Tuesday 5/9 at 8:00 PM.* Reminder that there are *NO LATE ENTRIES *for any MSTCA meet this spring.

I wanted to take a moment to welcome you to the outdoor season. Please read this brief, but essential message carefully. If you missed the clinic, here is the OUTDOOR SEASON PRESENTATION I delivered:

The MSTCA’s New England Track & Field Clinic, sponsored by HOKA, will be held on the weekend of March 17th - 18th at the Boston Marriott Burlington. The deadline to register is Thursday, March 16th @ 9 PM.

One year ago today, i learned that the Massachusetts State Track Coaches Association (MSTCA) was without a President and the job was mine if I said yes to the call to step up! I did and can honestly say that this was a challenging, but rewarding year.

The MSTCA is pleased to announce this year's indoor track & field coaches of the year.

Coaches, the Rising Championships will be held on Tuesday (February 14) before the start of the MIAA Divisional Championships on February 15-19.

The Coaches Invitational on Saturday and Sunday was the MSTCA’s last full weekend of meets in the 2022-23 indoor season. A thanks to all who came out and competed and to the officials who helped fill the gaps with so many college meets happening at the same time.

The MSTCA will be broadcasting both Coaches Meets Live on MSTCA.TV. The meet will also be offered for a small fee after the completion of the meet. This wil be a way for the MSTCA to offset the streaming expenses.

The MSTCA is proud to announce its 2023 Athletes Hall of Fame Class. The athletes will be honored on January 29th at the Ron Wayne Athletes Hall of Fame Luncheon taking place at the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center.

The MSTCA’s New England Clinic, sponsored by HOKA, will be held on the weekend of March 17th - 18th at the Boston Marriott Burlington.

Thank you to all who were a part of the 5 MSTCA James Kalperis Relay Championships. Between the Northeast Invitational the previous weekend and this past weekend's Relays we held approximately 45 hours of track meets at the Reggie Lewis Center.

Thank you for registering for this weekend’s 3-day Northeast Invitational. Be prepared for an experience–we have 233 teams bringing 3525 athletes and 4784 entries. I’ve never run a meet this big and can’t wait to see what I screw up.

Here is the recap from yesterday's Learn By Doing Clinic. Can't thank our fabulous clinicians enough for sharing their expertise with the MSTCA Track athletes.

Spectators will see a new entry process at our meets in the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic

Again this year I would like to share some changes you should expect to see in the 2022-23 MSTCA Indoor Track & Field season. Some of them are relatively minor. At least one, the clerking procedures, is a SIGNIFICANT CHANGE from past practice. PLEASE READ.

The MSTCA Do it Clinic will be held on December 30th this year. This is slightly later than we have had in years past. This is a Free Clinic being offered by the MSTCA, which is different than the Reach for the Sky Learn by Doing Clinic.

The MIAA Cross Country State Championship will take place this Saturday, November 19th at Fort Devens.

Indoor Track is rapidly approaching and some coaches may want to get a jump start with the 2022-2023 Season. Here is a list of all the forms needed for the upcoming season.

The ranks have been updated, with quite a few changes within divisions.

Learn how to pole vault, high jump, long jump, throw the shot put, sprint or hurdle. Clinicians from multiple high schools are your instructors. High School coaches welcome to learn, observe, and support Open to High School Age Athletes!

Congratulations to our MSTCA Relay Team Champions! A special thanks to everyone for competing and coaching this weekend, and for all of the support of our biggest weekend of the season!

Team New Balance athletes Heather MacLean, Elle Purrier St. Pierre, Sydney McLaughlin and high school phenom Roisin Willis locked in overdrive for an assault on a record-breaking performance in the Distance Medley Relay.

Congratulations to the Coach of the Year Award Recipients. They were all acknowleged at the MSTCA Clinic this past weekend.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and offer some important information about the upcoming outdoor track and field season. Please read this brief, but essential message carefully:

President Rowbotham would like to address the membership with the following message:

After a two year hiatus the MSTCA is proud to announce the return of the New England Track & Field Clinic.

The past weekend the MSTCA inducted five individual athletes and a relay team into the MSTCA Athlete Hall of fame. Listed below are a few paragraphs on each athlete and their accomplishments. A great job by Bob L'Homme and Fred Doyle for putting it all togehter.

There might be a few adjustments to our MSTCA Schedule, but here is a quick look ahead to the Spring of 2022.

THE 2022 MSTCA INDOOR TRACK STATE COACHES MEET (LARGE & SMALL) SCHEDULED FOR THIS SUNDAY HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CANCELED.

The MSTCA is looking to merge the Coaches SMALL Invitational meet with the Coaches LARGE Invitational on Sunday with a start time of 12:00 NOON.

Distance Medley Relay April 15, 2022

The Boston Holiday Challenge will take center stage at Reggie Lewis Center on December 27. The meet will host teams from New York, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

We would like to thank the athletes and coaches who attended the 16th annual Do-It Clinic yesterday. We had an inspirational opening to the day with the Keynote Speaker, Rich Kennedy followed by some great instruction by all of our esteemed and legendary clinicians.

Just a reminder to all Indoor Coaches that the WinterFest entries will close at 11:59pm on Tuesday. No late entries are allowed.

HOKA cushion and support doesn’t need to come at the expense of a lightweight, snappy ride. We’ve long been known for its extraordinary weight-to-cushion ratio, but the Rincon 3 takes that to another level: not only does this shoe have unique HOKA cushion and ride characteristics, but it’s one of the lightest shoes we’ve ever made.

We are excited to once again host the MSTCA Learn By Doing Clinic tomorrow at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center. Here are some instructions that will hopefully make the clinic run smoothly.

The "Do It" Clinic is held annually in early December, offering participants helpful training tips and advice on a variety of Track & Field events, including the shot put, high jump, triple jump, hurdles, short sprints, long sprints, middle distance and distance events.

As we approach what we hope to be a full and relatively-normal season of indoor track and field, I wanted to introduce both myself and some of the changes to expect this season.

Save the dates for all the MSTCA Indoor action! The meet formats will be forthcoming.

What an incredible weekend of racing in Massachusetts! It has been two years since the MSTCA has held the McIntyre Twilight Meet and this year certainly did NOT disappoint!

It wouldn’t be Fall without an MSTCA Cross Country meet on a 60 degree October day. Despite the meets we offered last fall, I think we can all agree that there’s nothing like a fully operational XC season in Massachusetts.

The risk of running-related injuries may be associated with longer participation in the sport of running, and children may be uniquely vulnerable to injuries.

The MSTCA & BSR Teams are looking for volunteers to help archive all the Outdoor All State Meet Champions. We will then be able to filter all the data like the current Cross-Country list on the new MSTCA site.
