The newest club sport at LSC is the Lyndon State College track and field club, or the LSC TFC as its members like to call it.
After the long process to create a new club, the TFC is finally off the ground and gaining support everyday. “This is my senior year here and I have heard numerous people say that they wish they had a track and field club these past few years.” Jeremiah Powell, SGA representative said. Those student’s comments gave him encouragement to help form the club.
Powell brings a lot of experience to the new club. He has been on the LSC cross country team for four years now and has participated in every race from the 100 yard dash to the two mile run.
The club has been getting noticed by many students . “It's been a pleasure to see that as of now more than half of our roster consists of non cross country members.” Powell said. He feels it is important to let students know that track and field is not only about running long distance. “There are short distances for sprinters such as the 100 meter dash and there are field events for throwers such as the javelin.” With this variety of events, the club hopes to attract more members.
The club will soon be competing against other schools in the area. “Some of the schools we can compete against are University of Vermont, Middlebury, and University of Maine Farmington.” Powell said.
The track club is currently using a few fundraisers to for supplies, but another avenue they are might consider taking is searching for some potential sponsors they could use.
Anyone interested in joining the club can contact Jeremiah Powell. The club meets for practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week, but Powell calls this schedule tentative and it is subject to change. “The club is open to everyone with some athletic ability and I encourage everyone to join and try out this great experience. No prior track and field experience is needed.”
