HISTORY

The Waltham Track Club was started in the summer of 1976 and became an officially registered club in April of 1977. Initially an all female program, a youth program for boys and girls was added in 1978 and a men's and master's program a year later. By the mid 1980's, the club had become one of the most diversified programs in New England, with more than 300 members between the ages of 8-60 and encompassing all aspects of the sport from track and field to race-walking to road racing to marathon racing. During its first twenty-five years, the club has won numerous N.E. Outdoor Track and Field titles, has twice finished second in the N.E. Grand Prix Race Series and led the way in the master's movement by initiating an annual master's track and field competition. At the youth level, our cross-country program has won two national titles, numerous N.E. and Regional Jr. Olympic titles and produced one individual national champion. In track and field, we have consistently qualified members for Regional and National Championships and have tremendous success in the development of high school athletes from around the state.

The Club has gone through a major restructuring the past ten years, eliminating its men's open and master's team. Currently, the Club is focused on developing its Women's Sr. Team and its Youth Program.
