LIPSCOMB ACADEMY TRACK & FIELD - BOYS 

Our goal is to train athletes to excel in Track and Field through consistency,  hard work, and effort while developing strong moral character and Christian values through the pursuit of athletic excellence.

The track program has had a long history of success in the TSSAA dating back to the ’70s. Previous years were spent in Division 1 AA, but in the 2017-18 academic year, the program made the move to Division II AA.
