Track Team

Hurdles, shot put, discus, high jump, triple jump, sprints, distance running; all events at a track meet.  The Montverde Academy track team usually fields close to 40 student athletes, with varying talents.  Some athletes concentrate on short distance, others on field events and still others like to run long distances. A few tackle field events along with their running events.

Challenging and varied workouts on and off the track during the season prepare the athletes for small home meets and larger invitationals.   Montverde hosts the annual Eagle Invitational in late March which fields 10 teams from central Florida.

Head Coach Sue Tortora has over 20 years of coaching experience and coaches the sprints and field events.  Coach Troy Urquhart is entering his 4th season with the team and trains the distance runners.  They are often seen running through the hills of Montverde as they prepare for the challenges of the longer races. Coach Lisa Pietras joins the coaching staff this season.  She will coach the shot and discus throwers.
