UPCOMING EVENTS

Since the formation of the organization, PWC Panthers Track Club has grown and developed into one of Northern Virginia’s finest student-athlete running programs. Our student-athletes have established national track and field records during the outdoor season with individuals advancing to the USATF and AAU Junior Olympic Championship holding National titles and receiving several ribbons and medals throughout the track and field season. Several High School athletes have received track and field scholarships with the training and referrals from the PWC Panther coaches and staff.

One of the toughest challenges that face any small organization dedicated to Youth is providing safe and quality services on a very limited budget. As with most small organizations, we have no permanent or established source of funding. We are financed primarily from registration fees and fundraisers. While we strive to keep our registration fees affordable and our fundraisers have historically been effective, obtaining donations and sponsor contributions are crucial factors in successfully fulfilling our initiative. As a result, it is imperative that we solicit financial support from those in the community who share our desire to help the area youth.

The AAU was founded in 1888 to establish standards and uniformity in amateur sports. During its early years, the AAU served as a leader in international sport representing the U.S. in the international sports federations. The AAU worked closely with the Olympic movement to prepare athletes for the Olympic Games. After the Amateur Sports Act of 1978, the AAU has focused its efforts into providing sports programs for all participants of all ages beginning at the grass roots level. The philosophy of "Sports for All, Forever," is shared by nearly 700,000 participants and over 150,000 volunteers.

Based in Indianapolis, USA Track & Field (USATF) is the National Governing Body for track and field, long-distance running, and race walking in the United States.
