The philosophy of the track and field team is to allow as many students to participate on the squad as possible. The team usually has well over 100 athletes in 17 events with a coaching staff of 8. Each student athlete on the team is given the best possible instruction from a fine coaching and teaching staff. The coaching staff considers the track and field team to be an extension of the Bellarmine classroom and a functioning part of the "Profile of the Graduate at Graduation". The following are a few of the many things the student athlete should receive by being a member of the team: taking responsibility as a member of the team, commitment to the team and the values of the school, care and feelings for other members of the team, believes in and trusts the other members of the team, has a healthy attitude about the sport and his body, accepts judgment calls and is fair to all his teammates and opponents, and tries to become a leader on the team, in the classroom and inthe school community.
