Track & Field

Thank you for your interest in turning out and being a part of our healthy, hard working program here at Kenmore Middle School. Our team has produced many individual champions and team championships over the years. Former KMS Track & Field athletes enjoy success in high school and college, but even more important are those who enjoy their time on the team as they grow and learn. 

Our Goal for each of you is to gain experience as an athlete, be part of a special team, stay injury free, and have some fun. Physically you will get in shape. Athletically you will learn some skills. Track & Field can also help you grow in ways beyond the sport.
