I had the pleasure of being the medical staff of a USATF NJ track and field meet at the Toms River bubble. I helped quite a few athletes today, some of which are world class. Where do world class athletes go after they did the olymipcs? They are often found doing events just like these in NJ and other states. I worked with athletes from as far away as Maryland and from the tri state area. Above is a photo as a 200 yard sprint began. Here is a long jump that was done at todays meet as well. Many runners often do not know why they have tightness or pain. My job is to help them feel better and to also give them guidance as to where they can go to get help and to help them perform better while at the event by working on them, taping their feet (many runners have body style issues) and occasionally I am called into emergency service like I was today for someone who got injured performing the high jump. This was a wonderful event to be a part of.



What a great resource!
I ran T&F from fifth grade up until my second year of college back in KY. I miss training and competing, and want to start back again. I’m unsure of where to even begin. I always hear of softball teams for corporations that compete, but wonder is there anything in Jersey that offers something similar? I’m not looking to go to the olympics, I’m 30, but just want to get back into doing for myself again in regards to competing in Tract & Field
