Track & FieldWhile supporting athletes in the pursuit of their goals—personal and team-oriented, short-term and long-term—the Kent Denver Track & Field program aims to create leaders in the community.
Kent Denver believes that team success at the high school level isn’t just about success in competition. It's also about character development and personal growth. Through our comprehensive program, we give young athletes the tools they need to live healthy, balanced lives through speed, agility and endurance work, strength and conditioning training, proper form technique, mindfulness practice and more.
The track & field program has a long history of impressive achievements at the state level—especially in recent years. In 2018, our runners won state in the the boys 100-meter and 200-meter sprints. In 2022, Kent Denver's 4x800m girls relay team took 4th in the state championship meet with a new school record time. That same year, Amanda Licht '22 also finished 4th in the discus throw and 2nd in the shot put. Most recently in 2024, Kent Denver track & field athletes earned a combined six top-10 finishes at the state championship meet.
Several Sun Devil track & field athletes have also gone on to find success at the collegiate level in sprints, middle distance and jumping events.
