"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden... In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to
your Father who is in heaven." — Matthew 5:14-17

Track and Field

Coral Springs Christian Academy is in its ninth year of track & field. We have had 46 boys district winners including: 20 field events, 12 running events, 9 relays, and 5 hurdling. The boys team won its first regional title in 2010 and has won district title in 2007, 2009 and 2010 and has been runner up twice. Six of those winners have gone on to win region titles, and we have two individual state titles both won by Noah Thompson in the Pole Vault. Our best state finish was tied for ninth, in 2009.
The girls team has had 35 district winners including: 16 field events, 10 hurdling events, 4 running events, and 5 relays. Our girls team won the district title in 2005 and 2007, and have been the runners up five other times. Sixteen of the girls individual district winners also went on to win the region in their events, and Catie Bowne, who won 15 of the district titles and 11 of the region titles, also went on to win the state titles in three different events 7 times. In 2010, Sharonda Jones placed 2nd in state for the shot put and 8th for the discus.  Our best girls team finish at region was third twice, and at state was tied for sixth in 2005. There have been 40 boys that have participated in previous state track meets, and 27 girls. Look for the Crusader boys to try to repeat at District and Region title in 2011.

Welcome to CSCA Track and Field

Track is a spring sport that starts in late January  with practices and the first meet is scheduled for mid February. The regular season concludes with the district meet the middle of April  with the regional and state meet being held at the end of April.

Brad Lindbergh is the head coach, in his third year and in his 5th year overall. He was the head coach at Stoneman Douglas HS. Previously he was an asst. coach at St. Thomas H.S. and was the middle school cross country coach at Coral Springs Christian School in the 1990s. Coach Lindbergh ran track and cross country in high school and college and has run hundreds of track and road race events over the past 30 years.

The head assistant coach is George LePorte who is also the head football coach and a former CSCA track athlete coaches our sprinters. Dave Carrier is our long time Pole Vault coach and we have coaches for the hurdles, throws and jumps. Coach Lindbergh coaches the distances and the high jump.

Our goal is to train up any athlete to their full potential and to use their God given talent to give glory to God by competing with excellence, integrity and enthusiasm. Our aim is to improve each day whether they are a beginner or a state level athlete.

Our boys track team has won the last three district titles and in 2010 the boys won the regional title for the first time, for any sport, in CSCA history. We have also had at least one individual qualify for state each year since 2006 and we have finished in the top 15 at state twice. Noah Thompson won the pole vault in 2008 and we have had a top four finisher each of the last six years in the pole vault.  Kent Lindbergh is now running track for Wheaton College(Illinois) and former runners Nick and Skylar Squillace and Noah Thompson all run track at the University of Northern Florida. Nehemiah Thompson is on the track team at Florida International.

The girls Cross Country team qualified for state in 2006 and has had school record holder Abbie Slupecki (21:20)qualified twice for state as an individual as she is still just a junior.  Former team member Catie Bowne won seven state titles as a Crusader, four in the 300 hurdles, two in the high jump and one in the 100 hurdles. She ran for the FAU women’s track team in recent years.

There will be an informational, sign up meeting for track in early December. See you then!
