Mira Costa Track and Field is a Spring sport and one of the largest sports on campus with over 200 co-ed athletes. The team is co-lead by head coach Moe Russell, the 2017 Daily Breeze Coach of the Year, and Robert Calderon, plus their team of excellent co-coaches.
Track is made up of many different events, spanning many different disciplines from hurdles, sprints, and distance, to throws, jumps, and pole vault. Due to the many different events, often athletes from different sports join the team for the Spring season.
