The Heat Running Club

The Heat is a competitive club for youth track & field and cross country club founded by CYO coach's in 1989.  The goal of the club was originally to provide CYO athletes with a medium in which to compete in post CYO season competiton. We focus on the personal best, not the level of competition advanced too.
