On behalf of Madison East Track and Field I would like to welcome you and give you a brief introduction as to who we are. Madison East Track and Field is a cooperative team of student-athletes, parents, educators, alumni, and coaches who have a strong commitment to academics, athletics, family, and community.  We represent Madison East High School and the Madison Metropolitan School District as we carry ourselves with confidence and pride on and off the track.

Our motto is “MAGIC”, an acronym that signifies the expectations of everyone who is a part of us…the expectation to Make A Greater Individual Commitment.  As track and field is an individual sport, we rely heavily on the individuals to do their best but more importantly to be accountable to their team.  Through commitment to the team each individual has a much greater chance to succeed.

Our team philosophy is to always focus on performance and not on the outcome.  We feel that when you get caught up in the end result you can lose track of how to get there.  If we do the right thing, the right way, for the right reason, all the time, success will be the only result.

We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our success and to those who will contribute in the future. Through the lessons that life and sport have taught us we learn that you can only be as great as those who stand behind you and those who stand beside you.

Yours in Track and Field,

 Chad Gunnelson
