Dedicated to supporting the continued growth and success of Carroll University Track & Field, we are excited to announce our annual fundraising campaign, THE BACKSTRETCH. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 to enhance the training experience and competitive opportunities for our student-athletes.

In a relay race, every leg is critical to victory. In the 4x100m, the second leg—known as "the backstretch"—is where momentum is built, ground is gained, and the race takes shape.

Our program thrives on a similar relay of support. Carroll provides the strong start, offering vital institutional backing—the first leg of our journey. Now, we're passing the baton to you—our alumni, parents, friends, and family—to run the all-important backstretch. Your support is the momentum that drives us forward, helping us gain ground and build the foundation for success.

From there, the baton moves to our dedicated coaches and volunteers, who tirelessly guide and inspire our athletes. Finally, it's in the hands of our incredible student-athletes, propelling them down the homestretch to showcase their passion, hard work, and full potential.
