Mark Cruz – Director, Track & Field
Mark is beginning his 9th year with Storm Track Club as director and coach. He enjoys introducing kids to the fundamentals of Track & Field with a philosophy of strong work ethic, self discipline and goal setting. These skill sets are fun, competitive and social, while developing their self confidence and knowledge to the importance of a health and fitness program. His goal is that athletes apply this philosophy to all aspects of their everyday life, as well as develop a higher standard of achievement in other sports, academics and life.
