The team's philosophy can be simplified to: WE/me.
Our goal every year is to build a TEAM out of individuals, 18 individual events, and 5 event groups. The sprinting, distance running, jumping, vaulting, and throwing Redhawks will go to work everyday to build each other to be the best versions of themselves. In challenging each other to be the best, the TEAM will flourish, because each individual will be flourishing. The individual can be good. The event group can be great. The TEAM will become the best.
This philosophy transcends track and field and permeates every facet of life. We hope all Redhawks that enter the RTF program, leave as the best version of themselves and are prepared to make their next and future communities better and stronger.
To do this we will follow the Mission and Values of the Redhawk Athletic Department:
The Naperville Central Athletic Department is committed to creating learning experiences for all student-athletes that foster resilience, respect for teammates and opponents, and cultivate personal growth. Members of the Redhawk athletic community will model integrity in all actions, and openly embrace, embody and celebrate a team and community-first spirit.
Our Redhawk Core Values: Resilience, Respect, Integrity, and Growth
