SHORE Track Club
What is the SHORE Track Club?
SHORE Track Club is the official Track & Field and Cross Country club of the West Ottawa Track & Field and Cross Country programs. SHORE gives athletes from the West Michigan area the opportunity to train and compete during the indoor track season as well as the outdoor track and XC post season competitions with other teammates. Athletes do not have to be affiliated with West Ottawa to join the SHORE Track Club.
