          I haven’t posted on EliteTrack in a few months, but with summer coming to an end, I am ready to begin training again..

          Anyway, I was wondering if you guys knew of any track clubs in the Philadelphia area who might be looking to pick up a long/triple jumper??

          If so, you can just reply in the forum or shoot me a message. Thanks!!

          I know a place where you could train…Widener University, but thats a little outside of philly. Not sure on what track club or coach you could work with. I thought Carl had said that he could possibly give you some help with training or something like that. Maybe I was wrong on that, anyways goodluck with the search.

          I am in MA and Coach at a University now but will gladly help. I also know that Matt Gardner may be available as he is an excellent coach and his athlete won gold at the division meet this year. Please PM him and talk about his distance coaching.

          ahhh thanks.. i heard back from the coach at Greater Philadelphia TC, and it will probably end up that I’ll be able to train with whomever I like while representing their club at various meets.. But I will PM Matt Gardner about some distance coaching..

          Do you guys know of any open track meets still being run in the month of August and September in the Philly area? There hast to be something going on as I know there are a few sprint clubs around here like United Stars TC.
