USF Track and Field Core Values:
• Christian Faith—Coaches believe in growing in a relationship with Jesus Christ through team devotions, interactions with fellow teammates and coaches and modeling strong values.
• Relationships—Teammates are encouraged to develop strong team relationships where individuals are valued, respected and appreciated.
• Athletic Success—Athletic success starts with academic success. USF encourages athletes to work to their full potential in the classroom and on the field.
