Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University track and field team, but becoming successful, positive role models in the community is just as significant.

COMMUNITY

SERVICE

Each year, the Mountaineers work to give back to Morgantown and surrounding communities. Members of the WVU track and field team are frequent visitors to the WVU Children’s Hospital and help several different local community service projects throughout the year. The team also regularly donates its time and knowledge by hosting and teaching local youth track clubs the fundamentals of the sport. Along with strengthening the youngsters’ skills, they also teach the participants the importance of good sportsmanship, courage, determination and hard work. Coach Cleary’s student-athletes can also be found at the Morgantown Ronald McDonald House, as well as assisting in Special Olympics events. Additionally, Mountaineer coaches and players take part in Relay for Life of Monongalia County, the American Cancer Society’s signature event, which offers everyone in the community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. It’s the commitment of bettering the community that makes being a Mountaineer even more special.
