Click below for a bounding workout particularly good for jumper/sprinter types but anyone would benefit.  Make sure you get a warm-up in first.  Any questions should be directed to coach Steffen.

The documents below are a history of Minnetonka Boys Track & Field Excellence. This is an ongoing project and updating is constant.

From time to time I receive requests from colleges for information regarding athletes in their Junior and Senior years.  When I get them I will post the letter and contact information here.  You can reach out for more information from them or your coach..

Dear Coach,

I'd like to introduce myself as the new Head Coach at UW-River Falls.  I've been coaching D1 and professional athletes for the last 20 years, including Olympic Games, multiple World Championships, European and National Championships.  I don't say this to boast, but to let you know that your kids will receive the highest caliber of coaching here at UW-River Falls.  If you're curious, I've attached a list with examples of athletes I've personally coached across all event areas so you can see the type of development that happens.  

I've received this great opportunity to return close to home and family and I'm looking to build UWRF into a National Championship program with your help.  Please send me contact information for your student-athletes that can help us achieve our goals and encourage them to give us a look.  I'm not just looking to have a taking relationship...let me know how I can serve you and your team.  

Not only will I help your student-athletes achieve their genetic potential athletically, I will challenge them academically, I will mentor and mature them, and I will help them acquire a successful career.  

Pasted below are the marks it takes to score at the NCAA Championship.  I'm not looking for athletes that can do this right now, but those diamonds in the rough, those that have the potential to meet and exceed these marks.  Will you help me out?  Will you put me on to your student-athletes that have passion and potential?  

Thank you!  

Andy-

Jake Malm here over at Saint Mary's University in Winona. Was wondering if I could connect with you on your current junior athletes? We're looking for our next crop of recruits (graduating class of 2022) and wanted to see if you felt any of your kids would be good for us to take a closer look at. Is there a best way to connect with you on this? I'm good with email text or call...whatever's easiest for you!

Thanks Coach!
