Our story…
"Our mission is to provide recognition and support for the often overlooked athletes in Track and Field, ensuring they have the opportunities they deserve."
—Horace
The Track and Field Honors was founded by husband and wife duo, Rosalene and Markeith Horace. With children who excelled in Track and Field, they noticed the sport didn’t receive the same recognition as others. Wanting to highlight the achievements of track and field student-athletes and provide more scholarship opportunities, they created The Track and Field Honors to bring well-deserved attention to the sport.
Their mission continues to inspire, as The Track and Field Honors shines a spotlight on the next generation of athletes, empowering them to pursue their dreams both on and off the track.
