On the Track
Green Tech High School's track and field program in Albany, NY, gives young men the chance to develop speed, endurance, and strength under the guidance of experienced coaches. Each spring, our Eagles train and compete in sprints, distance, hurdles, and field events as part of a supportive brotherhood that values discipline, persistence, and personal growth.
Athletes at Green Tech balance demanding academics with a committed athletic schedule. Our varsity and junior varsity rosters welcome runners and field-event competitors of all experience levels, from first-time sprinters to athletes aiming to set new personal records and compete at the highest levels of high school track and field in the Capital Region.
Beyond medals and meet times, the track program builds the habits that matter after graduation: showing up prepared, supporting teammates, and pushing through challenges. That focus is part of why Green Tech High School graduates 95% of its students and sends 100% of graduates to college, with athletics playing a meaningful role in the journey.

Our student-athletes work alongside coaches who know their names, understand their goals, and push them to improve every practice. Whether an athlete is focused on the 100-meter dash, the 400-meter relay, long jump, or shot put, the program emphasizes technique, conditioning, and teamwork.

From the Sprint Lanes to the Throwing Circle
Green Tech Eagles compete across every discipline of track and field — the 100 and 200 meters, the relays, and field events like discus and shot put. Qualifying for the New York State championship meet is the goal each spring, and it takes sprinters, distance runners, and throwers all pulling in the same direction.
