San Gabriel Valley High Performance Track Club - Building strong minds, strong bodies, and....strong character!
 
          Academic Mission:  
To provide educational opportunities to student-athletes and to empower parents with the tools to ensure equity and access to higher education for their student-athletes!
 
  • High Performance's success rate is not determined by how many first place ribbons the team earns, but by how many student-athletes are able to earn athletic-scholarships to the college of her choice.
 
  • We want each and every girl to be in the position to explore options regarding athletic/academic scholarships. 
 
 
Chairman's Message  January, 2009
 
Greetings, 
 
Once again we are embarking upon another track season.  We, at High Performance, are indeed prepared for this upcoming year’s academic and athletic challenges.  Our girls are expected to continue to excel in the classroom and on the track.  We participate in one of the toughest regions in America, Region 15; to that end, we are proud of our young ladies, as they strive to be the best in every facet of their lives. 
 
Further, you can look forward in 2009 to the first “Academic Support Tent” in the nation and free SAT Prep.  God helps those who help themselves.  To that end, God help the girls that try to beat us!  We are ready – set – go!
