Track & Field

The track and field team welcomes any member of the Suffield Community who wants to work hard and be a part of a fun and supportive team.

A variety of event options is open to athletes with any level and interest. Building on a history of success, expectations of team members are high but the supportive, competitive environment helps athletes achieve personal bests they never thought possible.

Over the last few years, several Suffield Academy track and field athletes have gone on to compete at colleges such as Bates College, Brown University, Wesleyan University, Saint Lawrence University, Bryant College, and UMass-Amherst. Dan Beaudette ’98 holds sprint records at Wesleyan. Eric Hoagland ’03 was a three-time Atlantic 10 Conference champion (outdoor long jump, indoor long jump, and indoor triple jump) for UMass-Amherst during the 2006-2007 seasons. Joe Pugliano ’09 is a member of the school record holding 1600 meter relay at Bryant College. Brie Beaudette ’07 made her mark as a long sprinter for Brown University, Allison Leonard ’06 completed an outstanding career as a distance runner at Bates, and Cherelle Allen ’08 finished in 11th place in the long jump at the 2009 Division III national championships for Springfield College.
