Lancaster Lightning

Founded in 1999; Lancaster Lightning is one of the earliest USA Track and Field clubs sanctioned in the area. In the decades this program has been operational several Division 1 athletes, Junior Olympians, and State Champions have developed their talent wearing our uniform.

Many of the youth track clubs in the area today were formed by athletes and coaches that got their start within our organization - and countless runners that compete with other teams in the Summer train with us in the offseason. Lancaster Lightning founder and Head Coach, Terry Caro, opens his arms, his training facility, and is willing to impart his boundless knowledge and experience to any young athlete (or aspiring coach or trainer) who wants to be successful and are willing to do the work necessary to reach their full potential.         

​

One of the biggest differentiating factors from Lancaster Lightning and other sports clubs is the true athlete-first culture that exists within our organization. We don't rush the development of our runners; we don't overtrain - instead we work with the athlete to develop an individualized training plan that evolves as the athlete does. Our aim is for our runners to be their best and earn scholarships while not being hampered by injuries from over exertion, or fatigued and mentally drained by the time they reach college.

Lancaster Lightning has been successful in competition and a cornerstone of the community for decades, we invite you to come see why.
