Who We Are

We are students and adults, past and present athletes, and their parents, interested or engaged in health and education careers. Many of us are local coaches, health and physical educators, and/or health professionals.

UVTC developed as a group of coaches, fitness enthusiasts and present and former track and field athletes who currently travel a minimum of 30 miles to the nearest track.

UVTC’s chair, Ginny Richburg, started a track and field program at Randolph Union High school in the spring of 2005, recognizing the challenge of not having a practice facility. When Richburg found out that VTC had plans to expand its athletic venues, and that those plans included a Phase I new soccer field, she caught other area coaches in person at meets, and on-line, and slowly began finding other track enthusiasts in the community, constituting the membership of UVTC.
