Outdoor Track and Field

Outdoor Track and Field at Landon is all about perseverance, responsibility, and teamwork.

Nothing is more rewarding than working hard together towards a common goal with proper planning, dedication, and execution.

There will be struggles - working out outside, even in colder weather, and tough workouts, among others - but athletes will learn to be resilient through these challenges.

Our student-athletes commit to the team, positive spirit, and a desire to work hard and improve. They commit to grit and tenacity, pushing through difficulty to improve against themselves and their opponents.

Program Overview

Our Varsity Program

Athletes of all skill levels can have a place on the outdoor track & field team at Landon. The only real requirements are a strong work ethic and a positive attitude. The only real requirements are a strong work ethic and a positive attitude. All student athletes will have the opportunity to compete, so no one "sits on the bench.”

By the end of a season, athletes can expect to have honed such values as commitment, discipline, perseverance, and goal setting.

Unique to our program, many of the athletes on our roster do not identify as runners first.

Rather, we benefit greatly from practicing inclusivity and welcoming athletes from others sports into the fold. We therefore strongly encourage multi-sport athletes to try track & field, and we believe that the skills they develop with us translate well to their other sports.

Program Leadership

Head Coach Griffin Gagnon has been teaching and coaching at Landon since 2019.

He became head coach in 2022 after supporting the team as an assistant coach. Prior to arriving at Landon, Coach Gagnon served as an assistant coach for track & field at Taft School in Connecticut for two seasons. An accomplished runner on talented teams in both high school and college, he was New Hampshire D1 state champion in the 1500m in high school before moving on to Colby College. At Colby, he ran cross country and indoor and outdoor track, being named All-NESCAC and New England D3 All-region in cross country, the D3 Maine indoor state champion in the mile, and an outdoor all-New England top-10 finisher in the 1500m. In addition to his outdoor track & field responsibilities, Coach Gagnon teaches Upper School Spanish and coaches varsity indoor track & field, after having coached varsity cross country and Upper School strength & conditioning for several seasons.

Accomplishments

Many of our athletes go on to collegiate careers, whether in running or another sport.

Recently, track & field alumni have gone on to several NCAA programs:

Milan Matteis ’25 – Brown University
Sam Cohen ’23 – Tulane University
Asim Hakim-Florian ’23 – Colgate University

Our team has produced a number of point-producers at the IAC championship. We have also sent 4x100m and 4x400m teams to the Penn Relays in the past few years.
