About Us The Florence Track Club is made up of volunteer coaches, parents, and young athletes ages 6-18 who participate in USATF sanctioned Jr. Olympic Track and Field and Cross Country events. The club is a program of the City of Florence Parks & Beautification Department and is sponsored by the Police Athletics League. Team members also participate in local road races, school sponsored Track & Field and Cross Country events, and other club sponsored events around the state of South Carolina.
History The Florence Track Club was started over 25 years ago by two coaches - Richard Robbins from West Florence High School and Ronald Covington Jr. from South Florence High School who approached Rocky Rietkovich (of the City of Florence) to start a club. Today the FTC has grown to over 100 athletes for their track and field season, and over 50 for their cross county season.
