Minnesota’s Newest Prestigious Youth Track Club Train Together Achieve More

2026 Outdoor Season Waitlist

Woodbury Elite Track & Field is built on one simple belief: every athlete deserves to be seen, coached, and developed individually.

Led by Founder and Head Coach Emily Olmstead, whose lifelong love for the sport began at age six, Woodbury Elite was created to provide the kind of coaching that shapes athletes both on and off the track. As a former USATF and AAU competitor, Emily went on to earn a full Division I scholarship — an opportunity made possible through the mentorship of her club coaches. That experience inspired her to give back by building a program where every athlete is developed, supported, and never overlooked.

Today, Woodbury Elite is a team of 4 former Division I track & field athletes with expertise across sprints, distance, jumps, throws, hurdles and the Multi events. Our coaching staff helps athletes ages 7–18 unlock their full potential through intentional coaching, customized training, and a positive training environment curated for fostering growth and confidence in every athlete.
