As we prepare our catalog, the 2009 economic news forecasts a challenging year ahead. Daunting as the outlook is to many, we remain optimistic.

Although we are well–aware that budgets are stretched thinner than ever before, we look at what some view as a crisis and see an opportunity to connect with coaches and athletic directors driven to get more for their money. We are told by our most loyal customers that the reason they return season after season is our combination of world–class service and quality equipment offered at fair prices, not to mention our reasonable shipping charges. If we haven’t had the pleasure of doing business with you before, I’d like to invite you to browse this most recent edition of our “Field and Track Catalog” and see if you don’t agree.

Turning to this year’s collection of equipment, supplies and educational materials, we are pleased to present some items new to our catalog, and many returning favorites. This year, for example, we’ve added a new throws sector guide and sector tape for use with artificial surfaces; we’ve included a significant number of new instructional books and DVDs; and best of all, the Big Stick Vaulting Pole for Women is back! If you are looking for an economical, yet quality alternative to those pricey logo’d uniforms, may we suggest you consider InSport, Hind and our latest addition—Game Gear by Cobblestones.

Beyond these pages, our website will feature some mid–year additions that didn’t quite make this edition, as well as some really good deals on close–out and overstocked items, so do take the time to visit us at www.ontrackandfield.com.

At the end of the day, I want you to know that we are paying close attention to what the times and our customers call for. With your valued input and our eagerness to meet your need, let us all strive to achieve Excellence Through Experience.

Sincerely,

Ron Morris
Owner, On Track
