History of On Track

About On Track

Dear Track Enthusiast,

When I went into business as Ron Morris - On Track in 1978 my goals were to build the most comprehensive collection of track and field equipment, to offer it at the right price, and to deliver it promptly. We have lived up to these goals, but then almost any consciencious businessperson could. What really makes On Track distinctive and, I feel, better than the competition is the benefit our customers receive from the years of experience upon which On Track is built.

My athletic and coaching experience includes:

1952-1953	Two time California Interscholastic Pole Vault and U.S. Interscholastic Record Holder
1955-1957	Twice Intercollegiate All-American and University of Southern California Pole Vault Record Holder
1956	Sixth man in history to clear 15 feet
1956-1966	Eight times AAU All-American - ranked in the top 10 in the world for ten years
1960	Silver Medal in XVII Olympiad, Rome, Italy
1962	Only World Class athlete to successfully convert from steel to fiberglass (ranked #1 in the world that year)
1978	Ranked by Track and Field News as the 2nd Best Pole Vaulter (longevity) in history
1960-1978	Track Coach at California State University, Los Angeles (several All-American athletes)
1978-present	Owner and operator of On Track

My experience, combined with that of my carefully selected staff, gives On Track the competitive edge. We can offer you the kind of free personal consultation unavailable from other dealers. Our experience has led us to investigate the latest innovations in equipment technology. And, if our suppliers have not produced the type of advancements we require, we have developed our own On Track answers to our customer's needs.

As you look through our catalog, featuring a full range of vaulting poles, weight implements, track accessories and training films and videos from the finest sources available, please take note of our theme: Excellence Through Experience. On Track challenges you to take advantage of its strong foundation of experience for the realization of your own excellence.

Sincerely,

Ron Morris
CEO, On Track
