Mission Statement

What Does it Mean to be College Ready?

We are tackling the question.

Advancement Through Athletics is a college readiness track and field club based in Indianapolis, IN. College readiness is defined as the ability for students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to successfully complete basic freshman level college courses (Apex Learning). At Advancement Through Athletics, college readiness also includes the transition experience (the first 6 months to a year). Our mission is to prepare scholars for college and collegiate athletics through track and field.
