We are passionate about developing youth athletes - 100% of Blue Lightning Track Club's final roster qualified for the AAU National Junior Olympics in 2017, and 100% were academic honor students.

The Blue Lightning Track Club, formed in 2014, is an approved coed AAU and USA Track and Field youth club based in Conyers, GA. The club is led by Head Coach Steve Strother, a 4-time NCAA All-American athlete and a graduate of Auburn University where he trained and competed as a full scholarship athlete under Mel Rosen, 2-time Olympic Coach and head coach at Auburn University.

As recent evidence of the effectiveness of our coaching and philosophy is that 100% of Blue Lightning Track Club’s final roster of athletes qualified for the AAU National Junior Olympics in 2017, and 100% were academic honor students.
