The Cougar Track Club’s mission is to promote the sport of amateur track and field and cross country while developing strong positive character traits and encourage a lifelong love of running and a healthy lifestyle in young athletes in the community of Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. Team Rule: "Do only that which brings Honor to Yourself, your Team and your Family" Team Motto: "Reputation is who people think you are and Character is who you are when no one is looking Team Motto: "Humble in Victory, Gracious in Defeat" Team Motto: "The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare" Team philosophy comes from the famous quote by Pierre de Coubertin who revived the Modern Olympic Games: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well." Team Strategy: ''As one" We win as One, we lose as One, we race as One single force on the field of competition
