Track and Sprint Performance Training
in Scottsdale, AZ

Track and field in Arizona is growing. The state produces sprinters who compete at major Division I programs, and the proximity to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has intensified interest in speed development across the region. Scottsdale area athletes who are serious about track have the club programs, the facilities, and the resources. What has been missing is a coaching staff with legitimate Olympic credentials. Cravon Gillespie fills that gap. He stood on an Olympic podium, set a collegiate record at 9.93, and competed at the highest level of international athletics. He coaches from that experience, not from a textbook.

For multi sport athletes, sprint training at D1 Scottsdale produces improvements that carry over to every other sport on the schedule. The acceleration mechanics Cravon teaches a track athlete are the same mechanics that improve a football player's 40 yard dash time. The top end speed form that produces a faster 100 meter split is the same form that makes a basketball player quicker in transition. Sprint mechanics are transferable, and the athletes who invest in elite coaching here see improvements across every sport they compete in.

The D1 Training Scottsdale facility gives track athletes access to the same technology used at professional and collegiate programs: electronic timing gates that produce accurate split times at 10 meters, 20 meters, and 40 meters. Video analysis of drive phase and top end mechanics. Vertical jump measurement on explosive power output. For athletes preparing for college track evaluations, that infrastructure is not just valuable. It is necessary. College coaches want documented times and verified performance data, and D1 Scottsdale produces both.
