Taking USA Track to a New Level of Excellence
Welcome to the NJ-NY Track Club, the East Coast's newest and hottest elite professional track team.
Under the direction of famed track and field coach, Frank 'Gags' Gagliano, the NJ NY Track Club is Gags'
newest undertaking, a team on his home turf in the NY/NJ region. With fifteen athletes currently on roster
and a wealth of new talent calling him weekly, this team is destined to be yet another monumental success on Gags'
resume. Combining veteran athletes with fresh out-of-college talent, the group consists of both men and
women ranging from the 800m to the 10,000m on the track with a number of cross country and road racing performers intermixed.
Continuing his tradition of developing and refining the world's best athletes, Coach Gagliano is determined
to instill the same work ethic, event-specific development, and individual life coaching that he has with
every one of his previous success stories. Often known as the 'Godfather' of track and field, Coach Gagliano
has one very basic goal in mind:
“...to develop each individual athlete to make the USATF Championship Finals, to qualify for their individual event for the World Championship & Olympic Teams, make World Championship and Olympic Finals, and medal.”
The formula is the same, but the story continues in a new location.
With the world's finest resources — the East Coast's finest facilities, and the most knowledgeable doctors, therapists, and coaches at our fingertips in the NY/NJ region, the team has all the necessary components to accomplish all that Coach Gagliano sees in each of the team's untapped talent.
