Long Time STC Supporter Bill Butterworth Passes

We are extremely saddened to share that long time supporter of Shocker Track Club, Wichita State University Track & Field, and masters track and field, Bill Butterworth, passed away peacefully at home on August 20, 2021. Bill, as he insisted on being addressed, was the namesake of our annual Indoor Meet held at Wichita State’s Heskett Center.

Larry Staton described Bill like this – “What a guy!  A true gentleman in every way.  Very gracious.  One of the most encouraging individuals I have known.  We made many road trips to track meets together.  He had stories that filled in the gaps on every trip.  I recall his response when he was told that we were going to name the indoor after him.  He received that news so humbly but was hesitant in doing so as he thought others more deserving. He was an accomplished Masters athlete at the National level.  I know he was on a 4×100 that set a National record at one time and he may have a Standing Long Jump record.  Bill never talked about his records.  But, he did show me over 1,000 medals that he had won.  Most, if not all, were Gold.  He competed in Hurdles, 100 and 400 Meters when he was younger but injured a quad muscle that took him out of those events and High Jump.  He continued with Discus, Shot Put, Hammer and Standing Long Jump.   I am sure that many of you have stories about Bill.  I know you will miss him.

Bill will most definitely be missed and cannot be replaced!

Here We Go – STC Youth Team Outdoor Practice Begins

Hello Athletes and Parents!
We are ready to begin our summer program with a shortened session in July.
Practices will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 615p to 745p, and Saturday mornings from 900a to 1030a at Wichita State University’s Cessna Stadium.
Our program has not changed in that it is available to ages 5 through 18 and recent high school graduates.
Here are some details –
– Monday, July 6, 2020 is the first practice
– Saturday, August 1, 2020 is the final practice
– The cost for the program is $100 and is payable via cash or check made payable to Shocker Track Club
– The cost for 2020 high school graduates is $50 and is payable via cash or check made payable to Shocker Track Club
– Athletes will receive a team t-shirt, waterbottle, and wristband.
– Pole Vault – While we pride ourselves on providing instruction for all events, we will not be providing Pole Vault training this summer due to circumstances beyond our control. Athletes interested in Pole Vault should contact Denis Fraizer at polevault@shockertrackclub.com or 316-680-0852.
Attached you will find complete information in the following formats –

In closing, as we know, 2020 has been a year unlike any other.  We have spent weeks discussing the development of a Youth program that will provide a safe environment for athletes with our Coaches and Team Leadership.  Because we rent track access from Wichita State University-ICAA we will follow their guidelines for access and use.  Some of their guidelines, and ours, may seem overly controlling.  But they have been implemented for the safety of all of us.  As such, the program overview and safety guidelines mentioned here and in the attached documents are non-negotiable, but are considered fluid and will be reviewed daily and adjusted as necessary and appropriate.  Before committing to join the program we urge you to carefully consider if you can support the guidelines. 

Please contact Darren Muci at president@shockertrackclub.com  if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you on July 6th!
