Since 1978, the Providence Cobras track and field club has given young people a chance to become a part of a great team, excel at a sport, and in many cases given them an opportunity to earn scholarships to universities across the country. The Cobras compete at the highest level of track and field in the State, Regional and National championships. 

The Cobras success is attributed to the dedication and commitment of the athletes and coaching staff, which is led by head coach, Thomas (Thom) Span.  Coach Thom has coached and competed at every level of track and field.  Along with his coaching staff, they have produced some of the country's top high school, collegiate and Olympic athletes.
