ABOUT MARICOPA ELITE

Maricopa Elite was founded by Coach Ooops, the Head Girls Track & Field Coach at Maricopa High School, who was brought into the program three years ago by Head Coach Carl Evans. Together, they have transformed Maricopa track into more than just a competitive program; they’ve built a culture rooted in family, accountability, love, hard work, discipline, and most importantly, fun.

Maricopa Elite was created to address a real issue in our city: too often, our top talent leaves Maricopa in search of bigger opportunities elsewhere. We believe those opportunities should exist right here at home. Through Maricopa Elite, we are building a platform that develops athletes to compete at the highest level, physically, mentally, and emotionally, while staying connected to their community.

This is more than a team. This is a movement to keep Maricopa talent in Maricopa, to build champions, and to create a lasting culture that prepares athletes for the next level and beyond.
