In the past 125 years, track and field has proved to be a popular activity that offers teams in both the winter and spring seasons; historically it has drawn the most participants of any athletic program in the school. Thornton Academy offered its first winter track squad in the 1917-1918 season when it finished third in the state championship meet held at Bowdoin College in Brunswick.
Students who meet all academic eligibility requirements may compete for Thornton Academy upper school or middle school track and field. There are a variety of events that meet the interests and skill level of participants: sprinting, middle distance running, long distance running, hurdling, jumping, throwing, pole vaulting, and the race walk.
