“The Blue & Silver Standard”

 (DIFFERENT - NOTICEABLE - APPEALING)

 

 

On the Stevens Raider Track & Field team, we don’t just compete—we commit. We commit to something greater than ourselves. We commit to excellence, to purpose, and to the legacy we are building—together.

 

Our Shared Vision:

Our Greater Purpose:

Our One Word: TOGETHER

TOGETHER is more than just a word, it’s our way of life.
It’s the heartbeat of everything we do on the Stevens Track & Field team.

 

We train TOGETHER.
We struggle TOGETHER.
We grow TOGETHER.
We rise TOGETHER.

 

In a sport that often celebrates individual marks, we choose to live and lead as one team. We believe every voice matters, every role matters, and every person matters.

 

We are many events—but one team.
Many stories—but one legacy.

 

As the song reminds us:
“If we fall, we will fall TOGETHER.
When we rise, we will rise TOGETHER.”
– For KING & COUNTRY

 

This year, we don't just chase PRs and podiums.
We chase a culture where no one is left behind,
where we lift each other higher,
and where our strength is found in our unity.

 

We are Strong alone. Unstoppable TOGETHER.

 

These are not just words we say, they are the compass that guides every decision we make, every practice we attend, and every teammate we support.

 

Our Standards of Excellence:

 

What sets us apart isn’t just our speed, strength, or skill, it’s our character. Our Standards of Excellence are the expectations we choose to live by every day. They are who we are and how we show up in every moment—on the track, in the classroom, and in our lives.

 

These are our non-negotiables, the foundation of our culture, and the character-driven habits that define what it means to be a Raider. Our standards align with our ASPIRE values and our philosophy of “Making CHAMPION Choices”. They focus on the controllable: our attitude, effort, integrity, respect, and commitment to each other. They serve as a visual blueprint of how we act in our community, in school, at practice, and at track meets.

 

Each standard is more than just a belief, it’s an action. It says: “This is what we stand for… so this is what you will see.”

 

You’ll find these standards outlined on the following pages. They are visible, teachable, and repeatable. Ask any Raider what they mean—and you’ll understand why this team is different.

 

This is the Blue & Silver Standard.
It’s not just a look.
It’s a way of life.
It’s who we are.
It’s what we do.
