Nice way to start the year....

First week of the New Year proved that we are still on the right track to being a professional team in Track and Field, with great performances from Anthony, Isaish, Lalonde, and Troy in their individual events, performances that improve week after week.

In the Mix: As of now we are nationally ranked, in bout individually and as a collective group. Lalonde is currently third on the world list with his performance of 21.23 in the 200m and the club is 2nd ranked in the nation with a time of 3:12.72 in the 4x400m, Just behind Peen State with a time of 3:11.83.

This was a great way to start off the year, now we must keep up the momentum as we progress. Until next time....
