Congratulations to our athletes that participated in Sunday’s USA Track & Field Metropolitan Championship.  Although they competed in temperatures that were over 96 degrees, they hung in there and did their best. 

The standout athletes of the meet were Cruz & Joanna for silver medal winnings and for setting two new club records.

Isaiah Kamara (age 6) ran the 200M dash with a time of 1:22.30, placing 7th.  He also competed in the 100M dash (time and place will be posted late). 

Cruz Vernon (age 5) placed 2nd and set a new outdoor Sub-Bantam Boys (SBB) club record in the 800M, with a time of 3:34.91, dropping a little over 1 second off of his previous best of 3:36.00.  He also ran the 200M (taking 6th place) posting a time of 45.06 and the 400M (taking 4th place) in a time of 1:44.50.

Joanna Smith  (age 17) placed 4th and set a new outdoor Young Woman (YW) club record in the Long Jump, with a distance of 14’ 10”.  She also ran the 400M in a time of 1:00.23 (placing 2nd), the 200M in a time of 26.03 (placing 3rd) and the 100M, which she placed 4th (the time will be posted later).
