2006 Season Results 2006 was a huge year for our track club. We had 8 athletes qualify for and compete in the USATF Junior Olympics in Baltimore, Maryland. Among the athletes competing, Anthony Riggins won the national title in the 100m dash with a time of 11.03 seconds! Our Youth boys 4x100m relay team also took 6th place overall. Congratulations on a great accomplishment!!! |
Nutrition Ideas for Athletes Knowing what to eat and when is a very complicated concept for most adults. It's ten times worse for young kids and teenagers. In the interest of good health, we encourage parents to be aware of what your athletes are eating. Start each morning with a good, wholesome breakfast. Remind your athlete to stay hydrated with water (not soft drinks and other sugar drinks) throughout the day and eat lots of fruits and veggies! |
