We had one medalist. Nine year old Robert Vaughn, Jr had an outstanding performance in the Turbo Javelin: throwing 53 Feet, 17 feet farther than his previous personal best throw, earning him a 7th place finish.
We also had many top-15 performances.
Our 9 year-olds were rather impressive this past week. Robert medaled in the Turbo Javelin; Natalie Rome qualified to compete in the semi-finals of both the 100 Meter Dash and 200 Meter Dash and placed 13th in the 400 Meter Dash, and Tyree Arso qualified to compete in the semi-finals of the 200 Meter Dash and placed 11th in the 400 Meter Dash.
Ronald Arso, Jr and Conner Winston we very competitive in the 10 year-old Long Jump, but were bumped out of the finals by the very last jumpers on their very last jump, placing them at 13th and 15th respectively.
Eleven year-old Gabriel Byrd put on a stellar performance in the 800 Meter Run, coming in 14th place and running a personal best time of 2:44.45. But it was Bernard Robertson, IV who stole the show in the 800 Meter Run, winning his heat with a time of 2:40.47 and placing 12th overall.
Many of our athletes ran personal bests this past week.
