Like, dude, like, nice threads, wow.
The Surfer guys brought us 800meter excitement all season
long. Someone tie down the starter before
the wind blows him away. Purvis
had a great season, as did Tlax. Meet help was just glad to sit down
after working the discus on the dark side of the moon at JMU
stadium. Lynnsey had a great season
vaulting. No, valley fans this is not Julia
Roberts. Sarah Bowman (a junior) spanked all in Virginia who
stepped to the line against her. Valley fans continue to
watch this national class runner and perhaps one
day ... a U.S.
Olympian. At valleytrack.org we are happy and proud
to once again, bring you the valley track excitement this
season. The photographer (being a throws coach)
regrets not being closer to the track and the early meet
events. We are still looking for digital photography help
and are grateful to the Neil Family for all contributions
this season. Track is a very unique sport where a
young person builds all the positive traits that any parent,
teacher or coach would hope to see young people develop.
While zealous AAU and club sports programs have turned our
children into mercenary semipro athletes at 10 years old,
middle and high school track continues to shine as one of
the most character building sports a young person can
participate in. Youth track athletes are a special breed
where delayed gratification and discipline prevail over
hype, priorityless parents, and marketing pressures.
Bev Good once told this writer...
"Track and Field gives you no place to
hide and all the opportunity to grow as a person while you
compete head to head with those you respect". Thanks to all the
Coaches in the Valley District for the thankless and
long hours you have
put into building our leaders of
tomorrow.
