2015 UAGTCA Indoor Championship at Lehigh University

University Center
Recognized among the nation's premier research universities, Lehigh offers a rigorous academic community for nearly 7,000 students. Their small size, ideal student-to-faculty ratio and vibrant campus allow students to collaborate on projects in and out of the classroom.

The reason why children 18 and below have Track and Field meets at Colleges and Universities is because children and parents can have a chance to look at these schools. College recruiters go to these meets to evaluate children to watch for future recruiting.

In 2015 The UNITED AGE GROUP TRACK COACHES ASSOCIATION(UAGTCA) conducted 4 meets as part of their indoor series. These meets are sanctioned by the Mid-Atlantic USA Track and Field (USATF) and sponsored solely by the UAGTCA.

The meets are open to any athlete who meets the age requirements.

All athletes under the age of 19 must have their age verified in order to compete. No affiliation or membership in any group or organization is required in order to participate.

All meets are governed by the current USATF Rules of Competition, except as noted below. Athletes who compete in the High School division may, but ARE NOT required to, represent their school. Entry into each meet is independent and no prior participation in the series is required in order to compete in any of these meets including their indoor championship.


Daniel the Flash received two points for his team.

The UAGTCA Series comes to an end and the outdoor USATF Series begins for Daniel running the 800M and 1500M. After that is Cross Country Season again.

I am very proud of his 6 year work out in competitive track since age 4. He has been on the College radar screen since 2009.
