The Hershey Blaze;

One thing Coach Alan Paynter told the children last week before this meet started. He said to the children that all they have to do is their best. All you have to do is do well against the people at the meet. Remember that many people can beat them but the only people that matter are the children running at that meet, against them. 

  

 Hello folks:
   

I wanted to take this opportunity to express how wonderful it was spending time with the kids in Bethlehem this weekend. Aside from the great performances I think o was most pleased with the kind words from other adults and teams about our kids. People have really come to respect and appreciate the kids of HBTC. A class act they all were. 

Jen and I just arrived in Delaware dropping Maliyah off at at the beach for some rest this week and I am still  awake- so I sat down and started counting results and thought I'd share what I found: 
49 kids have qualified to advance to Region 2 Championships at Slippery Rock. Amazing! 
 
  
We had a total of 20 1st place finishes, 15 2nd place and 18 3rd place. We also had 36 place between 4th and 6th place. All of whom advance. This brings us a grand total of roughly 77 medals earned at the MidAtlantic USATF Junior Olympics!!

I am totally through the roof. This is the biggest showing of HBTC and more than we could ever have imagined when we started the club 2 years ago. I want to thank you and your kids for the fantastic ride that they are taking me on. They are the best!! 

In signing off. You'll hear more tomorrow as I will not be at practice or the York meet this week. I am away for work until Friday. 

Best

Alan and Jennifer
