2015 York Invitational Meet

 
The smoking Jamacan Flash with his two Gold Medals.



On June 24, 2015,  Daniel, the "flash" and his Hershey Blaze Track Club went down to York, Pa. to run against the Trojan Track Club. The Trojan Track Club welcomed many young athletes in York, PA who want to learn the sport of track & field in a fun, competitive,  and social environment.

 Daniel ran in three events.

 
The 100 Meter Run: 
Daniel has it in his mind that he is a short distance runner. So he was signed up to run the 100 Meter Dash.  No, he is not Usain Bolt  but if running the 100 Meter and running the 4X100 Meter relay makes him happy then good for him.   
 
Here is Usain Bolt! Click on the link below.

Usain Bolt new 100m world record: 9.58!!!

He is at the age where girls and boys notice each other.  Two girls walked up to him and asked him if he is a long distance runner after Daniel ran the 1600 Meter Run.  Daniel's replied, "I am a short and long distance runner!"  

 

He might be Jamaican but he is not Usain Bolt.

 

Too bad I am not  54 years  younger. Who am I kidding? I will be just as slow as I am now.    

 
Daniel is preparing to
run the
800 Meter Run


The 800 Meter Run:
He ran the 800 M Run in 2 Minutes and 59 seconds just like the old Jamaican Flash, placing first.


The Starter blocked the view of Daniel
finishing his 1600 Meter Run.




The 1600 Meter Run:
He ran the 1600 Meters (1 Mile) in 7 Minutes, 25 Seconds. This distance is what Middle School and High School runs.  USATF runs the 1500 Meter that is shorter  than WPIAA events in Middle and High School.

 

The "Flash" dominates the 800 M and the 1500 M in Eastern Pennsylvania. He will have to work to gain his dominant status in the Region.  Next for Daniel will be the USATF Region 2 Meet in Slippery Rock in Western Pennsylvania.  Wish him well.
