2015: Daniel ran the XC 3K in Philadelphia

Daniel received 13th place. One to Fifteenth place goes to Niagara.

 Daniel Tulloch ran in the 2015 Mid-Atlantic USATF Cross Country meet in Philadelphia, Pa. on Saturday morning at 10:00 AM.  Daniel ran in the 9-10 age group. He came in 13th with a time of 16 Minutes 21 Seconds in the 3K race.  The first 15 runners qualify to go to the Region 2 Meet in Niagara, NY.   This year, Daniel will not run in the Region 2 meet because he wants to concentrate on his Basketball career.


Daniel has been running in this Association meet since age 5 and has always qualified for the Region 2 meet for 6 years, every year.   

Dating back to the mid-1960's, the USATF Junior Olympic program is the most visible youth athlete developmental program in the world. Nearly 70,000 youth athletes compete each year in the Junior Olympic Track & Field and Cross Country programs. Many of America's Olympians began as youth athletes, including stars such as Maurice Greene, Allyson Felix, Bryan Clay, John Godina, Deena Kastor, and Allen Johnson.
Through a series of professional events consisting of preliminary, Association, and Regional meets, athletes have the opportunity to advance to the National Championships in track & field and cross country.
Once USATF members, participants can enter the Junior Olympics either as part of a USATF club or as "unattached." Competition takes place in six (6) 2-year age divisions, from 8 & under through 17-18.
