The Blessings continues
for Velocity Track Club! On
Sunday, May 2nd, we traveled
to Paterson, New Jersey to
compete in the Transy East
Invitational. There were approximately
25 teams from
New Jersey, New York, and
PA in attendance, with approximately
600 athletes
competing. It cost us $734 to
compete in this meet, but it
was worth it. Great competition
and a chance for our
athletes to compete against
different athletes. The following
events were contested:
100, 200, 400, 800,
1500 and 3000 meters. 4×100,
4x400meter relay. Shot put,
turbo javelin and long jump.
Plus, they had Pee Wee races
for 5/6 years old children.
Medals were awarded to
the top six athletes in their
event / age division. Team
trophies were award to the
teams with the most points,
Girls and Boys.
Velocity had 36 athletes
compete and 30 out of the
36 athletes earned a medal.
With some earning three
medals. To put the icing on
the cake, we were Bless with
the Girls Team Trophy. It
was a proud moment for Velocity
when we were awarded
the team trophy. The following
