COACH DINKINS
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Due to
the COVID 19, our outdoor 2020 track
and fi eld season was cancelled. Once
the governor gave permission for
youth low impact sports to play. We
decided to hold track and fi eld meets
among ourselves (Internal Meet). Every
other Saturday for three months,
we had a track meet at Van Cortland
Park’s track. Having over 50 athletes
on the team, allowed our athletes to
compete against each other. The people
exercising at Van Cortland Park allow
us to get certain lanes on the track
to run our races.
The following events were contested:
100 meters, 200m, 400m, 800m,
1500m, 1500 meters race walk and shot
put. We utilized a point system to determine
the winners at the end of the
eight meets (1st = 5 points, 2nd place =
4 points, 3rd place = 3 points, 4th place
= 2 points and 5th place = 1 point). For
the fi nal (8th) meet, the points double.

Each athlete could pick three events to
compete in. The top ten athletes with
the most points after the eight meets
won the awards. The competition got
the parents and athletes more engage
at practice.
The top athletes were Cameron Joseph,
Bryce Hickman, Lyon Achigbu,
Kenese Irish Bramble, Kenia Irish
Bramble, Savanna Minter, Talia
Dixon, Pierce Parker, Saniah Caldwell
and Romel Barrett. They received a
trophy and a Velocity t-shirt. Congratulation
to all athletes who competed,
all the volunteers who assist with the
meets and all the people who allowed
us to use certain lanes as they were exercising.
