COACH WINSTON DINKINS
The Lord truly blesses me
with the Velocity Track Club
Family. On July 14-17, we participated
in the 2021 AAU (Amateur
Athletic Union) Club
National Championship at
Satellite Beach, Florida. This
was the best Outdoor National
Championship I attended, pertaining
to our team performance
and the team coming
together after the meet. There
must have been approximately
3,000 athletes participating.
Teams from throughout the
U.S., plus teams from the Bahamas,
Canada and Puerto Rico
were in attendance. This was
the hardest competition we
faced all year. Reviewing the
performance list prior to the
competition starting, Velocity
was slotted to win approximately
12 medals. Medals were
given to the top eight individuals
and relays in their event.
Our athletes peaked at the
right time! I believe it was a
combination of the training,
family and friends traveling
to Florida to support them and
the Lord’s blessings. They surpassed
the performance list
and earned 24 medals (1 gold, 5
silver, 5 bronze, 3 fourth place,
5 fi fth place, 3 sixth place, 1
seventh place and 1 eighth
place medal). Plus, we had 21
athletes break their personal
record, according to athletic.
net.
The following athlete’s
and their placing: Savannah
B., Silver medal in shot put;
Lyon Achigbu, seventh place
medal in the 400 meters; Madison
Scott, 6th place in the shot
put. Brianna Burrell, bronze
medal in the long jump; Shyenne
Blake, fourth place in the
long jump and sixth place in
the 80-meter hurdles; Candice
Palmer, gold in the 3000-meter

If this was a basketball
game, the coach would give
the game ball to an athlete
that was the MVP. We had
many MVPs, but if it was a
basketball game, the game
ball would go to 12-year-old
Shyenne Blake, the only athlete
that won medals in three
events: 80-meter hurdles, long
jump and 4×100-meter relay.
