Velocity Track Club prays that
everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving
Holiday. On Saturday, Nov.
27, we competed in two meets, The
Foot Locker XC Northeast Championship
at Van Cortlandt Park
and the Metro Eagles Indoor Meet
at the Armory in Fort Washington,
New York.
At the Foot Locker XC Northeast
Championship, teams traveled
from as far as Pennsylvania
to compete. The competition was
fi erce, and medals were hard to
earn. They gave t-shirts to all
competitors and the top 30 athletes
received medals.
The following races were contested:

3K (1.8 miles); 11- and 12-yearold
3K; 13- and 14-year-old 5K (3.1
miles); and 15 and up athletes 5K.
Velocity was blessed with fi ve
medals. In the 10 years old and
under division: 7-year-old Xoan,
8-year-old Serenity and 9-year- old
Lyon earned medals.
In the 11- and 12-year-old division,
Romel medaled and in the

Great job to all that competed
