2009 National meet review:
Bantam Division: Morghan Mace did an outstanding job throwing the turbo javelin. After a shakey,
nervous first throw, she got herself together and through her second best throw ever-61ft 3in. Morghan barely missed the finals
by 8 inches but placed 9th overall at the National Championship meet.
Midget Boys: Jaheem Jones and Matt Mulholland represented the Midgets. Jaheem finished 20th in the Turbo Javelin and
Matt finished 19th in the Pentathlon. This was Matt's first National meet competition and Jaheem's second.
Youth Division: Brandon Armstrong was our lone youth boy at the meet. He ran the 200m hurdles.
This was his first taste of National competition and it showed. He wasn't scared but he was nervous as so many others were.
He will gain valuable experience from this and come back even stronger.
Intermediate Boys & Girls: The boys 4x100m relay was DQ because the final exchange went out
of the zone. BE PATIENT DEVIN and leave on time, you are our fastest runner. They were on to an excellent time. Aaron Carpenter
hurt himself at the Long Jump but Jett step in and ran a quality first leg. Dennis did what Dennis does and that's run a very
good back stretch. Matt Brandes ran so fast on the third leg that he scared Devin so Devin took off a little early. This group
will be a force to deal with next year. They better break the club record!
Young Men & Women: FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS! could have been a little better outside the
track. The 4x100 relay ran well but should have ran faster but there were several non-track issues like not resting or sleeping
that caused them to not to reach their potential. This was a great group of guys. I will miss the guys who will be ineligible
because of age next summer. I wish them all well. Goodbye to one of the great Breeze athlete, Thomas Filer. After 11 years,
he leaves with 16 club records, 6 National Championship medals and a lot of good memories.
