2013 USATF, Independent, and UAGTCA Schedule

Seven Year old Daniel Tulloch is starting Hurdle practice. His first hurdle event will be in January 2016 at age 11. It takes that long to teach people and have them become experts in hurdling.

He is out to top his mother Stephanie Ann Williams Tulloch. At age 12, she became 11th Seed at nationals in Iowa in 1995 and at age 14, 20th Seed in North Carolina in 1997.

The results came in on the leader board at the end of the race saying that 

Daniel came in 8th. But the official results online says he was 9th. 

Watch the race for yourself.

On the video, I read the information off the leader board and it said that 

Daniel came in 8th place. Now the online website says that he came in 9th 

place. Since it does not mean a medal or advancement to International

Meets, technically, it does not matter. 

This is Daniel's national standings!

1500 Meter Run -- 6th Seed in the Nation

800 Meter Run -- 9th Seed in the Nation

Long Jump -- 9th Seed in the Nation. 

Daniel had visitors 

Vida (my first cousin)is the one in the Black and White stripped blouse. The little 

boy in the red shirt is Marc, Vida's grandson. He is playing with

my grandson Daniel.

Daniel is on the left, Marc is on the right. They are 5th cousins.

Where do we go from here?

We will not participate in any international meets this year. Instead, we will 

prepare for Daniel's out door track and field program starting in the month of 

May in Philadelphia. That series will end hopefully in Daniel going to Nationals 

in North Carolina at the end of July. Daniel's practice starts on March 11, 2013.
