2014 USATF Northeast Zone Youth Indoor Track and Field Championships

Hey Nixon's Back!!!

At age 4, Tom's River, NJ is the place where Daniel got his start and won his first chance to compete in National Competition (8 and Under Division). The problem at that time was that Rule 100C did not allow 4 year old children to compete on a National Level.

John Bennett Indoor Athletic Complex  1519 Hooper Ave. Toms River, NJ  08753

Sunday, February 23, 2014, Daniel Tulloch also known as the Jamaican Flash ran the 800 Meter and 1500 Meter Run, in the 9 and 10 year old division. This is the first USATF Meet where he runs in this division. The top 6 finishers move on to the National Indoor Championships in Landover, MD, March 8 and 9, 2014.

No, the Flash will not be going to National competition this year for indoor track. In the 1500 Meter Daniel came in with a time of 6 Minutes 18.14 Seconds.  He was 21st out of 26 athletes competing.  First place took the race in 5 Minutes 11.77 Seconds. Six place took it in 5 Minutes 35.19 Seconds.

In the 800 Meter, Daniel came in 31^st out of about 40 people with a time of 3 Minutes 19.60 Seconds. The winner's time was 2 Minutes, 39.77 Seconds. The 6th place winner had a time of 2 Minutes 46.51 Seconds.   

  Our Problems

Daniel's problems with his illness has affected him more than what we realized. His coach, Andrew Lofton, the head of the St. Luke Spirit Track Club, has in so many words made the same statement to Damine Tulloch, Daniel's father.

• Daniel may not have fully recovered from his Appendicitis operation last November. He could not practice until early January. This 6 week layoff put him out of condition. Because of this, his development fell behind others of his same age.

• Because of the cold and snowing weather this winter, Daniel could not practice outside. In the eastern part of the state, New Jersey and New York, children have an indoor track or large gym where they can practice.

• Daniel is in a new division, running against 10 year olds who are far more advanced than Daniel. As of this meet, Daniel is still 8 years old.

The Solution

This illness has interrupted Daniel’s development. He has sharpened his skills continuously from age 3 until November 2013. We will have to continue to train hard and sharpen his skills again so that he can compete in this division.   

We hope to have him ready to compete in the 3000 Meter and Hurdle races once he is placed in the 11 and 12 year old Division.  

2014 UAGTCA Indoor Development Meet #3 - 2/1/2014

Daniel (# 10) as he waits at the starting line. Mushin Muhammad (#9) his team mate is standing beside him.

As Daniel completed his two races on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014, his coach, his mother, and I desperately worked on his running problems. We have to make him faster and stronger in the next three weeks before he enters into the USA Indoor Track and Field Zonal Meet in Toms River, N.J., Saturday & Sunday, February 22 & 23, 2014 .

The zonal race is the race that counts. The UAGTCA meets are just practice meets. In the USA Indoor Track and Field Zonal Meet, the top 6 individuals in each event in the 9 and 10 age divisions will advance to the National Indoor Championships in Landover, MD, on March 8-9, 2014.

How he did in the 1500 Meter

You know how in football or basketball an officials call can change the nature of the game. You hear coaches say after the game that sometime the call goes in your favor and sometimes the call goes against you.  In Daniel's case, an official who I had problems with when Stephanie, Daniel's mother was in the 9 and 10 year old division was officiating Daniel's 1500 meter run. He made a big mistakes declaring Daniel third instead of forth. It was very obvious that Mushin Muhammad came in third by at least 10 seconds. Mr. Muhammad, a football coach in Philadelphia was hopping mad and I do not blame him. I thought that the official would have review and changed the results of the race after the meet but he did not.

How did Daniel do in the 800 Meter Run

We have Daniel run the 800 Meter Run to develop his speed. He is not a runner that can run on a National or Regional level in the 800 Meter or lower events. They are to short. In fact, we are developing him to be the dominant runner in the country in the 3000 run (2 Miles).

The Flash is back at Widener University on January 25, 2014

The Flash is back after his hospital appendicitis illness last November that made him miss the USATF Cross Country Region 2 meet at Slippery Rock, Pa.  This is a picture of Daniel going into the 8 and Under age group at age 5 at his first indoor Track Meet. 

Kathy Derr said to Daniel how does it feel to be back at a track meet? It feels good! I been away from it for too long.  I can remember being in Jr. High and I could not wait until track season was over. This shows the difference between Daniel, a real athlete and his Grand Father, someone who was playing track.  

In the United Age Group Track Coaches Association (UAGTCA),  Daniel ran the 1500 for the first time as a Bantam (9 and 10 year old) even though he is only 8 years old.  He is also coming off of Appendix surgery. He lost his running edge and is in the process of getting it back.  This showed in his two races.

Daniel placed 17th in the 800 meter run with a time of 3 minutes, 48.35 seconds. His time was way off his 2013 outdoor time. This showed that he lost a lot in running ability being off for 2 months.

Andrew Lofton decided to change his training schedule to include wall training.

In the picture above, the coach demonstrated what he wants Daniel to do.

Here is a picture of the coach talking to another coach from a rival track club.

Daniel Had Company

One of Kathy Derr's neices Nikki Parker Yoder along with her daughter Peyton Grace Yoder who lives in the Philadelphia area came to see Daniel at the meet. They all sat and chatted with Daniel between races. 

We have until Feb. 23, 2014 to get Daniel ready to run and qualify for USATF Indoor Nationals come March 8th and 9th. It will be hard for him to pull this off since he is at the bottom of the Division in age.

Would You Like to See Your Family Killed?

We are going to study the idea of planting a false flag. That is if you can handle the truth.

The United States has been at war for over 12 years. How can a peaceful nation be convinced to go to war? Americans had to be convinced that if matters can’t be settled peacefully then they have to be settled by force.

In America, the corporations and the super rich control the press. The military industrial complex started selling the message of war in the American media. That message was simple, blame the radical Islamic terrorist. The government issues press releases and sends people sympathetic to their cause on the Sunday morning talk show circuit. They told the people what they wanted the people to believe. For example, very little oil was coming from the middle east in the 1970s. Most of our foreign oil was coming from Canada and Venezuela. The Canadians cut off our oil. But the American media told the people sitting in long gas lines that it was the Arabs and Islamic countries that refuse to sell us the oil to make gasoline. This was the first “False Flag” sent out by the people who control the US Government.

The next step was to show the nation that the Islamic Terrorist are out to get Americans. They did this by  showing news of offenses against American citizens. If you notice out of all the Americans that were killed, kidnapped, or captured, very few were non-white. That is because traditionally White Americans are quicker to go to war than other groups of American people. So the government told us that we had to go to war!  

Since the beginning of the 1970s to the turn of the century, Americans listen to an ongoing message of Arab and Moslem attacks by people from the middle east. Then came 911, an attack using 4 private planes, crashing into the Trade Towers in NY, NY, the Pentagon, as well as a plane going down in Pennsylvania. Before the last Trade Tower fell, the government had a person at every TV broadcast telling the public that it was an Islamic Terrorist Attack and that the head was Ben Laden. They even told you where he was hiding, in Afghanistan. Since Saddam Hussain of Iraq was about to attack us, the government decided to invade both countries to protect the American people.

This was all done before. Hitler wrote the book on how to plant false flags so that your public will go along with your idea of war. Click on the picture below and see how it was done against Poland.

Al jazeera America news service in 2001 had the same opposing opinion as CBS did in Germany in 1939.  Al jazeera America news service spoke up and was denied entrance to cover the NYSE.  

You vote for the President and Congress but you don’t vote for National Policy. Corporations run America and they set policies for our government to follow. If the politicians don’t follow corporate wishes, politicians will not be in power long.

Take a look at this video below by clicking on the picture. It will help explain the aims of our true leaders. 

What you can do is make people aware of what is going on by sending this blog to all your friends and relatives. The alternative is to dismiss this and hope that you, your relatives, and your children do not go up in flames. Like always, it is your choice. You can be part of the problem or be part of the solution. It is up to you......
