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).
