Daniel and a friend from a Philadelphia Track Club playing with toys waiting for first call of their events. If I was not proud of Daniel before, I am proud of his performance at the UAGTCA Indoor Development 3 meet on Saturday Feb. 11, 2012. I don’t mind saying that he ran his butt off. He ran his personal best in the 1500 Meter as well as the 400 Meter run. I know that he is doing so well because of the treadmill training that he does twice a week, running 10 minutes at speed 8 as well as 4 five minute periods at the same speed.
Daniel running in his 1500 Meter Run
I am very happy with the speed reduction that he has shown in the 1500 Meter Run. In the first developmental meet, he ran 7 min. 31.51 Seconds. The second developmental meet showed a time of 7 minutes, 3.53 seconds. But in this meet, Daniel ran a time of 6 minutes, 32.01 seconds. That is 2 minutes faster than his time last year in February.
Daniel in the race of his 6 year old life
Daniel ran with the best that the Philadelphia area offered. The Drumwright family is the best in this event. They are members of the Mallery Challengers Track Club out of 4 E McPherson St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19119. They specialize in long distance running. Both Daniel and Andrew battled all 8.5 laps for second place. At the end, Daniel was able to get the edge on Andrew because Daniel ran through the finish line. Andrew slowed down just before the finish line. This is a habit that most children have at 8 years old and under.Everyone in that race was one year older than Daniel.
Daniel also had a time of 1 minute, 36.26 second in the 400 Meter run. The best time was 1 minute 21.45 Seconds. Daniel won his heat but finished 22nd overall. Forty-six athletes participated in this run.
