No matter where Daniel goes to run, he always becomes the darling of the meet. Daniel Tulloch supporter Kathy Derr was standing watching the race as Daniel passed by.

She was screaming at him to get moving as Daniel prepared to run up the hill outside the town with about one and a half miles to finish the race.  An elderly couple on the route told Kathy that the little boy with the Jamaican uniform has something special in him.

 This is the route that the race took in and out of Lewisberry, Pa.

Daniel ran a 25 Minutes 26.74 second 5k race. Daniel’s age 

group in this race was 1 to 14 years of age. He came in 

third. Last year at age 6, he ran a 31 minute race.

We still have a problem with him sightseeing while 

running. He has a tendency to run with people instead 

of passing people up. This habit will have to be 

broken before the USA Cross Country Season starts and 

his chance to run at Nationals, December 8, 2012 at 

Balloon Fiesta Park, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
