Daniel making his last jump of the day.
The 2013 UAGTCA (United Age Group Coaches Association) meet started off slow for the Flash. This meet took place at Widener University in Chester, Pa. The meet started at 8:00 AM. To get to the meet on time, Daniel had to leave his home at 5:15 AM, January 12, Saturday morning. I no longer train Daniel on a daily bases. Stephanie, his mother has taken over his daily training duties. However, I do everything else including, scheduling his meets, overseeing his track and field equipment, acting as his press director, fund raiser, and many other things that comes up.

It
is my job to scout the regional track clubs to see who the best runners in the
Northeast are. I pass this information on to Stephanie who trains Daniel to
compete with these athletes. In my opinion, the best in the Northeast
Philadelphia/New Jersey/Delaware area in the Indoor Track Series for the 1500
and 800 meter run is Treymayne Dixon and Terell Stevens. They both run for the
Delco Stallions T.C. headquartered in South Philadelphia. However, in the 1500
Meter run, the Flash did not start well, allowing his competitors to gain as
much as a 10 foot lead. He had to play catch up for most of the race. He was
only able to overcome one competitor while the Delco Stallions competitors
won the race by a wide margin. However, this was Daniel's indoor 1500 Meter Personal
Best, 6 Minutes, 13.57 Seconds.
This
did not sit well with Stephanie because both I and she were looking for a 6
Minute 3 Second finish. That is how Stephanie worked out Daniel’s training in
practice. I was disappointed and Stephanie was “Pissed Off.” After Stephanie
and Daniel held a meeting, Daniel was ready for the 800 Meter run and a rematch
with Dixon and Stevens.

Robert Young out of the Comets Track Club, Maplewood, N.J. surprised us running a 3
Minute 4.44 Second run taking first place. Treymayne Dixon came in second with a 3
Minute 4.57 Second finish. Daniel came in third with a 3 Minute 4.95 Second finish.
Terell Stevens came in fourth with a 3 Minute 5.75 Second run.
All four runners had nearly a photo finish. This was a Personal Best for Daniel in indoor
track competition and he came in about where we expected him to finish.
Daniel is pointing the way to the next UAGTCA meet at the same place on Saturday, February 9, 2013.
Keep working hard, Daniel. Don't slow down.
