My Students

This year we have a great group of runners that are looking forward to the track season. Although young, many of the athletes have already begun an enormous admiration for the sport. All of the runners work hard and are dedicated to the team. They work hard, respect one another and their coaches. They deserve better equipment for how hard they work day in and day out. Personally, this group of students are going to do big things in the future.

My Project

Our runners are very devoted to their team and we want them to be prepared for anything they may come across in their future. They have witnessed other teams using blocks, which cuts your time down by a substantial amount. We want to give them the opportunity to practice with these, so they will be ready for future opportunities. All we want is for them to do their best and reach their potential. During practice our runners will use these blocks by adjusting the numbers and observing how they run best. Our team has grown beneficially and to reward their hard work an opportunity like this would be absolutely amazing. Thank you for your consideration.
