Brice Love of the Carolina Elite broke the 200m Midget boys National record in an unbelievable time of 23.38.The crowd was basically shocked to see the almost 2 second lead time light up the board. My phone was ringing from the west coast later that day to see if I had seen the amazing run.

Lauren Williams Is just brilliant! I just love how fast she is. Well, let me introduce myself, my name is Nya Boone and I run for a track team called Team Speed. I am from Norristown,PA. I saw Lauren run the 100 and I ran the 100 as well. I was telling my mom how great Lauren was. I also looked at her relay and I was BEYOND jealous because I’ve had relays but not as good as them. Then, I told my mother I wish lauren was on my relay team. As Lauren’s relay walked on the track for the 4×400 , I said Whooaa ! They look fast. All they did was prove me right. I just wish I had the chance to compete with Lauren so she could push me. After my 100 I shed a couple tears because of my performance knowing I could have done better. all I wanted was to go back and time and have that moment again. But it Is my second year and Only my 1st time making it to Nationals. There is still more to come. But , it’s Not Just Lauren and her relay team…. It’s… Quiet Fire. I Like the way you guys do things just by looking at your athletes. Keep Up the good work !
