Thus far I have been impressed with this team's character and hope it continues and even improves.
The thing about this sport is that MOST of our athletes do not know anything about what we do until they set foot on the track for the first time. Many don't know who's who in the sport.
While everyone can relate to Tom Brady (who really is not fast), not many of us know who Allyson Felix is (the most decorated American in the Olympics for Track and Field).
I have loaded two videos that I would like for you all to see.
The first is the 4 by 100 meter world record set in 2012 by the United States relay team. The names of the athletes are highlighted as well as some information about relays (the good, the bad and the ugly).
The second is a 4 by 400 relay race that resulted in us winning the 2013 Western Mass Championship. This video can be found on our Ladyspartan web site as well.
I encourage you all to view these videos for inspiration, but also to understand a small part of what this sport is about, and how much real fun it is.
Enjoy!
