PRESIDENT ARCHER’S MESSAGE
LEADERSHIP IS A GIFT. It is the ability to strengthen and empower others while stripping oneself of “self” and giving all that you have for the benefit of others. Leadership is accountability, honesty, selflessness, and the maximum test of hard work. Leadership is about what we are able to do together that changes the culture of the place where we live. It’s about speaking positively each day and encouraging athletes and piers in good and in bad times. For 20 years of the history of Bahamian track and field, David and Laura Charlton (excuse me…Laura Pratt-Charlton) have “behind the scene” as well as “in front of the scene” contributed to the leadership of our sport.
Twenty years of Star Trackers Club existence equate to a contribution of 30% of the life of this Federation. Dave and Laura, together with the entire Star Trackers organization have produced some of the heroes of Bahamian track and field. Even more, the Star Trackers organization has assisted in securing scholarship opportunities for hundreds of Bahamian athletes across the United States, attending some of the best learning institutions in the world. Given the opportunity to speak on this club’s behalf, I would say that their greatest achievement is not the work that this organization on the track, but the work that they have done to change the culture of our sport by focusing on making the lives of people all around them better! The team’s demand and quest to continue setting the bar higher has translated to the improvement of the lives of their spiritual, track and professional communities. I have witnessed the products of their successes each day in the coaches who show up daily, many of whom were once athletes who “spiked up”, and today
now making the untold sacrifices to the young student athletes and future Bahamian stewards.
The professionalism and the efficiency of this wonderful and dynamic team has changed the way we see and deliver our sport today. I can always expect a pronouncement from Dave at the start of all of his track meets… he would say “we will be done before 5 o’clock”.Then he would come back to me and say “the meet is over and its only 4:45pm” with a wide, proud smile.
Dave and Laura, together with the Star Trackers Coaching and Administrative staff have been game changers in our sport, and they have attempted to change the game not by themselves but, providing a service to other clubs in assisting them in the delivery of their meets. The mission to help without being seen and to be unapologetic about their demand for excellence is true leadership!
As the Star Trackers Track & Field Club celebrate 20 years of legendary work and 18 years of hosting The Star Performers Track and Field Classic, each year we look forward to something bigger, better and more amazing. In these times of Covid-19, we must reimagine a sport that has changed so dramatically in over these 18 crazy months. Still, it is my fervent belief that we in track and field will be stronger and our athletes will be better. I pray that the Lord will bless this organization and that HE will grant them continued success abundantly.
To all of our Bahamian athletes and to the leaders of this organization, I say “yours is the earth and all that is in it…” On this monumental occasion, I say do well my friends.

ASSOCIATION OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS (BAAA)
PASSING THE BATON
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE
by Renaldo Dorsett Sports Reporter The Tribune
Avision that began with a single athlete and a dedicated support system has continued its exponential growth for two decadesproducing elite athletes and improving the lives of the student athletes and families that join its programme.
The Star Trackers Track & Field Club has matured from those humble beginnings to become one of the leading youth development organizations in the Bahamas, synonymous with excellence in the sport and guiding its student athletes toward the path of enrichment as a well-rounded member of society.
Club founder, David Charlton, nationally renowned for his storied history in the sport, has overseen the club’s expansion for over 20 years, which now includes a full staff of coaches and more than 30 athletes.
Charlton’s accomplishments as a competitor in the sport includes 11 CARIFTA Games medals and a CARIFTA Games record in the 400mH which stood for 10 years. He was also a former Jr. National record holder in the 400mH for 26 years (1981-2007), a NCAA record holder and All-American and CAC Games, Commonwealth Games and the World Championship Games competitor.
Coach Charlton has an IAAF Coaches Certification and Diploma up to Level V in sprints, hurdles, and relays. As a head coach he led the 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 CARIFTA Games Teams. He was also the 2003 Coordinator for the National Jr. Track & Field Programme and a coach on the 2003, 2007 and 2011 World Youth Championship Teams in Canada, Czech Republic, and Lille France,
respectively. He also coached the 2004, 2006 and 2008 World Junior Championship Teams in Grosseto, Italy; Beijing, China; and Bydgoszcz Poland, respectively. He also served as the Men’s Coach of the 2012 Bahamas Olympic Team and the Gold medal winning Men’s 4x400 relay team.
The club’s strong support system, backed by its parents, led to the expansion of the coaching staff as they found new ways to serve as mentors, counselors, and positive role models for the athletes.
Charlton is assisted by Coach Rudolph Ferguson (IAAF Level IV Certified) and Coach Luther Rolle (IAAF Level I Certified). “We came together just by chance. Coach Rudolph Ferguson, his son was one of our first team members and he got involved as a parent. I suggested to him that he consider coaching, and he started working with me. Now he is a certified coach, he has traveled on a numerous national teams.This all came about because he took an interest in his kids and then he grew to love and understand the art of coaching,” Charlton said, “Coach Luther Rolle, his son and daughter were both members of our club and ended up getting full athletic scholarships to go off to college and his way of giving back and appreciating what we did, was to join the club and concentrate his work on the primary school kids. We also have coach Myriam Stapleton whose daughter trains with us and she is currently working on her certification. She is giving back to the programme by helping other kids. Trevor Mackey, who is also a former athlete of the club and Olympian, is now back contributing to the continuity of the programme as a sprints coach. The coaching team is blessed to also have Claudlyn Clarke, another former club member to be giving back to the programme as a long sprints coach. So, it is just a group of men and women who have decided to give back and help the community by developing our kids. We have produced world class athletes, doctors, lawyers, teachers, immigration officers, customs officers, accountants. So, we’re really as an organization giving back to our country.”
The club’s expansion has aligned with its mission statement.
“Parents’ involvement is key to our success,” Charlton said, “We call it a tripartite approach, parent - athlete - coach - like school. Certainly, that has been a major part of our organization and that is one of the reasons why our parents assist.
Star Trackers officially became a member of the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) in 2001. The Club is a specialty club with specialized training for sprints and hurdles.
Ferguson added that the addition of new coaches continues to build upon the foundation lit two decades ago. “We took on some of the new coaches who we were mentoring and training in the coaching fraternity and we have all been very cohesive. We love what we do, it is all about training the next generation, mentoring the next generation, and building boys and girls into men and women. Coming together and staying together for this staff was easy and now we just continue to pull together and work together as a team for the younger generation of coaches and athletes,” Ferguson said,
“Comparing the club, in its early days to now after so much success, it is about seasons and generations. What we always saw with parents’ involvement, that has continued today. The discipline, the hunger and desire of those involved in the tripartite approach into our coaching philosophy, when you have those three factors working together, it’s almost always a good recipe for success.”
Club members are perennial members of national teams whether on the local scene at club meets for the Kids Athletics segment of the club, or regionally and internationally at both the youth and senior level. Most notably, Stephen Newbold was The World Youth Champion in 2011 in the 200m and held the Carifta Record in the 400mH. Devynne Charlton, a two-time Olympic Qualifier, became the National Record Holder in the 100mH (12.61 secs) ahead of her Olympic debut in Tokyo 2021. Carmiesha Cox was a member of the 2016 Olympic Team.
“Comparing the club, in its early days to now after so much success, it’s about seasons and generations. What we always saw with parents’ involvement, that has continued today. The discipline, the hunger and desire of those involved in the tripartite approach
into our coaching philosophy, when you have those three factors working together, always a good recipe for success,” Ferguson said, “The Star Trackers organization has made a tremendous contribution to the national development of sports in the country by the very fact that a lot of them have gone to the very highest level of the sport of track and field. We have had club members participate in the Olympics, World Championships and elite meets at every level.”
After 2 years of competing on the BAAA circuit, the club transitioned to hosting its own meet with the Star Performers Classic.
“We saw the need for a better execution of competition and since then we have been the leaders in producing meets. I learned a whole lot from the late Livingston Bostwick who was the top meet director in the country. I was also the meet director for the first two editions of the IAAF World Relays, where I was able to learn even more,” Charlton said, “So we’ve been able to pull off some the meets that are full of excitement that runs on time, finishes on time and it’s been well received by the local clubs and coaches.”
In 2021, the club will host the 18th edition of the Star Performers Track & Field Classic.
“It is meaningful for us to be able to pull this year’s meet off under these current conditions.The coaches and the athletes have been very cooperative, parents from other clubs volunteering, so it has been a neighborhood effort. We normally staged this event in February and now we are in May, so we are asking more of our parents, more of our volunteers and more of the BACO officials. The fact that so far we’ve had so many successful track events this year, that means a lot for the track community.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has hindered sport globally and youth athletics in the region has been among the list of casualties with the cancellation of the CARIFTA Games in both 2020 and 2021.
“The athletes are very resilient.They love to compete
and in order to compete at their best, you have to train, that’s what we feed to the athletes and they have accepted the challenge. The fact that there is no CARIFTA this year is most disappointing to several our athletes who were really looking forward to making this year’s team. We have a number of kids in their first year of the U17 category and they met the qualifying standards, so you know there is disappointment. We hope they can build off it, look forward to next year, put in the work now so they can benefit from it next year. So, it’s important that kids are able to see that there is some light at the end of this dark tunnel and this present situation is totally out of their control. They must be able to move on, move past this and be prepared for better things to come,” Charlton said, “One of the things that we were hoping for is that we can again have some major performances by our young kids. A lot of college coaches look at CARIFTA to recruit but now that that is not an option, hopefully, athletes can now lay down some quality performances that can get the attention of collage coaches. “Ultimately we want them to earn scholarships, help them to develop as young men and women so that they can come back and again help this country to be a better country.”

STAR TRACKERS ON 20 YEARS OF ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE
VISION STATEMENT
“To provide optimum physical training and discipline while enhancing character, leadership, and wholesome living among our athletes, by a team of qualified, dedicated, passionate coaches, assisted by committed, caring parents working in tandem, striving to promote excellence in the sport of track & field within the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.”
MISSION STATEMENT

Its trifold (athletes, coaches, parents) formula for success will be utilized to foster and promote high academic standards and athleticism while cultivating productive citizens in the young people it trains, mentors and influence both on and off the track.
OUR SUCCESSES 2019-2020
Star Trackers started the year with over 60 athletes excited and ready to take on the new season. The training was going extremely well with athletes maintaining fitness in preparation for the competition season. We were able to participate in a few meets then the world was hit with the devastating pandemic: COVID-19 Virus! It brought a screeching halt to the entire athletic calendar.
Before the unexpected closure of the season our athletes were recording personal best marks and were on a trajectory to even bigger and better performances. In February 2020, three of our senior female athletes; Lyric Brennen, Anthaya Charlton and Robynn Rolle-Curry, along with Coach Charlton, travelled to participate in the University of Kentucky (UK) Indoor High School Invitational. This was the first time they would be competing at an indoor meet, so they were excited but also a little nervous.
Anthaya ran a personal best time in the 60m to win the event in a time of 7.41s. She placed second in the long jump with a leap of 5.79m. Robyn clocked a personal best time of 57.32s in the 400m for 10th overall and Lyric ran a personal best time of 9.98 in the 60m hurdles.
Our athletes were extremely competitive in the high school championships (GSSSA and BAISS) and were only in the first day, first event of the National High School Championships when the plug was pulled. Everyone was extremely disappointed to say the least and was optimistic that the season would continue, but that would not happen, everything was CANCELLED.
There was as a glimmer of light at the end of that dark tunnel when three (3) of our studentathletes were awarded full athletic scholarships to universities in the United States. Lyric Brennen
signed with Minnesota State University at Mankato (MNSU), Jaida Knowles signed with University of Kentucky (UK) and Robyn Rolle-Curry signed with Minnesota State University at Moorhead (MSUM). They were 2020 graduates of Queen’s College, St. Augustine’s College and Kingsway Academy, respectively.
Devynne Charlton, a Tracker Alum, qualified for the Indoor World Championships in the 60m hurdles and was preparing to do the same for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games but the both would be cancelled. Even though the season did not go as planned, we were thankful that all the athletes, parents and coaches remained safe and anxiously awaited the start of the 2020-2021 track season.
TOKYO THE JOURNEY TO
THERE ARE NOW EIGHT BAHAMIAN QUALIFIERS FOR THE OLYMPICS
As it gets nearer and nearer to the Tokyo Olympic Games, uncertainty remains because of COVID-19, but the list of Bahamian qualifiers is growing!
Brianne Bethel, the 22-year-old Grand Bahamian, became the latest Bahamian athlete to book her ticket for the games, clocking a personal best time of 22.54 seconds for the women’s 200 meters (m) title at the 2021 American Athletic Conference (AAC) Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Tampa, Florida, this past Sunday. That time has her tied for eighth on the world’s top performance list for 2021.
Bethel has matured as a sprinter in recent times, running faster than she ever has in her life. She has switched her focus from the short sprints to the long sprints, and it is paying dividends for her. Bethel also ran a personal best time in the 400m over the weekend, winning the AAC title in that event as well, clocking 51.77 seconds. She is just four tenths of a second off the Olympic qualifying mark in that event.
Shaunae Miller-Uibo, 27, continues to be the gold standard for Bahamian female sprinting, clocking Olympic qualifying times in the women’s 100, 200 and 400m events over the past three seasons.

Last season, Miller-Uibo showed tremendous versatility, moving down to the 100 and qualifying for the Olympics in that event with a run of 10.98 seconds at the Back to the Track Classic in Clermont, Florida. In posting the stunning time, she became the sixth Bahamian to ever run under 11 seconds in the women’s 100m, and the fourth athlete worldwide to ever go sub-49 in the women’s 400, sub22 in the women’s 200 and sub-11 in the women’s 100 in the history of athletics.
Miller-Uibo is the world leader in the women’s 200 and 400m this season, running times of 22.03 seconds in the 200m at the Pure Athletics Spring Invitational in Clermont, and 49.08 seconds in the 400m at the USATF (USA Track & Field) Grand Prix Meet at Hayward Field, in Eugene, Oregon, both in April.
The Bahamas’ Olympic Champion in the women’s 400m already said she’ll opt out of defending her Olympic title in that event in Tokyo in favor of going after the 200m title. The rapidly approaching OIympics is set for July 23 to August 8, in Tokyo, Japan.
Tynia Gaither is the only other Bahamian woman who has qualified for the Olympics in two eventsmaking the mark in the 100 and 200m.
Gaither qualified in both events early in the qualifying period, in 2019, but this season has really come into her own in the shorter race. Gaither, 28, ran a huge personal best time of 11.02 seconds in the women’s
100m at the TRUFit Athletics Sprint Classic in Miami, Florida, last month.That time has her listed in a threeway tie for eighth on the world’s top performance list for 2021 and puts her on the verge of going sub-11.
Over the years, Gaither has experienced more success in the 200m, making the world championships final in 2017 in London, England, and again in 2019 in Doha, Qatar. She has a personal best time of 22.54 seconds in the 200m, but initially qualified for the Olympics with a time of 22.69 seconds at the Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern in Lucerne, Switzerland, in July of 2019. Her fastest time since then is 22.57 seconds, done twice at the Doha World Championships in 2019.
For the first time ever, The Bahamas has two athletes qualified in a hurdles event at the Olympics. They are Pedrya Seymour and Devynne Charlton and both have met the mark in the women’s 100m hurdles.
Seymour, 25, qualified early in the qualifying period, running a trio of times 12.84 seconds or faster in 2019. She initially qualified for the Olympics at the 2019 Nanjing World Challenge in Nanjing, China, in May of 2019, running 12.83 seconds. Later that season, Seymour clocked 12.78 and 12.84 seconds to validate the Nanjing performance. Seymour has a season’s best of 12.88 seconds this year.
Back to 100 percent after battling injuries, Charlton, 25, is running faster than she ever has in her career. She is having a fantastic season, producing a series of sub13 second runs in the women’s 100m hurdles. In fact, Charlton has gone under 13 seconds in each of her last eight runs in the women’s 100m hurdles, and has matched or dipped below the Olympic qualifying standard of 12.84 seconds in five of those runs. That sequence was highlighted by a stunning national record setting run of 12.61 seconds at the USATF Golden Games in Walnut, California, earlier this month.
That blazing time in Walnut represented the first time Charlton ran in the 12.6 range, and she broke Seymour’s national record of 12.64 seconds, that was done for sixth at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016, in the process.
Charlton and Seymour are seventh and tied for 24th respectively
on the world’s top performance list for 2021.
Steven Gardiner, The Bahamas’ only World Champion in the list of qualifiers, has met the mark in both the men’s 200 and 400m.
Like Miller-Uibo on the women’s side, Gardiner is the gold standard for the sprints on the men’s side. He has developed into one of the world’s best runners over the half lap and full lap events.
As a result of a conflicting schedule, Miller-Uibo likely won’t contest both the 200 and 400m at the Tokyo Olympics, but Gardiner doesn’t have that issue. He could run on separate days over the two events for five straight days and contest both finals on back-to-back days if
At his best, Gardiner, 25, is comfortably under 20 seconds in the men’s 200m and under 44 seconds in the men’s 400m. He qualified in the 200m with a time of 19.96 seconds at the Back to the Track Meet in Clermont, last summer, and has matched or gone under the qualifying time of 20.24 seconds twice more since. In the 400m, Gardiner showed what he could do with that blazing time of 43.48 seconds for the gold at the Doha World Championships in 2019, becoming the sixth-fastest in the history of that event. Almost every time he
steps on the track in a 400m competition, he goes under the Olympic qualifying time of 44.90 seconds.
Gardiner has season’s best times of 20.24 seconds in the 200m and 44.71 seconds in the 400m, but has run just one race in each event this season. Over the past three years, he has dipped below 20 seconds in the men’s 200m twice, and under 44 seconds in the men’s 400m four times.
Samson Colebrooke is The Bahamas’ lone qualifier for the Olympics in the men’s century. He qualified with a blazing run of 10.01 seconds at the NACAC (North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association) U18 (Under-18) and U23 (Under-23) Championships in Queretaro, Mexico, in the summer of 2019, picking up the silver medal in that event. With that run, Colebrooke became the second-fastest Bahamian ever, trailing just national record holder and former World silver medalist Derrick Atkins (9.91).
Colebrooke, 24, is looking to return to that form and get even faster for the Tokyo Olympics. He didn’t run competitively in 2020, and has a modest season’s best of 10.30 seconds this year. Colebrooke is still looking to qualify for the Olympics in the 200m, running a personal best time of 20.46 seconds during
the qualifying period. As mentioned, the Olympic qualifying time for the men’s 200m is 20.24 seconds.
Finally, the only Bahamian to qualify in any field event for the Olympics so far is Jamal Wilson in the men’s high jump.
Wilson cleared a height of 2.33m (7’ 7-3/4”) to match the Olympic qualifying height at the Banskobystrická latka Indoor Meet in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, in February of last year. He is yet to match that height outdoors, but has cleared 2.30m (7’ 6-1/2”) outdoors during the qualifying period.
Wilson has cleared 2.30m or higher four times in his career indoors and three more times outdoors. This year, he has a modest season’s best of just 2.15m (7’ 0-1/2”) indoors and the same height outdoors.
At 32, Wilson is the oldest Bahamian athlete to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics thus far. He is now a two-time Olympian, finishing in a three-way tie for 25th overall in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and has represented The Bahamas twice at the world indoor championships, in 2016 and again in 2018.
The qualifying deadline for the Tokyo Olympic Games is June 29, 2021.

STRAIGHT TALK!
Why Glutamine Is Important For Posture
Dr. Kelly Kramp B.Sc.(H.K)D.C.; ROHP
///////////////////////////////////
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. It is very effective in improving intestinal and immune system function, as these cells use glutamine as the preferred fuel source rather than glucose.
GLU TAM
Glutamine is utilised at a high rate by cells of the immune system. Plasma and skeletal muscle glutamine levels are lowered in athletes, especially in athletes that do many hard workouts or from high mental/ emotional stress. The lowered plasma glutamine properties are most likely the result of demand for glutamine by organs such as the liver and kidneys and also glutamine needed by the gut and immune system, exceeding the supply from the diet and muscles. Studies have shown that adding glutamine in the diet improves the response to a bacterial or viral challenge or stress. Adding additional glutamine like this has been seen to stimulate the immune system.
Glutamine actually supplies 35% of nitrogen to muscle to synthesise proteins. This, in turn, will promote protein synthesis. Why is this important? Well, the benefits of maintaining a high nitrogen balance in
the muscle prevents muscle breakdown, therefore retaining more muscle. This equates to a leaner you! A leaner you means you have less body fat, so, in essence, glutamine may help with the reduction of overall body fat while increasing lean body muscle tissue.
Glutamine has several functions other functions: aids in insulin secretion, aids in faster athletic recovery after hard workouts, and is a crucial component of Glutathione (the body’s strongest and most abundant antioxidant).
Glutamine supplementation: 1,000 mg/day is the daily appropriate amount with it being increased up to 4,000 mg/day on days of hard workouts and 2,000mg/day on days of moderate workouts. It is sold as an isolated amino acid as well as being found in high levels in dietary meats and eggs. It is found in very high levels in both whey and casein protein.
POSTURE
Throughout life, we have heard many times over that we should have good posture. The way we stand, sit, and hold our body structure every day ends up determining what stresses are placed on our bodies, especially our spines.
We know that abnormal postural habits lead to improper spinal and body function. It can lead to subluxations in our spine, a compromised chest cavity, abnormal growth patterns, shoulder problems, hip problems, improper bowel function, jaw pain, limited range of motion, and much more.
The reasons for poor posture are: spinal misalignment, weak muscles, foot problems, improper nutrition, and excessive weight, all of which can be changed with a natural health approach. Your nervous system subconsciously controls how you hold yourself. When your nervous system malfunctions, muscles in your body become affected. It deflates your oxygen supply, ultimately affecting all the supporting structures of your body and eventually leading to further health problems. One of the most common examples of this is scoliosis in children.
Some methods you can use to test posture in your family and friends are:
1. look at how someone walks and see if one foot is turned out or in slightly when they walk. This usually signifies abnormal function in the hip or spinal regions.
2. Use imaginary horizontal lines through three different areas, the bottom of the ears, the top of the shoulders, and the bony top of the pelvis. If they are not exactly horizontal it signifies abnormal spinal function and a need for a chiropractic spinal check-up.
With good posture, you stand tall, you walk tall, and you look good and feel good. You have better balance and control, your body will work more efficiently overall and you will have a better outlook on life.

The power of Persistence
He is not your traditional sprinter or hurdler that the Star Trackers are renowned for. Instead, Reanno Todd is holding his own as one the rising young long jumpers in the country.
The 15-year-old 10th grader at C.R. Walker Secondary High, is undefeated so far this year in the under-17 boys division as he carries the Star Trackers banner with distinction.
“He has been with us for quite some time, but over the course of the year or year and a half, we’ve really seen him grow up to become a young man,” said David Charlton, the founder, and head coach of the Star Trackers Track Club.
“He’s now a leader in our organization. He leads a lot of practice sessions. His maturity has really improved, as well as his attitude and work ethics. He is very coachable. He is a late bloomer, but I think he has the ability to go extremely far.”
Standing tall at 6-feet, Todd continues to make huge strides, soaring to a personal best of 20-feet, 7 3/4-inches or 6.29 metres, but he would be the first to admit that from where he came from, nobody would have expected to see him achieve what he has done so far.
“I’m just proud of what I’ve done,” said
Todd, who is also looking forward to adding the triple jump to his repertoire.
“In the future, I would love to go to a division one school and continue my track career.”
Whether he succeeds or not, Todd said he is also looking forward to making a name for himself as a budding artistic artist, noting that “I really love to draw artistic things.” Pressed a bit further, he indicated because he is a “good one (artist) too.”
Todd, however, said he feels he is in the right element competing in track and field because the coaches in Star Trackers never gave up on him. He noted that they encourage him every day to put his best foot forward. “They have helped me to get to where I am today,” he stressed.
He thanked God for giving him the ability to compete, his mother, whom he labels as his number one supporter and the coaches who work with him daily.
While he works specifically under the supervision of Star Trackers’ assistant coach Rudolph Ferguson, Todd gets his pointers in the pit from Coach James Rolle, the head coach of Leap of Faith Jumpers Club.
Nobody is prouder of his accomplishments than his mother, Xaviera Roach, a former all-around sportswoman as a student of H.O. Nash School.
“When he started out as a sprinter, I was a little hopeful,” she said. “I had it naturally when I competed, but he had to work for it. So, I tried to encourage him to try the long jump or to play basketball.
“Every time I tried to talk him out of it, he used to tell me, ‘Mommy, did you see how my form was getting better?’ He was not listening to my negative thoughts.
“So, to see where he has come from to where he is now, I am so proud of him. I am so happy for him because he is so happy with his success. He has improved so much. I’m very proud.”
Today, Todd is one of the star athletes for the Star Trackers Track Club, headed by the husband/wife team of David and Laura Charlton.
