Congratulations to Kyle for winning not one, but two national titles at the recent Masters National Track and Field Championships. We at TEAM ARUBA are very proud to be affiliated with such a great athlete. Here is Kyle's report..
At the Masters National Track and Field Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii (8/4-7/05). I won two national titles (800m - 2:03.44 and 1500m - 4:14.47, 30 to 34 age group) and 4th place finish in the 400m (53.92, 30 to 34 age group). I'm happy with the results and I was able to defend my 1500m title and earn A ll - American status in the event also. I scored 19 pts for my club (Pike Valley Creek) in the championships. Once again I want to thank everyone for their support and my next race is a regional track (Potomac Valley Track and Field Games in Langley, Va). Where I will be competing in the 800m and try and break the age group record (30 to 34 - 1:59).
At the Potomac Valley Games (9/3 and 4/05) in Langley, Va. I (Kyle)
competed in the 800m and won overall but missed out on the meet record for
30 to 34 age group. I ran 2:03.10 and my next race is 9/24 in Georgetown,
De (Stockley Stride 5k). Where I hold the current course record there since
1999.
