Fairbanks Youth Development Meet - RESULTS!

We hosted the first Fairbanks Youth Devlopment track meet on Wednesday. It would happen to be the hottest day of the year (82 degrees at 6 PM that evening), but not too bad considering the host sites for the NCAA Regionals this weekend are into the 90s.

Thirty-three young athletes from 12 to 18 years old competed. This was put together in just the last few weeks, so the turn out was about what I expected. Next year we'll get the word out earlier and more often, and we hope to have the middle school program up and running by late April.

West Valley High school was well represented at the meet. Notable performances included a 2:06.5 800 by Kuba Grzeda, who just finished his freshman year, and 8th grader Daniel Remmington ran a 58.5 400. Molly Callahan, 5th in the Alaska State Championships 3200 m last weekend, cruised with 5:20.5 to win in the 1500 m.

The goal of these meets is to provide a fun and low key environment for aspiring young track athletes to test themselves at different events.
