Needham Youth Classic 2012 Results(Click on title to see link)-We had a great turnout as 21 CLCF runners travelled up to Defazio Field. We had runners competing in running events as well as many field events. Zoe and Kiki made it to the 100 meter finals as did Steve and Mike. Theo earned first in the 400 meter with an amazing time of 58.7 seconds and Matt L earned first place in the 800 meter with a fantastic time of 2:45. We had a team of athletes who competed in the high jump event, even though they had never been taught on how to jump it. This led to Steve getting a 3rd place finish and Matt L with a 4th place finish. Steve earned Athlete of the Meet for 9-10 year olds through his spectacular showing at the competition. Steve placed first in the 100 meter, 200 meter, 400meter, set a record in the softball toss, obviously earning first place, and coming in second in the standing long jump with a score of 79". In my opinion not only was Steve spectacular,all the athletes ran hard and had great times. Abby ran a 1:15 in the 400 meter while Kiki ran an impressive 1:12 in the same event. Zach L finished 2nd in the 1500 meter with a time of 5:26 and his brother ran a 5:36 in the 11-12 1500.Sophie had a time of 3:07 in the 800 and 6:18 in the 1500 for 11-12. While little Aroa ran the hurdles and the 200 meter and then helped out a couple of girls from another team who needed a fourth runner for their relay, showing great sportsmanship. Her mixed team finished first for their age group. Finally, as a team the CLCF Panthers came in 9th place out of 20 teams for our first Team trophy. A very proud moment for our track club!
About Us:
We are looking forward to soon beginning our 6th season of running this program, which we feel has evolved over the years. We became involved with CLCF track in 2006 when the oldest of our 3 sons was in third grade. We have always encouraged our boys to participate in sports as a way to stay active, learn new skills, meet new people, and accomplish goals. We have also taught them to finish what they start. Our son struggled at the beginning of his first season as he had never run in an organized program before. We were just parents on the sideline who offered words of encouragement and motivation. Within a few weeks, our son began to find his stride literally. During the second year, Frank volunteered as a coach (with no prior experience). By the end of that year, we assumed responsibility for organizing the program. We implemented this website in addition to mail-in registration and email communication in order to be accessible.
