I am a FINALIST at the 43rd Colgate Women's Games and
I am so proud to be the company of hundreds of national champions and
these six Phyllis Francis, Natasha Hastings, Deajah Stevens, Delilah Muhammed, Nia
Ali, and Ajee Wilson who competed at the Rio
Games in 2016 and Colgate Games Director, Cheryl Toussaint who is a Silver
Medalist from the 1972 Olympic Games.
Colgate Women's games has been around for 43 years and it is well respected in the track world, girls from age 7-adult participate and these are some of the fastest runners on the East Coast. The Colgate Games are about the
importance of continuing education and gaining self-esteem in an atmosphere of
friendly competition.
I had a challenging race on Saturday, but my accumulation of
points from competing for the previous 4 weeks qualified me to compete in the
Finals. I wear this tracksuit with pride because it took hard work to earn the right to wear it, so I wear it with pride.
I am extremely excited about this accomplishment, it will be
a day I will NEVER forget, because it was one of my worst days but also one of
my best days. It will define me as a runner moving forward I am sure.
FINALS: February 18th at the Armory in Manhattan on 169th
Street.
