USATF Track and Field Indoor Championships, held March 9-10 in Landover, MD, marked the official end of i5 ELITE’s indoor season. 40 athletes competed in the event and earned 32 Medals, 5 National Titles, and broke 5 National Records.
The team had already celebrated their successes a week earlier at Applebee’s Restaurant. Athletes, coaches, family, and friends enjoyed a pancake breakfast in appreciation of the hard work, and commitment demonstrated throughout the season. All athletes were all awarded trophies for their on the field performance, and many also received i5 ELITE wristbands for their performance in the classroom. 48 athletes earned honor roll — 10 of whom earned straight As in the 2nd quarter.
The team will now focus on preparing for the outdoor season that kicks off on March 25th and runs through the first week in August. To those athletes moving on, we hope that you enjoyed the season and learned valuable skills that you will take with you. To those athletes who are continuing with us, we look forward to seeing you “impact the track” throughout the summer!
