John-Lee, MNTC’s youngest member at age seven, made a big splash at the Junior Olympics in Nashville. Competing in his first ever track meet, John-Lee won Gold in the 8 and Under 200-meter dash and Bronze in the 100. Congratulations, John-Lee, and welcome to the wonderful world of track and field!

Up at Icahn Stadium in the Big Apple, 29 MNTC athletes participated in the Junior Olympics and 23 qualified for the Junior Olympic Regionals next month in Craryville, New York. Over the course of the two-day competition our MNTC athletes set nine new club records and our 17-18 Boys and Girls won the Combined Team Trophy, besting twenty-five other clubs. New records were established in the Boys’ 100, 200, 800, 4×100 relay, steeplechase, high jump, long jump, and discus, and the Girls’ long jump. During the Indoor season our squad racked up an impressive total of new team records, 20 to be exact! The Girls posted new marks in the 1000, 1500, Mile, 3000, 4×200 relay, 4×400 relay, sprint medley relay, and the long jump. The Boys contributed new standards in the 55, 60, 200, 400, 800, 3000, 4×200 relay, 4×400 relay, sprint medley relay, long jump, and high jump.
