Record Breaking Memorial Day

May 27th, 2012

 

In what has become one of the premier Memorial Day events, the Mark Trail Invitational showcased some of the best talent in the sprint events in the region. In addition, the middle distance events got a big spike this year with some record breaking performances from Premier Athletics. With strong performances across the team, a trophy was in hand by the end of the meet, with our team taking home the Runner-Up (2nd Place) award for the Class B Teams (teams between 25 and 50 athletes). "This was an exciting debut for us in this meet. Very proud of the way we performed", said Coach Charles Muhammad.
