Jalen spent his first year in 2011 with Coach Charles becoming one of his front line sprinters. Jalen is a youth football star who was looking to help develop his speed for the football gridiron. But his development and progress has caused him to be bitten by the track bug. Jalen now has a new found passion for track and has the drive to win. He made it all the way to the AAU Regional finals last year in the 100m. This year, he looks to finish the deal.

 

"Jalen was probably our most valuable sprinter last year. His consistency on the backstretch in our 4x100m relay made us a national qualifier contender. We just seemed to catch a lot of bad luck along the way. But this year, he looks very hungry! His spring training is ahead of schedule, and he looks very strong. This year, he's poised to FINISH!", says Coach Charles.
