Katai James ..... a.k.a "Baba Louie"

Greater Atlanta Christian School - 6th Grade
Youth Track Experience - 5th year
11 yrs old - Sub-Midget (AAU) / Midget (USATF) Age Division for 2012

Events: 100m, 200m, 400m, Shot Put

 

Personal Bests:

100m = 14.47        2012 SMART Series (#3) Meet

200m = 29.47        2012 AAU Area 8 National Qualifier

400m = 1:06.98     2012 Clayton County Championship

Shot = 28-01.50    2012 AAU Area 8 National Qualifier

 

Katai came off a great season last year as one of the team's most solid performers. As a consistent member on the National Qualifying 4x400m relay, and a consistent sprinter (making the finals at Regionals), he also is one of our most consistent throwers. He also qualified for AAU Nationals in the Shot Put. He is a great athlete. He is even better in football. He has been one of the better players for Shiloh youth, and is now moving to GAC.

 

"Katai is an all-around athlete. I was very impressed with how he came alive on our relay last year. And he has shown a lot of fortitude this year in carving out his spot for this year's relay teams. But I think Katai still has some work to put in for the sprints. I wouldn't count him out of the 100m and 200m events just yet. He still has the talent to run with the best", says Coach Charles.
