Our Banquet marks the end of a season, but the start of a promising 2009 year in Athletics (Track & Field).

We have many appreciative gifts for our athletes, and after we eat more than we should (Diet Day Off - somewhat) at the best training grounds to direct, focus and develop athletes mentally, emotional, and physically: S. C. Lee Junior High School's Hanke Stadium. We shall bestowed honor to our Athletes, Coaches, Volunteers and acknowledge many parents for their support. Remember, bread is the enemy; fried foods clog arteries and degrade performances!

Our athletes soar to new heights and records while jumping.

Flexibility is paramount for high performance and muscle growth.

Our approach to training is more scientific than muscle

HARD WORK beats TALENT when TALENT doesn’t WORK HARD.

Parents you are welcome, we even have a Lane 9 plan for you, whether walking or running.

The distance runner shall never rely upon other to get motivated; a lonely; yet confident runner shall emerge.

Jack Rabbits Takes Golds and Set Records At AAU National Junior Olympic Games

Central Texas Five Hills Track & Field Club

Yielded Golden – World Leading and Record Breaking Performances

The Five Hills Track & Field Club journeyed on down to the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee to take on the nation’s best youth at the Amateur Athletic Union’s Junior Olympic Games.  Mike Black Berry of the Knoxville News called Robert Griffin III the “Texas Phenom” adding interest and high expectation to the Five Hills athlete first race. There were in excess of 14,000 athletes competing in these games from basketball, tumbling to track and field which had 8,600 athletes ready to challenge for supremacy in their discipline. Right out of the block was Troy Vital and Robert Griffin competing on Monday July 30, 2007 in the Young Men 400m Intermediate Hurdles.

These emerging Bulldawgs maintained their ranking through the prelims of 1st Griffin (50.07), 3rd Vital (53.80) with Cove’s Quarterback Griffin breaking a 20 year old record of 50.97 set in 1987 by Austin, Texas native Ralph Carrington. 

The following day Griffin III set his sights on fighting all comers who knew he was the U.S. #1 High School 110m Hurdler. He provided a strong clean and technical race yielding 13.77 for his efforts going into the finals in the #1 position.  Wednesday, August 1, 2007 Young Men 400m hurdles finals was the race that many around the country awaited from Summer Track Programs to NCCAA  coaches, and elite professional 400m hurdles whose Griffin III myspace.com is clogged with encouragement and pleads to leave their best performances sacred. Griffin got out quick and progressively became a lone hurdler entering the second turn in pursuit of Gold. Moore and Vital (Cove’s Ultimate Running Back) gave chase, but Griffin III was nearly 30 meters ahead as he charged to a new AAU national record of 49.56, 2007 World Juniors (16 to 21 years of age) and US #1 ranking; and US #2 all time performance.

Troy Vital’s 52.11 performances in the 400m Hurdles was absolutely outstanding and can not be overlooked. He is #3 in AAU and US #7 amongst all high school athletes in the 400m Hurdles.  He was the only hurdler in the finals who did not have extensive sprint hurdling experience. He has only been running the intermediate hurdles since 2006, and only Griffin III (17) and Silver Medalist Moore (nearly 19) ran faster in AAU. Troy is 16 and turns 17 on August 24th 

Thursday, August 2, 2007 crowded the fence line to witness the hype in the Young Men’s 110m High Hurdles. The Defending Champion Charlton Rowe of North Carolina qualifies with the second fastest time of 14.18 in the prelims. Griffin III felt his #1 ranking did not provide him the edge; it was his performance in the 2006 Intermediate 110H finals; a race before Rowe won the 2006 Young Men’s title.  In 2006 Griffin III ran 13.88 to capture Gold in the Intermediate Division under Rowe’s Young Men Division who ran 14.03 for his Gold.  In the end; it was Griffin III ranking which he scorched the field hurdling away from the field with the wind in his face at 13.46 and Rowe followed at second with 13.82 for the Silver Medal. 

Friday, August 3, 2007 brought out two Five Hills Heavy weights in the Bantam Boys Long Jump and Midget Girls Discus Throw. Chamaya “Quite Thunder” Turner is truly Queen of the Throws as she launched a personal best throw of 111’ 1” to win Gold.  She began to gain great confidence that she could exceed the century mark. Her practices were strong and determine. She came in ranked #1 with a best throw of 97 feet. Chamaya nearest competitor threw Regier Brooke of 91’11” for a Silver Medal.  The Five Hills Throwing Guru, Coach Clyde Turner says, “When we saw the discus take off and her form was under control we knew it was a great throw.”

Steffin McCarter (10) jumped into the records books on his second jump (16’ 8.75”) exceeding the 2003 jump of Deanthony Dupree of Moreno Valley, California mark of 16’ 8.25”. Steffin passed on two jumps and on his 4th and final jump of the competition soared nearly 17 feet.  He was measured at 16’ 10.75” for Gold. Head Coach Griffin intoned, “Steffin took great instructions today.  He did exactly what he was instructed by me and Willie (his Father).”

Chamaya would close out the Five Hills top performances with a monstrous throw of 42’3” in the Midget Girls Shot Put. Again Regier Brooke would settle for a Silver medal with her best effort of 38’ 6”.  Steffin McCarter achieve the third place Bronze Medal in the 100m, and 7th in the 200m Dash final for Bantam Boys. Coach Griffin states, “This was a great educational tool for our athletes.  Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.  Clearly McCarter is talented, but when every 10 year old in the country is gunning for you and coaches are dissecting every aspect of your race; you cannot wish a performance, you must continue to work the way that ascended you on the top.” 

The Five Hills Intermediate Division athletes showed tremendous promise beginning with Intermediate Boy’s Anthony Mackey (Cove’s Offensive lineman) finishing in the top ten and one place out of medal contentions with a 133’ 9” discus throw. He was 9th overall.  Entering the first year of Intermediate eligibility TraOnna Shedrick (14) completed in the Girls Long Jump. She finished 4 in the third flight athletes with a jump of 16’2”. The fourth flight was dominant mostly due to being a year older and experienced in the division. Jenna McArthur finished (15) third in the first of four flights of athletes with a jump of 15’ 3.5.”

Jenna also completed in the Triple Jump earlier in the week.  She finished 35’ 4.25” for an overall 12th finish out of 39 competitors.  Coach Griffin admitted, “Her ailing jumping leg prevented us from allowing her to participate in our consistent jumping routine.  I chose long term health over short term goals.”  Rounding out our first year Intermediate athletes was Brandin Byrd (15: Cove’s Running Back) in the Triple Jump.  He was second in the second flight with a jump of 41.’ 9.25.” His best effort was good for 20th overall. Next year our Intermediate athletes shall be the seasoned group of the Intermediate Division.   

Sub – Youth Girls LeKesha Jelks (13) placed third in the 400m Dash Semi-Finals. She was 12th overall.   Sub Bantam Boy Ra'Shawn Henry (9) placed second of four flights in the second flight with his first jump of the competition which yielded 11’ 6.75”. First year Young Woman Division Thrower Rynae McArthur (16) yield her personal best throw in the Discus event with an 86’ 3”.

“This was the most competitive Junior Olympics I have been associated with in recent years,” intoned Coach Griffin. “Our 92 athletes provided continued race paced intensity during our practices up to us leaving on July 28th.  We shall take a two week break and begin a rigorous off season program for all athletes interested.” For all track and field sports fans interested in re-living our awesome Junior Olympic experience, please go to  http://www.aaujrogames.org/trackfield_playon.php and your Central Texas Athletes and America’s Youth enjoying competitive fun through sports.
