Coach William Valerie knew he had a very good Intermediate Girls team ages 15-16, but he didn’t know to what extent. At the AAU National Junior Olympic Games in New Orleans LA, his relay teams showed that there was no limit to their determination as they won the 4×100 meter and the 4×400 meter relay races. The 4×400 meter relay team of Rushell Harvey, Alaysha Johnson, Zarriea Willis and Mahasin Ahmad won in a time of 3:45.05 which was their best time of the year. In the 4×100 meter relay race, the team of Tarameshia Gordon, Rushell Harvey, Alaysha Johnson and Zarriea Willis was in a battle to the end, but it was heart and determination that prevailed with their first place win.
One week earlier the Intermediate Girls won the 4×100 meter and 4×400 meter relay races at the USATF National Junior Olympics in Wichita, KS. No other track club has won these 2 relays in both AAU and USATF National Junior Olympics in the same year in one division. In conclusion to a great season, the Track Houston Intermediate Girls 4×100 and 4×400 meter relay teams are ranked No. 1 in the country. Several of these girls will be returning to the Intermediate Girls division next year, so stay tuned for even better results in 2012.
