VTC closes out
indoor season on
a high note
BRONX TIMES REPORTER, MARCH 2 BTR 9-APRIL 4, 2019 81
COACH WINSTON DINKINS
Velocity Track Club New
York closed out the indoor
season on a high note when
we competed in the USATF
Hershey Indoor National
Championship at the Ocean
Breeze Recreation Facility
in Staten Island, NY
on Friday March 15 – Sunday
March 17. Teams from
across the country attended
this meet. The atmosphere
was intense, with coaches
pulling their athletes aside
giving them last minute instructions.
Velocity’s athletes
even made up a chant.
“Who are we! VTC”. You
could see that when our
athletes heard this chant it
helped to motivated them
even more. Medals were
given to the top six athletes
or relay teams. As a team,
Velocity took home 25 medals,
(one gold, three silver,
eleven bronze, six 4th place,
one 5th place and three 6th
place medals). This was an
outstanding accomplishment
to close out the indoor
season.
After the three day meet,
VTC was Blessed with one
National Champion; Cameron
Joseph in the 8 & under
55-meter dash. We have 13
student athletes who earned

and Savannah Minter, 5th
place medal in the Long
Jump. Shyenne Blake, Hannah

4x200 meter relay. This was
the most exciting race for
the meet. All three finishers

55-meter dash and 4th place
medal in the 200- & 400-meters
races. Hannah Deflorimonte,
