Speed racers

FPR SPEED Youth Track Team athletes are all smiles (pictured) after a great day competing in the USATF (USA Track and Field) Gulf Association Regional Championship. Mitchell Harper, Liam Amling, Jackson Potter and Emanuel Galdino (front, from left) comprise a 4-by-800-meter relay team, and they are the eighth-place regional finalists in the state. Paris Strange (on right) is also a relay racer, and her 4-by-100-meter team finished sixth in the state. Kamal Jalal (back row) is the eighth-place regional finalist in the 3,000-meter race. FPR SPEED just began a new season, and coach Brandon Stribling is looking forward to another successful year.
