HIllhouse Track to National Championships

(PICTURED ABOVE THE INDOOR NATIONAL COMPETITORS)
The Hillhouse Boys and Girls track teams are in need of your help.
WHY?  We are trying to raise funds for 9 of our star student-athletes that have qualified for the New Balance High School National Championships at UPENN from June 15 - to June 19 in beautiful downtown Philadelphia.
 

BACKGROUND: The Hillhouse Track Teams have a proud history of winning state championships every year since 1992 with the exception of 2008. The biggest accomplishment the team has achieved is having numerous numbers of our student-athletes attend and graduate from various colleges through sport and academics! Yale, Georgetown, Brown, UPENN, University of Florida, The Ohio State, Clemson University, and the University of Indiana to name a few of the colleges and universities our kids have attended.

 

This year thankfully the New Balance High School Outdoor Track Championships will be held at UPENN located

The following athletes have made the qualifying standard to compete in the following events

12 Gary Moore Jr - Championship Shot Put, Discus, & Hammer

12 Ralph Hawkins - Championship 100m, Championship 200m
12 Olivia O’Connor - Championship Hammer, Discus
12 Matt Gibbs - 400 Ih Hurdles
12 Zyair Wali - Rising Stars Triple & High Jumps

11 Chakour Biao - Rising Star Hammer
10 Leonaya Knox Rising Stars 100 hh

10 Shalisha Robertson - Championship Hammer, Rising Stars Long Jump

9 Delan Relerford - Freshmen Long Jump, Freshman 100m
9 Nysir Harris - Freshmen 100m

 

One of my priorities as a coach has and will always be to provide the kids of New Haven the chance to experience going to places outside of the city and expose them to things they may not have ever gotten a chance to experience. In the past student-athletes have gone to Texas, Illinois, Ohio, South Carolina, Florida, South Carolina, Iowa, and North Carolina to name a few places they have been able to compete and do well but most importantly those opportunities have enabled them to receive scholarships to some of the most prestigious schools in the country. We need help with entry fees, lodging, food & transportation. After sitting down and calculating the costs it will need about $5,000. Anything you can do will help us out tremendously.

 

Thank You for your support!
