Just Blaze Track Club, How it all BEGAN.
As I was driving home one summer evening, I passed two boys about to race each other. This sight brought back some great memories from my youth. As a troubled kid, I ran track for Flower City, T.C. in Rochester, N.Y. Track kept the kids in my community busy which kept us out of trouble. When we weren’t at track practice, we were racing up and down the street. When a kid won they would say, “I just blazed you.”
That sight and past memories made me realize that Buffalo doesn’t have much to offer kids who just want to run. When I arrived home that evening, I spoke with my kids about creating a track club. They approved. The next day, I began my research to see what needed to be done to make this happen. I was overwhelmed but I accepted the challenge with open arms. In the summer of 2014, Just Blaze Track Club came to be. I put everything into the club to make it the best experience for the kids who joined. I was physically, mentally, and financially exhausted and yet I couldn’t have been happier when I looked at my athletes faces at the end of the 2014 season. To see their pride in finishing the season and to understand they now had knowledge of their own self-worth because of their accomplishments, it was all worth it.
