It is a New Day. USATF Nebraska has New Life. If our LDR program teetered on the brink for a couple of years I’m happy to report it is alive, well, and speeding along to a brighter future. What has me so optimistic, even Giddy(up!)? Youth Springs Eternal. And become adults. Before you know it. And it is a particular youth that has my spirits soaring. A wunderkind. A prodigy. A ninja.
Linda and I were honored with the request of working with this young athlete last summer. It became immediately apparent that this was a very special runner. Willing to listen, able to execute.

Biggest Tips to Matt & Kristy, proud parents whose sacrifices and dedication made Madison’s record setting season possible. And to her club, West Omaha Track Club Wolves.
I chronicled the successes of Madison Scott for you last year. She was honored at yesterday’s USATF Nebraska Association Youth Banquet. I’ll let the Association’s accolades speak for themselves.
