Spring, TX, Sunday, April 24, 2011. The Texas Stallions were involved in their first meets of the Season—the Primary Championships, Visions, and Houston Heat track meets this month. Though the Stallions season is starting later than most, their start shows a lot of promise for the coming months.

 The Stallions opened up the Season with the Primary Championships with one of its returning members Nzinga Williams and a new member but already and experienced runner at 8 years of age, Lauren Robertson, taking away Top 3 finishes in all of their events. Nzinga took the Gold in the 100m, the silver in the Long Jump and a Bronze in the 400m. While Lauren took the Gold in the 400m, the Bronze in the 100m, and  silver in the 200m. Even our newest Primary Lady Stallion came away with a 5^th place finish in the 400m, Miss Taejha Badal.

 

In our second meet of the season, we attended the 2011 Annual Visions Track Club Track and Field Meet, where the Midget Boys 4 x 800 meter relay (Martinez, Joseph, Robertson, Troy, Hinote, John, and Goodman, Gabe) showed promise on their 1^st outing bringing home a 3^rd place finish.  The good times continued to roll for the guys as Troy Robertson won the Midget Boys 200m, Jacob Martinez won the Sub-Youth boys 1500m and Long Jump, and Oliver Scheerhorn won the Sub-Midget Boys Shot Put. Joseph Wiltz finished second in the Sub-Youth Boys Shot Put and Gabe Goodman finished 2^nd in the Sub-Midget Boys 1500m their 1^st time out, and returning runner Brendan Hurley finished 3^rd in the 1500m. Our fourth place finishers were Troy Robertson Midget Boys 400m, and Joseph Martinez Sub-Midget Boys 1500m. Our fifth place finishers were Jacob Martinez in the Sub-Youth Boys 400m, and John Hinote in the Sub-Midget Boys 400m. Rounding out the top finishers are Joshua Martinez in the Sub-Midget Boys 1500m and Brendan Hurley in the Sub-Midget Boys 800m with 6^th place finishes.
