Running the Distance
Meet a fellow Cheetah, Aidan Allen. He has been
running with Track Houston Katy site since 2013 when he was 8 years old.
Aidan’s mom believes his interest in running began
in PE. He received positive praise from Mrs. Stevens and Miss Brissee. Just
before Aidan’s 8th birthday, his mom emailed Mrs. Stevens to see if she
knew of any track club that would take a kid his age. Aidan’s family wanted to
have him start something outside of school.
The PE Department here at Cimarron told them to check out Track Houston.
The family looked them up, took Aidan out and were
amazed with the coaches and other families. Since then, Aidan has qualified for
4 Junior Olympics. This year during the cross country season, he came in 7th
place out of 25 kids to qualify for the Junior Olympics. He had to be in the
top 15 in the 9-10 year-old age group for the Houston area. He went to
Albuquerque, New Mexico and ran the 3000. He came in 252 out of 300 runners.
His time was 14:53.
Congratulations, Aidan! Cimarron is so proud of you!
