BRING YOUR GAME!

PURSUIT of HAPPINESS… and RECORDS!
“…That among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!” This one of the most famous quotes from the Declaration of Independence, and it has been a driving FORCE in my life, of which the Liberty Tour Track & Field Series is just a part. I am unsure where “Breaking Records” falls when it […]
The ROAD to GREENSBORO Continues…
