A President’s Pride
I can remember as a young boy taking the President’s Physical Fitness Exam in elementary school. The goal was for all students to learn the life long values of exercise and fitness, in order to live a long, healthy, happy life.

Breaking the Record – What a Classic
It was Hazy, Hot, and Humid, but it didn’t break the record heat of 95 degrees at the inaugural Constitution Classic of 2005 in Niskayuna. But, the weather didn’t keep Brandon Mills (Pictured Above) from breaking the 110m High Hurdles record in the Young Men’s division, with a time of 20.06. That makes two straight meets that Brandon has […]

Presidents of the Future
It is not certain that they will ever run for President, but it is certain that these four boys have a very bright future in Track & Field. It was a picture perfect day for the President’s Open (the third stop of the Empire State Liberty Tour) at Queensbury High School on Saturday, June 16, […]
Framing the Constitution
It is uncertain whether any of these gentlemen will become lawmakers or future Consitutional Scholars, but they are certainly getting a solid start in this 100m dash during the Constitution Classic at Ichabod Crane High School on Saturday, June 9, 2007. The Constitution may have been around more than 200 years, but that can not be […]
