Youth Summit • 9:30am - 10:30am
The Youth Summit is designed for youth ages 8 and up as well as parents. The summit will feature a special guest speaker, Tonie Campbell. Tonie is a 3 time Olympian, 1980, 1984 and 1988, winning the bronze medal in the high hurdles. He has also written screenplays, children's books and currently coaches the USA Team. Tonie is ranked as the third best hurdler in the world by Track and Field, and also won the World Cup medal in 1985.
"Just Run", one of his recent books, is about a daydreaming, young female athlete who is dyslexic. And, his first book, "The Highest Stand", is about a young boy who has been bullied and found relief, success and accomplishment through running track.
During the 1 hour Summit, Tonie will be discussing some of the principals you'll find in his books, like goal setting staying focused and being all you can be. He will speak for approximately 30 minutes then allow time for questions and answers, autographs, pictures, and to view his medals.
WHAT A TREAT FOR EVERYONE!
