\u201cIt\u2019s always a special night when we have a council meeting where we can celebrate our young people that have accomplished something,\u201d Reeves said. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes tonight really special.\u201d <\/p>\n
Reeves and the Council also presented members of the CHHS boys and girls track teams with a commendation and plaques commemorating their state championships. The girls team won a Class 4A-5A Outdoor Track State Championship in the 4×100-meter relay. The relay team consists of Payton Ousley, Shai\u2019Vonne Grace, Harmony Hubbard and Skylar Wright. Ousley also won a state championship 60-meter dash during the indoor season. <\/p>\n
The boys team took home the 4A-5A Indoor Track State Championship in the 4×200-meter relay. The relay team consists of Kourtni Christian, Briece Baker, Javion Hall and Joshuan Daniels. <\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing about track and field is it is a sport of life,\u201d CHHS Track Coach Tyree Reed said. \u201cWhat you put into it is what you will get out of it. One thing about these kids is they put in the time and effort to be the best. At times, you may fall short and that\u2019s okay in the sport of track and field because you always get another attempt.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is also what makes this accomplishment special. It\u2019s not easy to win when you\u2019re supposed to win, when it matters getting the job done is all that matters. They put that in the forefront and I couldn\u2019t be more proud of the effort they put in.\u201d <\/p>\n
The mayor and council each delivered words of encouragement to the track team, as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat y\u2019all did running is really a lot like what we do here,\u201d Reeves said. \u201cIt takes teamwork and it takes everyone being able to move fast and hand off that baton. I am very proud of what you have accomplished and am very grateful that we have a community with such great young people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Councilwoman Sharon McSwain-Holland told the athletes she hoped to see them leading in the community in the future, as well. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnytime you get a chance to celebrate the youth it always brings the crowd and I thank you all for what you are doing to represent the great City of Troy,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope to see you one day making a difference in our city beyond sports, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the Troy City Council meeting on July 14, the Council and Mayor Jason Reeves held ceremonies to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[112970,9,24,63,122,124,123,10497],"class_list":["post-296600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-charles-henderson-sports","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-troy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
