The Gliders began the season with our kick-off meeting in March and practice started later in the second week. In May, high school Gliders competed in the district, regional and state championships with several Gliders named to the Central Florida Track Honor Roll.

The Gliders again hosted the 19th Annual Spring Track Classic which was attended by over 700 athletes and over 13 records were broken. Later in May, the team competed in the annual BAYTAF Classic in Clearwater. In June the Gliders competed at the CoachO meet at Lake Brantley and then next week the AAU National Qualifier in Jacksonville where the club won several regional championships and qualified 23  athletes for the AAU Jr. Olympics in New Orleans. Earlier in the spring, one of our athletes competed internationally in the race walk at the Pan American Games and also the Jr. Nationals setting record times. We also had a college Glider win Gold in the triple jump at the Junior Nationals and a spot on the USA International team. At the end of June at the USATF Youth Outdoor Nationals in Myrtle Beach, SC., the Gliders earned 4 medals with 2 Gold medals in the race walk events. In the second week of July, several Gliders won medals at the AAU Club Nationals at Disney and more of our athletes qualified for the AAU Jr. Olympics.

At the end of the July, the Gliders had 15 athletes compete in the AAU Jr. Olympics in New Orleans, winning 7 medals including 2 Gold Medal National Championship Titles. In August, the Gliders concluded the season with the annual picnic at Rock Springs Park where the athletes and coaches were recognized.
