NJ International Track & Field – July 6, 2019, Peddie School, Hightstown, NJ – Ericka put in a good day’s work at The Oval Office last weekend.  She earned 2^nd place in the Women’s Elite 800m event with a time of 2:08.91. Coach Williams is pleased with her performance and exclaimed, “she’s doing better and most of all, she’s having fun”.    Ericka was especially enchanted to meet her idol, five-time Olympian, Jearl Miles Clark.  Jearl has earned a World Champion title and Olympic Gold medalist and is well-known for being one of the strongest 400/800m middle-distance combination runners in history.  Next up, Eastern Track League Final/DCRR Track Champs on Saturday, July 13.

On June 30, Ericka ran her 2nd fastest 800m time of the season – 2:09.54. Tough night for her at the Oval Office, but, it is also another lesson learned. Post-race, she immediately called Coach Williams to tell him how the race went for her. As always, she confesses to her coach (and herself) where she faltered in her racing strategy. Ericka positively states, “I definitely had a lot left in the tank and I should have used it up in my race. I’ll keep smiling and move on to the next race😎 Gotta keep grinding”. Next up, 7/6, NJ International Track & Field Meet, Hightstown, NJ
