The Georgia Dream Track & Field (GDTF)
team was founded, established, and developed in March 2004.
GDTF is a member of and competes in the USA Track & Field
national organization within the Georgia Association. GDTF
has plans in joining and also competing in the Amateur Athletic
Union (AAU) to increase its competition base. In February
2006, Georgia Dream was voted into the Georgia Parks and Recreation
Association (GPRA) to compete in the spring youth development
track and field league.
The Georgia Dream Track & Field Team has had tremendous
success to include sending one of its athletes to the 2004
USATF National Junior Olympic Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
This athlete has also been recognized in the 2004 Elite Youth
Athlete Honor Roll. GDTF also has raised 11 athletes (2004
& 2005) that have been awarded the USATF Scholar Athlete
Award.
GDTF presents a positive and proactive approach to make all
its athletes competetive in track & field, regardless
of aptitude or ability. GDTF believes that being a positive
influence and role model to our youth, young men, and women
today, it will give them an attitude of success that will
cause them to succeed. GDTF believes in this saying:
“Life and success is 15% aptitude & 85% attitude.
It is your attitude, NOT your aptitude that determines your
altitude!”
GDTF is a vehicle in leading our youth, young men, and women
in the right direction, giving them the necessary tools to
be successful on and off the track. It is our belief that
some will raise to state, national, world class, and even
Olympic standards through our leadership. Those that do not
are not any less than the one’s that do; in fact we
believe they will carry a state, national, world class, and/or
an Olympic attitude with them no matter where they go, impacting
and changing the world. Our motto boldy states, "Acheiving
Our Dreams!"
