Fayette trackster is a national champion
By MICHAEL
BOYLAN
Fayette County resident Eddie Rush III just started running track this past year. He was introduced to the sport by his sister, Bianca, and he was introduced to the Quicksilver Track Club by Evander Holyfield. Recently, Rush captured the national championship in the 100 meter dash and fourth place in the 200 meter dash in the 14 year old age group of the USA Track and Field National Championship Junior Olympics held in Sacramento last month. The son of Eddie and Sharon Rush, he recently graduated from Flat Rock Middle School. He won the Fayette County Middle School regional championship in both the 100 and 200 meter dash. He runs a 11.0 time in the 100 meter and a 22.8 in the 200 meter and is looking forward to competing as a freshman for Eagle's Landing High School. |
