For both girls this is a personal record for both.

Where the Eagles get their wear

To get a preview of it you can go to:

http://www.eteamz.com/RateofMotionElite/

March 9th will be the premier of the Rate of Motion Elite website.

We choose to go with eteamz for our website because they have a lot of experience with creating websites for sports teams and it also allows us to do a lot of things for the team from one place. So everyone can stay updated on our activities by going to the website. It also allows team members to create their own login and have access to updating their own profile which we think is a pretty cool feature.

It also allows us the opportunity to communicate to everyone all at once with literal the click of a button.

It was a pretty simple decision to go ahead and launch our website from the Eteamz platform.

Go check it at tells us what you think and we are always open to suggestions on how to improve the content and the quality of our site.

We want to thank Foxparc Real Estate Team for allowing us the opportunity in our first full year of operations to give us space on their website. Foxparc Real Estate Team is still an important sponsor and we want to thank them for all they have done for us and for their continued support in the years to come.

We have seven athletes preparing to compete in the National Scholastic Indoor Meet in New York on March 13-15, 2009. Quandra Shanks, Cortez Johnson, Kevin Gary, Travey Sinclair, Roodgery Rosemberg, Jameel Greenidge and Mark Watts.

They are raising the $200 they each need to go to this meet and any assistance that you can provide to them would be greatly appreciated.

Stay tuned.
