In 1986, the late Cedric Walker helped to create the Flower City Track Club in Rochester, NY, to provide an opportunity for young athletes gain the necessary skills to compete in the sport of Track and Field. The club produced many Track and Field stars and Olympians such as Kim Batten, the 1995 World Champion, 1996 Olympic Silver Medalist, 1997 Bronze Medalist and National Track and Field member in the Women's 400 meter hurdles.

I am an Assistant Coach for the Flower City Track Club. Our students come from urban, suburban and rural schools. We have done a tremendous job this past summer with the student-athletes and during this indoor season and they have stood out among the best athletes in our area. We serve close to 100 athletes that are in need of training and competition shoes and apparel for the sprints, middle distance-distance, jumps and throwing events. If you are willing to assist us or know of anyone that is willing to donate any shoes and apparel, please contact me at

Thank you so much!
