What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreSa’Niya loves track and field because it gives her a place to put all her energy, strength, and determination. Training and competing helps release stress, clears her mind, and she feels completely free while pushing herself to be her best.
Her biggest inspirations are her parents. Her Father is very involved in her training, and helping her push herself, while her Mother motivates and supports her in every way possible on and off the track. Her friends and family have always told her she is fast, athletic, and capable of great things. Their belief in her inspires her to keep working hard, improving, and becoming the best.
The moment that made me the proudest of her journey is watching her at this year’s AAU Junior Olympics. At all meets she had me by her side to help but during this time she had to adjust and adapt on her own. Rising to the occasion with confidence made me very proud as a parent.
