KENZO WOODS EARNS
FIRST VICTORY IN STRIDE NATION ELITE HISTORY

Founded with the mission of Building Champions on the Track and Leaders for Life, Stride Nation Elite was created to provide young athletes with an environment focused on development, discipline, confidence, and competitive excellence.

Every program begins with a vision. Every team begins with a first athlete. Every championship journey begins with a first victory.

Kenzo's performance at The Wings Track Club Meet will forever be remembered as the first athlete victory in the history of Stride Nation Elite.

Competing in the Boys 13-Year-Old 100 Meter Hurdles, Kenzo demonstrated speed, focus, and determination throughout the race.

The 15.21-second winning run showcased the development that comes through consistent training. Kenzo has since posted a 14.91-second personal best — a standard future Stride Nation Elite hurdlers will chase.

While the result itself is impressive, the significance extends beyond the finish line. Every successful track program can point to defining moments that helped shape its culture. This performance now becomes part of the foundation on which Stride Nation Elite will continue to grow.

Stride Nation Elite was established to help athletes develop both as competitors and as young leaders. Kenzo's victory reflects those values and serves as an example of what can be achieved through dedication, preparation, and perseverance.

Although this victory represents an important milestone, it is only the beginning. The 2026 season will provide additional opportunities for Stride Nation Elite athletes to compete, improve, and pursue new goals.

As the club continues to grow, future athletes will always be able to look back on this moment as the day Stride Nation Elite earned its first victory.

Every organization has a starting point. For Stride Nation Elite, that starting point now includes a championship performance by Kenzo Woods at The Wings Track Club Meet.

The first victory has been earned. The foundation has been built. The journey is just beginning.
