    Goldend South would be a much more competitive meet for them, higher level of competition. IT looks like Top Notch was for the most part competing against themselves and feel like they staring!!!

      You sound like a real nincompoop. If they were competing among ourselves then they would have won all gold and silver. Don't you think so stupid. It is people like you who create discord and jealousy among the young people. Grow up in your thoughts. Silly self. Because u dun grown. I could bet exactly who u b. u behave same way all de time. Let the young people grow and prosper and be friends. During competition they are rivals but off the track they get along better than the adults.
      WHEN U DONT HVAE ANYTHING GOOD AND CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY JUST SHUT UP. Let the young people fly and soar. Coming with u cut down. Leave then alone. Tired a u now man.

      Mr Defreitas, your daughter is going to be a great athlete. Keep supporting her all the way. Be a part of the process. Thank you for your kind words.

      BIG UP TNTC. U repping big time
