Eugene Hamilton withdraws from state meet

It is with great sadness that I announce my decision not to participate in the upcoming CIF State Track Meet. I have been unable to train since my last race at the 2013 Arcadia Invitational, due to a number of persistent injuries to my left leg dating back to the week of April 8th.

In an effort to support my team, regardless of my fitness, I made the decision to compete in the WACC League Championships, Bayshore and the NCS Meet of Champions. I worked with my coaches to run tactical races designed to optimize my abilities and lessen the chances of further injury. Unfortunately, the back-to-back efforts at MOC worsened my injury and after consulting with my physical therapist last night, competing would only risk further complications to my left leg.

My commitment to the University of Arizona is now paramount and I will focus my efforts on reporting to school healthy and fit. I hope the timeliness of my announcement will allow another NCS athlete to compete in my stead.

I am thankful to the community for your support as this has been both a wonderful and yet very challenging year. I believe it will only make me a stronger competitor. I will work with a great team this summer to prepare me for the rigors of NCAA competition and look forward to reporting to a world class coach, James Li, with the goal of bringing home an NCAA championship.

Eugene Hamilton III
