TAME | XC/TF | Belize - Recap #6

1/9/2026 3:54:00 PM

Tuesday's recap from the ETBU Cross Country and Track & Field TAME trip to Belize is provided by Braden Norton and Megan Smith.
 
"Today we helped host a track clinic, where we had about 50 children participate.  We helped with warm-up drills, held relay races, and then we broke into pairs and talked to the kids to get to know them better and share the love of Christ.  Afterwards we went to a high school and helped lead worship and prayed for the students.  To finish off the night, we went into the community to talk and play games with the locals, where we were able to get to know them better," Norton said. 
 
"We started our morning by hosting a track clinic at a local field in the community for four different high schools.  This was a really special opportunity, not just because we got to share our love for track, but also because the community recently lost their star track athlete to a drowning.  We were able to bring joy to the sport that has a huge tint of recent grief for these teenagers.  This is just one way the Lord has used us to share the love of Christ to this community throughout the week," Smith added.
