CLEVELAND — As young athletes from the Cleveland -based organization Good2Great gear up for track meets, words of affirmation race through their heads."I am a leader because I am loved, valued and respected.""We want to change the culture and the narrative in Cleveland as we look and see that Cleveland is a stressed city, to be able to build into these youth and change the culture, that’s the main thing," said coach Cordale Scott.
Over the years, Good2Great has become a nationally-ranked track team, and the current group competing for the organization recently proved why. For athletes like Kennedy Kelly, an 11-year-old qualifier, the accomplishment is one she's extremely proud of, both for herself and for her teammates. William Blue, a 14-year-old qualifier, is looking to add more medals to his collection, which has surpassed 50 since he began participating in track and field.Through the Good2Great program, Northeast Ohio children and their parents are provided with a foundation of support, which, for many, allows them to chase dreams.
