He was right. The third grader at PS 20 finished fourth in the boys' Fastest Kid in New York 50-meter dash Friday night at the Millrose Games with a time of 8.63. Not too shabby, especially at a place like Madison Square Garden in front of a packed house.”It was kind of scary running in front of 1,000 people or so,” Hamilton said.It was a little more than that. A crowd of 14,709 people filled the World's Most Famous Arena for the 100th annual Millrose Games. For many competing, it was the pinnacle of athletic accomplishments. But not for Hamilton. Person, a St. John's University student, is working on developing a track program at the Boys Club.”The Boys Club contains many talented kids,” Person said. “We're just trying to find a niche for them.”Hamilton has been with the Boys Club for three years and he's the best swimmer there at his age group. Now, maybe the best runner, too. Person just hopes that translates in getting a track program started.”This is definitely a big step for us,” Person said, “to have a kid qualify.”
