3D Elite student athletes is a local track group with students from all over Green Country. Next week, 40 of them are heading to Sacramento, CA for the Junior Olympics.
Everything is a competition with your sibling, even if you're on the same team.
"You get to run against each other and have fun," Isabella McSwain said.
Isabella McSwain and Rayshon Austin are similar, but also different. One is precocious. The other is reserved. Despite their differences, they always have each other's back.
This summer they are on one of the country's most elite teams, they're heading to the U.S. Junior Olympics.
"I came into track just wanting to get them to do a different sport and they exceeded my expectations," Bella and Shon's dad, Mo Austin, said.
They're both relay runners and work on passing and receiving the baton. Their legs are pumping, as they chase the gold.
"We've got a really fast relay team," McSwain said.
"I do give them tips on where their mind should be, where their heart should be and what they should be focused on," Austin said.
They aren't the only 3D Elite athletes headed to Sacramento, but they are one of a few pairs with the same home address.
"We have about forty kids going ages, from eight to seven & up to 17 male and female, so we have a lot going this year," 3D Elite assistant coach Charmaine Gillespie said.
These two siblings are hoping to run at least one gold medal back to Tulsa.
The Junior Olympics start July 25th.
It's a costly trip to get to Sacramento for some families. To help Bella and Shon, click here: https://www.gofundme.com/2chexa9x.
