My name is Milton Campbell and I serve as Southeast Regional Director for Urban Youth Workers Institute, a national organization that develops leaders who work with at-risk youth.  I am both a fan of the work of Quicksilver Track Club and also a recipient of Quicksilver’s leader development process.  Raised in a single parent household, Quicksilver provided the mentoring and coaching I needed to navigate my life to where I am today.  Quicksilver is more than just a sports program. They provide “The Village” that helps to steer young men and young women in the right direction during those more critical years in their development.   What amazes me about Quicksilver is that they have a unique way of developing athletes into students, into adults, into leaders that shape their community for the greater good.

Quicksilver helped to open the door for me to attend and graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on a full track scholarship.  While attending Carolina I was a 13-time All- American, 2-time NCAA Champion, 10-time ACC Champion, ACC Record Holder, and American Collegiate Record Holder.  This was made possible because of the foundation of hard work laid through my development at Quicksilver.

After college I had the opportunity to compete professionally for 10 years.  During that time, I represented the United States of America at 6 IAAF World Championships where I won 3 IAAF World Championship Gold Medals, and 3 Silver Medals.  I also garnered 1 World Record.   Again, the seeds that lead to these accomplishments were planted and cultivated by Quicksilver Track Club.

There are many great organizations that have developed some phenomenal programs across our country.  Yet, there are only a few organi-zations that develop phenomenal people. Quicksilver Track Club has been in the business of developing people for over 25 years.  Some of the fruit of Quicksilver Track Club has been lawyers, doctors, bankers, educators, clergy, professional athletes, entrepreneurs, nurses, and the list goes on and on.  Quicksilver Track Club is an organization that has a track record of producing world changers.  Quicksilver has been a stabilizing force for at-risk families in Southwest Atlanta for some 25 plus years.
