Danbury FLYERS History
In 2013 Gail Hill Williams co-founded the DYTFA program, with Greg Williams, at the request of track athletes and their parents, so they could have a summer travel program where the athletes could further to learn, grow and compete in track.
Danbury had every sports program represented in the Middle School for boys and girls, except for Track and Field. Danbury public schools eliminated the sports program in the 1990’s. The intent was to make the DYTFA program a feeder program for the Danbury High School Track and Field program.
So with the assistance and support of the Danbury High School coach Rob Murray, the DYTFA Track and Field Program was born. The Hatters “Orange and Blue” were chosen as team colors and will compete in the Western Connecticut Conference, AAU, and USATF.
Long time Danbury resident and DHS former Track and Cross Country member Gail Hill Williams was named the 1st DYTFA Track and Field Coach and GM for the Indoor, Outdoor Spring and Summer track and Field Programs. In the Fall of 2014, Irving Fox founded the XC Running program and was named the 1st Commissioner. Mr. Fox also serves and the Treasurer of DYTFA.
