He is a rather discreet young Guadeloupean athlete and yet he accumulates titles. His name is Allan Lacroix and he is a 400 meter specialist. He is French junior champion, also indoor champion. He also participated in the 4×400 relay world championships and with his team won bronze. He trains on the Creps track in Les Abymes in Guadeloupe.
He fell into it when he was little. Considered a hyperactive child, Allan Lacroix was enrolled by his parents in three sports disciplines, swimming, athletics and karate. It was in athletics that he quickly stood out from the crowd. The young Guadeloupean therefore chooses to devote himself fully to it.
I specialized in the 400 meters because it's the hardest and I like being the best in a difficult discipline.

Your choice implies total commitment, 24 hours a day. You have to be diligent, never give up and work every day. This of course requires sacrifices but the accumulation of victories motivates and stimulates him. He had the chance to be French champion every year.
The message I have for young people is to never give up and always give your all to what you do.
So Allan dreams of the Junior European Championships, the World Championships… in short, the biggest athletics tracks in the world. The young athlete, French hopeful champion, believes in it hard and works.
