About The Owner

  

Maurice Campbell was born and raised in St. Catherine, Jamaica, and began his athletic journey at the prestigious St. Jago High School, known for producing elite Jamaican athletes such as Bertland Cameron and Kerron Stewart. Maurice represented St. Jago and Jamaica in track and field, specializing in the 400m, where he competed internationally and earned multiple medals.


In 1998, Maurice migrated to the United States to complete his high school education at Boyd H. Anderson High School in Florida. There, he was a Florida High School State Championship finalist and later earned a track scholarship to Southwestern Christian College, where he pursued an Associate Degree in Computer Science. Maurice achieved All-American honors in the 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay, and 400m events.


After completing college, Maurice returned to Florida in 2003 to pursue a professional track and field career under the mentorship of legendary sprinter Dennis Mitchell. During this time, he also worked as a mentor at Eckerd Youth Alternatives and continued to compete in meets both locally and internationally. In 2011, Maurice returned to Jamaica to train at Racers Track Club with former coach Bert Cameron, further refining his technical knowledge of the sport. He also benefited from coaching insights provided by Glen Mills, O.D., former coach of Usain Bolt.

Maurice’s entrepreneurial spirit led to the launch of his first training company, PT One and One, in 2013, under the advisement of Mr. Conrad Jackson and Mr. Christopher Campbell.


From 2015 to 2020, Maurice coached at Lake Minneola High School. Beginning as a volunteer, he was promoted to Assistant Coach and later Program Director, playing a critical role in the development of the school’s track and field program. Under his guidance, Lake Minneola’s girls’ 4x400m team made their debut at the prestigious FSU Relays in 2016 and set multiple school records. That same year, a Lake Minneola athlete earned the school’s first-ever full track and field scholarship to the University of South Florida. In recognition of these accomplishments, Maurice was promoted to Head Coach in 2020.


In 2022, Maurice shifted his full focus to the Wind Speed Athletics Track Club, which he founded in 2016. Drawing on decades of experience as both an elite athlete and coach, Maurice has cultivated a space for student-athletes throughout Lake County and Central Florida to thrive—on and off the track. His approach emphasizes technical development, mentorship, and a mindset of perseverance.


Among his standout athletes are:


  • Quentin Thompson, who at 13 became one of Florida’s top indoor distance runners in the 3000m and 1-mile events.
  • Valentino Rudolph, who improved his 100m time from 11.06 to 10.3, 200m from 23.2 to 20.9, and 400m from 55.1 to 47.4. He won the 2023 High School State Championship.
  • Tyler Azcano, who dropped his 100m time from 10.8 to 10.09 and 200m from 22.9 to 20.9. In July 2023, he placed second at the US U20 Trials and went on to win Gold at the Pan American U20 Championships in Puerto Rico.
  • Jozef Miesak, who improved his 60m time from 6.90 to 6.84, 100m to 10.6, 200m from 23.1 to 21.2, and 400m from 48.3 to 46.68. He competed at the Junior Olympics and New Balance Championships and won the High School Championship in the 400m with a time of 46.68. Jozef earned a scholarship to Yale University, based on his outstanding academic and athletic performance.
  • Sahmouri Campbell, Maurice’s son, is recognized as one of the fastest freshmen in the class of 2025. He improved his 100m time from 12.07 to 11.2 and his 200m time from 24.2 to 22.6. Sahmouri qualified for the 2025 Junior Olympics and the New Balance Indoor Championships in the 60m, 100m, and 200m events.
  • Vanessa Waite, a freshman who began training for the 400m this season, ran 56.95 at the High School Regional meet, improved to 55.21 at the High School State Championships, and later clocked her personal      best of 55.10 at the AAU District Qualifier. Vanessa also opened her 200m season with a 23.5 at the Star Athletics meet and went on to win the New Balance Championships in the 200m with a time of 23.28, setting a new meet record. Her personal best in the 100m is 11.5 seconds.


Maurice also coaches professional athletes, several of whom are currently being trained to compete at the World Championships.


Maurice Campbell is a dedicated father of five. He and his family reside in Minneola, Florida.
