Olympic Gold medalist and Georgetown native Anthuan Maybank is back in his hometown for the third annual Anthuan Maybank Day celebration!
Hosted by Georgetown County Parks and Recreation, the event takes place at the Anthuan Maybank Track Field at Beck Recreation Center. The field was dedicated in Maybank’s honor in 2022.
Anthuan Maybank Day festivities will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 20, with a motivational program for kids and teens. Maybank will talk with young people about discipline, goals and making smart choices. A family relay race will follow, along with other activities. Maybank is also expected to have a rematch with the Parks and Recreation Department’s Mascot, Forest the Squirrel. Maybank has won his race with Forest every year, but he said Forest seemed a little younger and faster last year than the year prior.
There will also be food at the event. Food and all activities will be free.
A product of Georgetown County public schools, Maybank’s dedication to track and field elevated him to the world stage in 1995, when he won gold at the World University Games in the 200 meter dash and the 4x400 meter relay. A year later, he took home gold again at the 1996 Olympic Games in the 4x400 meter relay.
