Club Results from the AAU Region 12 National Qualifier (Ypsilanti Community HS) – 1-2Jul’23

After cancellation of the AAU district meet, a change of venue from Renaissance HS to Ypsilanti Community HS and then cancellations of the multi events on Thursday & Friday due to bad air quality from the Canadian fires, it was good to be able to finally kick off the road to the AAU National JO in Des Moines.

Highlights from day 1 include a double PR from Joe (shot & discus) and PRs from Teegan (shot) and Jordyn (discus). We also had 4 regional champions (Teegan 3 for 3 and Jordyn in discus). Most importantly, every one of our club throwers placed in the top 6 which qualifies them for the AAU National Junior Olympics.

Highlights from day 2 include a PR from Maggie in discus (broke 100ft 3 times), a PR for Zoe in shot put (broke 32ft 3 times) and a double PR for Aria (shot & javelin). We also had 5 regional champions (Maggie 3 for 3 and Aria 2 for 2). Most importantly, every one of our younger club throwers placed in the top 6 (none lower than 2nd) which qualifies them for the AAU National Junior Olympics. Over the two days, we went 18 for 18!
