    No disrespect USATF JO T/F Championship but the competition level at the AAU JO T/F Championshp in Norfolk, Virginia was unbeleivable. The track clubs and individuals representing their states, cities, and communities were off the chart. Hats off to the staff and volunteers that made it possible they did an outstanding job.

    KJMerrick94...Note: USATF JO appeared to attract kids from (by and large) the West half of the US, while AAU JO appeared to attract kids from (by and large) the East half of the US. The economy played a huge role in kids not being able to attend one or the other, or choosing which one to attend. IMHO when I look at say 100m dash in the same age grouping at USATF 17 (of 43) kids ran sub 11. while 6 (of 68) at AAU ran sub 11. (keeping wind-aided times in mind). AAU did have a huge showing, but USATF seems to be where the 'big dogs' run (looking back three years). USATF has the notoriety of having post-high school events, perhaps that is why.

    Because the athletes compete under club names it is difficult to upload the data to the profiles. If you send me the link (mkelly@milesplit.us) to the results and the athletes name, club and high school, I can manually add the data to the profiles. I hope this helps.

    I just realized you are from Mississippi so I am sending all the information to the Miss. webmaster. He will be able to add you to your high school.
