AAU State Championship

June 27, 2010
Carroll College - Waukesha, Wisconsin

As the meet was getting started, a severe thunderstorm with lightning rolled in.  About 2,000 people had to evacuate the track and spend an hour in Carroll College's fieldhouse.  The track was very wet, which slowed the athletes down a bit.  Many of the athletes were from Wisconisn, but we also had quite a few entries from Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa teams.

Jayne earned her first win in a club individual event today with a first in the 100 meter dash!  Take a look at the video of this race.  Jayne also took second in the 200 meter dash, and the 4 x 100 relay team, anchored by Jayne, placed second.   Video of the relay.

We are leaving this Friday for Minneapolis for the AAU National Qualifier Meet, where Jayne will run the same three races.  This is a very important meet - only the top four finishers in each event qualify to participate in the National Junior Olympic Games in Norfolk, Virginia.
