What a crazy weekend we had at the AAU Central District Qualifier! We had extreme weather from 90°F+ to 56°F with a wind chill of 47°F. Thank you parents and athletes who braved the freakish weather and worked together.

Despite the crazy weather, we brought home four AAU Central District 1st place champions. We had twenty-two events we ranked in the top eight and had 16 out of 18 athletes qualified for the 2023 AAU Region 13 national qualifier.
