Last week, we reported results from the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics in Omaha, HERE.
This week, again thanks to USATF-Minnesota Secretary and Youth Chair Chris Dallager, we've got the details about Minnesotans finishing in the top-10 at last week's Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics. Track and field events for the competition were held in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
