Dozens of Minnesotans Qualify for JO Nats

They're moving on.

That's what dozens of young Minnesota athletes are doing after last weekend's Region VIII Junior Olympic meet in Omaha, Nebraska. They've advanced to the Junior Olympic National Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina which begin July 28.

The top three finishers from the Region meet advance to nationals.
