USATF Jr Olympic Assoc Track & Field State Championships 2023

This past weekend was the USATF Jr Olympic Assoc State Championship Meet; or as we have been calling it for months, "the State Meet." It took place at Timpanogos High School in Orem over three days, with the bulk of the events held on Saturday. To qualify for the Region 11 Championship Meet, athletes only needed to register for their State meet, so we had a handful of athletes register and not compete to let injuries heal. The Regional meet will be July 6-8 in Pocatello, Idaho.

The BEST PART of this meet?! We came away with the most points and the TEAM STATE CHAMPIONS! Way to go!!!
