Brad and I volunteered this past Friday at the 2011 Area 13 AAU Junior Olympic Track and Field National Qualifier held at Atascocita High School.  We were able to educate many young athletes on how to properly warm up and deal with minor aches and pains.  With over a thousand young athletes in attendance and over a thousand parents and spectators, we were impressed by the vast interest in track and field.  Athletes between the ages of 5-20 came to participate in the various track and field events with the overall goal of qualifying for the Junior Olympics held July 29-Aug. 6 in New Orleans.

We also learned that Houston will be the host city for the 2012 AAU Junior Olympics.  We are very excited about the opportunity to continue helping these young athletes properly prepare for the sport of track and field.
