The AAU/USATF Track & Field team “PWC Panthers” will represent the Prince William/Stafford/Frederick & Manassas area at the USATF Junior Olympic in Greensboro NC on July 21 – July 28 and the AAU Junior Olympics at Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti Michigan on July 29 – Aug. 3.
Over the past few weeks, the Panther athletes have competed in the AAU National Qualifier meet held in Suffolk and closing out a four day USATF Regional Qualifier at PG Sportsplex in Maryland. They have competing against an array of elite competitors, from the state of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and in Washington, D.C.
The Panther athletes have trained hard and put in a lot of hard work over the past five months. While most kids are home or away for the summer enjoying a blissful cool pool, the Panthers have battled the humidity and temperatures well above 90 degrees to have the opportunity to compete with athletes across the United States.
PWC Panthers will send 38 individuals ranging from ages six to 18 to the 2013 USATF Junior Olympics in Greensboro, North Carolina and the following week to compete in the 2013 AAU Junior Olympics at Eastern Michigan State University in Ypsilanti Michigan. Congratulations to the following athletes:
