The Young Men’s division, also took the 4×400 gold for a second straight year. Traditionally a strong age division for Track Houston, the young men in past years have presented two squads in the Junior Olympics finals. In the intermediate boys division, Derreck Edwards also won gold in the Triple Jump.
Our athletes earned over 90 Junior Olympic medals which was more than any other track club in attendance at this national event. Medals included 13 Gold, 13 Silver and 6 Bronze in the sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws and relays.
