WATCH THE AAU JUNIOR OLYMPIC GAMES LIVE ON FLOTRACK
Action from Day 1 of the AAU National Championships wrapped up just a few hours ago, and we have a performance to highlight from one of Indiana's own. Rebecca Merritt traveled down to Satellite High School in Florida this week to compete in the discus throw. She owns PB of 143-1 in the discus which came in early July at the CMB Outdoor Classic. In the shot-put she boasts a PB of 42-8.75. Merritt threw down a fantastic mark of 135-10, which was good for 3rd place! Take a look at the full results from the 17-19 Women Discus Throw!
