REPLAYS FROM EVERY RACE AT THE AAU JUNIOR OLYMPIC GAMES


HUMBLE, TEXAS -- Back in 2016, Gabrielle Wilkinson of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania broke the AAU Junior Olympic record in the 1,500m with a 4:25.04 in the 17-18 girls age group.

Then on Tuesday, Anastacia Gonzales of Boerne Champion (TX) rewrote the record book. 

As expected, Gonzales went out aggressively and held on to the lead. The spectators rose to their feet to bring her home on the last 400m. 

Gonzales crossed the finish line in 4:22.91 to shave almost three seconds off the previous record. Her previous best was set last season when she ran 4:28.22 at the Saturday Night Lights meet.
