Friday Films: Kaila Jackson's Quest For Gold


WATCH LIVE: THE 2022 AAU JUNIOR OLYMPIC GAMES

BEGINS AIRING JULY 30 - AUG. 6

A year ago, Track Life University, a youth track and field club out of Detroit, Michigan, made some waves at the AAU Junior Olympic Games in Humble, Texas. 

No one had a bigger week than Kaila Jackson, one of the team's top stars.

The Detroit Renaissance (MI) student-athlete, who recently graduated -- and signed with the University of Georgia over the NLI period -- won three events, including national records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100.

MileSplit followed Jackson over her performances. Check out the profile above.
