We take a look at the wild regional meets which were great for one teen phenom (Athing Mu) but not so great for some others like Nico Young and Katelyn Tuohy who will be watching NCAAs on tv. Plus did you know there is another US teen, Graham Blanks, who ran 13:27 last week but also won't be at NCAAs as he hasn't even started college yet?

PIQUA Daelin Maple’s run of emotions Saturday was not for the faint of heart.
The Clinton-Massie junior went from being elated to stunned then to anxious and back to elation.
In the end, Maple qualified for the Division II OHSAA Track and Field Championship this week at Pickerington North High School.
Competing in the shot put Saturday at the Division II Region 8 Track and Field Championship at Piqua High School, Maple started out with a powerful 50-10 effort.
“I was stoked,” he said of the personal best distance that also gave him the lead for 17 throws.

The Belize Athletics Association is calling all Belizean athletes who are sixteen years of age and older to the Marion Jones Sporting Complex this weekend for its open national track and field championship event. As you will recall, for a year athletes weren’t able to train together and sporting events were put on hold due to the pandemic. But as the world is opening up, regional and global staging of sporting events are returning and Belize wants to get its athletes back out competing. So, that is why the B.B.A. is hosting this open event. President of the association Deon Sutherland tells us more.
