Tallahassee Trailblazers Track & Field Club blaze trails at the 2016 AAU National Jr. Olympic Games in Houston, TX
The 2016 AAU National Jr. Olympic Games were held last week in Houston (Humble), Texas (July 30th - August 6th) and the Tallahassee Trailblazers track & field club represented the state of Florida and the city of Tallahassee quite well.
Galen Johnson - 13 Year Old Boys was a main highlight at the event maintaining his status as #1 in both the 100m & 200m dashes through quarter finals and semi finals to win both in the Finals! [100m (11.34) and 200m (23.11), both PRs.]
