Jaycee Jenkins is one impressive individual with the heart of a champion. After winning the 15/16 Girls 1500m at USATF JO Nationals, Jaycee was one of the favorites going into the 800m. Having posted the 2nd fastest time 800 time in the prelims, Jaycee was poised to finish at the top once again.

Unfortunately in track and field, some things don't go according to plan. With 200m remaining in the final, Jaycee went down hard on the track. While most runners would have eventually gotten up and limped to the finish line, her competitive spirit and heart wouldn't allow that. Jenkins not only immediately got back up to finish the race; she sprinted to the finish and closed within 1.3 seconds of the 5th place runner.

Jaycee Jenkins earned All-American status in the 800m, but also showed how the word quit is not in her vocabulary. And as one of the youngest runners in her division she's poised to come back even stronger next season. Well done, Jaycee!!

What's better than making USATF JO All-American status once? Doing it a second time in the same meet! Emma Hudon refused to back down this week and her determination paid off with another top 8 finish, this time in the 13/14 Girls 100m hurdles. Amazing job, Emma!
