SUMMARY: The USA Track and Field Junior Olympics begins tomorrow in Jackson, with over 1,500 athletes from four southern states participating. Bradley Davis reported from Hughes Field, where local athletes from the Mississippi Track Stars are preparing despite the stifling heat. Coach Alan Senegal emphasized the importance of programs like Mississippi Track Stars, given that local schools often lack summer track programs. Competing in their hometown offers young athletes the chance to qualify for nationals. The four-day event will also include field events at Millsaps College. The top five in each event will advance to nationals later this month.

The Metro area will be well represented this week during the Region 6 USA Track and Field Junior Olympics. Events will be held at Hughes Field and Millsaps College and local athletes are excited to compete in their hometown amongst the best in the Southeast.
