By MileSplit's Cory Mull
If the AAU Junior Olympic Games produces stars before they become stars, then keep an eye out for Jonathan Simms, a 10-year-old from Dallas, who is a rising talent in the world of track and field. A year ago, Simms tripled in the 200m, 400m, and 800m, and this year he's looking to do the same. Check out his resume below. Watch AAU Junior Olympics Games LIVE on FloTrack!
Who: Jonathan Simms
Age Group: Boys 10-year-olds
Events: 200m, 400m, 800m
Where: AAU Junior Olympic Games (Ypsilanti, Michigan)
When: July 29 to August 5
Breakdown: Simms, who runs for the North Dallas Community Baptist Fellowship Eternal Impact Track Club, will be going for a vaunted triple across three largely different events for the second straight year. Can he do it? Simms is a special young talent, so don't be surprised if he makes it happen. It will be interesting -- and entertaining -- to see just what takes place. A year ago, Simms tripled in the boys 9-year-old division at the AAU Junior Olympic Games, winning the 200m (27.42), 400m (59.41), and 800 (2:19.43).
