Race of the Day:
The Miami Gardens Xpress 12-year-old boys 4x800m relay won in 9:24.6, just five seconds outside of their own AAU National Championships record of 9:19.92, set one year ago.
Interview of the Day:
The Track Minnesota Elite women's 17-18 4x800m relay overtook hometown favorites and early leaders Motor City TC on the third leg and held on for the win, 9:23.39 to 9:35.61, to defend their AAU national title in convincing fashion. Their coach couldn't contain his excitement and photo bombed their post-race interview!

National record holder Tyrese Cooper is one of the most popular athletes at the AAU Junior Olympic Games and is asked to sign interviews after all of his races. I guess no one carries paper anymore...
