tnwareagle Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 I would like to know why AAU won't do something for the runners that would probably qualify for junior Olympics, but the ONLY weekend they can qualify is the national AAU basketball tourney. Can these athletes not go run in another association meet? Does anyone know the answer to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrsmith Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 As you probably know, Tennessee is part of the Southeastern Association (also includes Alabama). According to AAU bylaws, an athlete is elibible to participate in the Association meet of any association that borders their home association. For a state such as TN that share so many borders, this opens up a world of possibilities. Just choose the associations that are near where you live, and check on their dates for their association meets. Most are posted on the AAU web site. You should be aware, however, that if you run in an association other than the Southeastern, you will need to go to both the association (place in top 4) and then the regional meets (place in top 4) to make it to the Junior Olympics. Athletes who place in the top 4 in the Southeastern Association meet don't have to go to a regional meet since the National meet is being held in the Southeastern Association's territory (Knoxville). Good luck in finding an appropriate date and I hope to see you in Knoxville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
