We hope you enjoyed our photos. We took lots of photos but couldn't fit them all on this page. We're going to use some on other pages throughout the year, so visit our site often and maybe you'll find your photo on one of our pages! KR would like to thank USATF for putting this event on for our kids and letting our kids have the thrill of being champions.
