2010 Track Season
CONGRATULATIONS!
2010 AAU Jr. Olympics In the oft-ignored event of the racewalk, Maite Moscoso has been an age group standout for many years. She earned a national championship this weekend in the 3000 Meter Racewalk with a blazing time of 15:50.40 that was the second fastest time of the meet... including the males! She is #1 in the country for her Intermediate age group and #2 overall in the nation for high schoolers. Moscoso's 3000m win came after a victory last week in the 5K Race Walk at the USA vs. Canada meet in Toronto, where she broke the international competition (including members of the US and Canadian national teams) with three laps to go... finishing in 26:30. At 15 years old, she was the youngest competitor in that field. http://fl.milesplit.us/articles/48248
