As the AAU Club Championships came to a close at Satellite High School in Satellite Beach, Florida this weekend, many athletes were crowned champions. A handful of athletes rewrote the record books over the last four days of the competition.
There were a total of 12 records broken this year alone.
Kicking things off on the first day of the championships, 12-year-old Samual Baker of X-Factor competed in the boys 3K.
The previous record of 9:52.31 was set by Brandon Marquez on the same day 11 years ago. Baker crossed the finish line in 9:51.50 to be the first athlete this meet to break a record and set the tone for the rest of the championship.
In the 17-18 age group, Immanual Edwards of Texas Independent Lonestar (TX), broke the 3K record by nearly six seconds. The record of 8:59.12 from Samuel Morales stood for two years. Edwards now holds the title and record with a 8:53.42.
In the field events, two girls broke a club national record in the shot put.
Meanwhile, 11-year-old Laila Jones threw 37-03 in the ring to break a six-year-old record of 34-08.75. In the 15-16 age group, Carlie Weiser added her name to the record book this year when she threw 47-03 to win the title. The UIL state champion in the discus and shot put broke the record by nearly two feet.
