YPSILANTI, Mich. (February 27, 2023) – The finish line has been crossed on one AAU Indoor National Championship, with the final indoor event of the season stepping to the starters block. The AAU 14 & Under Indoor National Championships took place on February 17-19 at Eastern Michigan University, and a few athletes walked away with AAU championship gold.
Eastern Michigan University’s Bowen Field House in Ypsilanti, Michigan played host to the 14 & Under Indoor Nationals. The event gave us a preview of what is to come as runners approach the end of the 2023 AAU Indoor Track season.
More than 900 athletes made their way to Michigan with hopes of winning AAU gold and putting up personal bests. Teams from Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin and as far as Colorado and California came to compete.
Athletes were divided into eight age groups: 5-6 & Under, 7-8 & Under, 9-year-old boys/girls, 10-year-old boys/girls, 11-year-old boys/girls, 12-year-old boys/girls, 13-year-old boys/girls, and 14-year-old boys/girls.
The event showcased a wide range of events: relay races, 60-meter sprint, 60-meter hurdles, 200-meter race, 400-meter race, 800-meter race, 1500-meter race, 3000-meter race, 1500-meter race walk, high jump, long jump, and shot put.
Races and field events took place all under one roof. Some teams and athletes stood above the rest by the time the event came to a close. Ginn Elite Track took home gold in three age groups for the 4x200 relay race, as well as one gold in the boys 14-year-old 4x400 relay. The Michigan Mustangs Tc also won gold in three different girls’ relay races. Ezekiel Mealy, with ATP Elite, finished with the fastest sprint in the 60-meter sprint. The 14-year-old finished with a 7.33 60-meter run. Kamryn Tatum, with the Michigan Mustangs Tc, was the fastest on the girls’ side of the race. She finished with a 7.73 second 60-meter.

The AAU 14 & Under Indoor Nationals is a preview of what is to come at the 2023 AAU Indoor Track & Field National Championships in Virginia Beach. Athletes from all over the country will travel to Virginia Beach Sports Center on March 3-5. Records will be broken and AAU National Champions will be crowned to end the season.
This was the eighth (8th) year for the 14 & Under Indoor National Championships in Michigan. The event continues to grow in popularity and give athletes under the high school aged divisions an opportunity to compete on bigger stages before the 2023 Indoor National Championships. Thank you to everyone who competed safely over the weekend, and congratulations to all of our winners. We can’t wait to see you all in Virginia Beach with more gold on the line.
