The AAU Junior Olympics is one of the most prestigious track and field competitions of the year. On July 29 the best youth athletes in the nation will gather at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa from July 27 to Aug. 5. 

The AAU hosted its first junior olympics games in 1967, featuring only two sports and 523 participants. Since then the organization has grown to host events featuring 20 sports divisions and more than 14,000 athletes every year.
