Brianna Heilsnis' state-leading Hammer Throw was just one of many strong performances in the early summer track season.
As I prepare to recap the AAU Area 7 and USATF NC Association meets, I thought I would look through the "regular-season" summer meets that led up to them. Below are the performances that either met the MileSplit US First Team Elite standard, or ranked in the top 10 in the state for the 2012 outdoor season.
