They will be competing for a top three finish in their events to qualify for the National Junior Olympics Championships July 22-27 in Omaha, Neb.

To qualify for this regional meet, the athletes had to finish in the top five places at the Association Championships in McComb, Miss. recently. There were 500 plus particiapants at the association meet representing teams from Mississippi and Louisiana.
In all, the 33 Peak athletes qualified in 70 events and three relays at the association meet.

"This is the most we've ever had to qualify for the regional meet," said Peak coach Dennis Groll. "We had 39 but some had to drop out for various reasons."
Representing the team in the Regional meet in the sub-bantam division (8 and under) are Katie Aldredge and Alexis SMith and in the bantam division (9-910 year-olds) will be Laterria Carter, Grace Choenour, Aubrey Gamble, Breonna Gibson and in the Midget Division (11012 year-olds) Christina Austin, Peyton Glynn, Vaneisha Knox, James Malone, William McFarland, Brittany Wallace and Courtny Wallace.

In the youth division (13-14 year-olds) wil be Lacy Bagbey, Haley Cohenour, Brittney Gamble, Ethan Gremillion, Ahkeem Henderson, Nikiel Jones, Dvonte McFarland and Delwin Nelson and in the intermitedate division (15-16 year-olds) will be Ashley Aldredge, Joey Black, JOshua Cox, Shabrodric Kelly and Maggie Sylvester.
I
n the young women's and men's division (17-18 year-olds) will be Jennifer Goss, Dimitri Hampton, Eric Manning, Mychal Manning, Jonas Tyson, Neil Watkins and Keldrick Williams.

"Each of these athletes have either won or finished in the top four in the events in the previous meets," Groll said. "They have an excellent chance of qualifying for the National meets."
