Jacob Morris+FollowLaurens’ Zee Simpson races at AAU Junior OlympicsZee Simpson, a standout junior from Laurens District High, is taking his 400m hurdles talent all the way to Houston for the AAU Junior Olympics! After smashing his school’s record with a 54.2-second run, he’s now facing off against the nation’s best young athletes. What’s wild is that Zee only started hurdling because his seventh-grade teacher suggested it for basketball conditioning. Now, he’s dreaming big—Olympics big. Whether he wins or not, this experience is a game-changer for him and for Laurens. How do you think early opportunities and local mentors shape young athletes’ futures? #Sports #LaurensProud #AAUJuniorOlympics00Share
