Bruce Johnson+FollowWest Bend’s Averie Spaeth shines at AAU Junior OlympicsAverie Spaeth, a 7th grader from West Bend, just brought home a silver medal in the triple jump at the AAU Junior Olympics in Texas—out of 42 competitors! Imagine the nerves: over 16,000 athletes, sweltering Houston heat, and a crowd that could make anyone’s knees shake. Averie pushed through, nailed her best jump on her final try, and nearly matched her personal record. She credits her coaches for their support and is already gearing up for the high jump next. How do you think young athletes handle pressure at big events like this? #Sports #WestBend #AAUJuniorOlympics00Share
