PA’s Sorensen PR’s and Takes 2nd at Junior Nationals 10K Race Walk

Pacific Association’s Tyler Sorensen, Pleasanton Heat gets a PR and 2nd Place at the Junior Nationals in Eugene OR this past weekend competing in the 10,000m racewalk.  Tyler walked an impressive 45:36.65 to secure himself on the Junior National Team at the age of 15 and the youngest on the team.  Here’s a link to a great photo story, one to his flotrack.org interview, and you can view the race at this flotrack.org video. We shall see Tyler again when he goes for another Junior Olympic National title next month.  He is the current national record holder for Youth Boy age record in the 3000m.  Congratulations Tyler!!
