The boys AA hurdles face a new challenge as Austin enters the scene. During his freshman year, he participated in the boys WPIAL AAA division, competing against a strong field of opponents. However, due to the new classification numbers, West Mifflin is now categorized as AA. Austin's past experiences and races will serve as an advantage for him in the AA this year.

To improve his performance in the upcoming outdoor season, Austin ran the open 400 indoor race, aiming to enhance his 300 hurdle times.

Austin concluded the 2022 season with two impressive personal records at the West Mifflin Last Chance Meet. The momentum gained from this achievement is expected to carry over into the 2023 season.
