Hello. This hand happened a while ago on a CC freeroll I belive. Even though I had HUD running, but didn't got any info about the players. Stats:
CO:VPIP:33,PFR:25,3B:22,2 over 32hands
BB:VPIP:27,PFR:8,3B:0 over 26 hands.
After folding, I thought to myself: is this a call? AJ I would've folded, AK is a call, but not sure about AQ. Is this a call for you against these stacks by default? How our calling range should be?

I think this really depends on your opponents tendencies. In a higher stakes tournament I would fold, in a freeroll I would call with suited AQ - fold offsuit AQ. I think I would fold 99 in this spot as well, call JJ - and 1010 depends on your opponents.

CO is playing way too wide . granted stats sample size is small but in a freeroll, people splash their chips around and i have no trouble getting it in vs these two players . AQs has to be a call IMO

I'm definitely calling off here. Even if the CO is shoving way tighter than he's "supposed to" here this is a call. It's somewhat annoying having BB in there too but it's still a call.

There's just too many worse pairs and almost certainly SOME worse Ax in the CO range, and we don't even need 50% equity here because there's some dead money from our previous raise.

Yeah, BB was the main issue, because I would've snapped off CO with AQs. But thinking back now and looking at BB's stack, he's gonna gamble with a lot of worst hands. So, it could be a mistake here folding AQ.
