Super California Crowd in Columbus in search of US Junior Team Slots to
World Junior Champs in Poland in July

With the goal a spot on the US Junior National (Under age 20) team for the July World Junior Championships July 8-13 in Bydgoszcz, Poland, a good number of Golden State athletes will travel to the midwest late next week with an absolute sizzler of a competition for those team slots. The Junior competition is open to those who will not turn 20 during the year 2008, so your year of birth has to be 1989 or later. This is done under international rules, which go more on age than grade in schools, with a good number of first year collegians a part of the “junior age” group such that this is a great competitive experience for the best preps. Some of the top Golden State prep stars will battle outstanding groups that now include a number of athletes honed on that tough next level collegiate action. Expect a number of seasonal bests to come from the meet with typically two athletes per event, providing you meet the World Junior Standards, and more gathered in the sprints up through the 400 for relay squads, picked for the US squad.
