See what they did in high school on our World Championships table. Also see retrospectives on Allyson Felix at 15 and Sanya Richards at 16. |
The two youngest gold medalists were Allyson Felix in the 200m (right) and Tianna Madison in long jump, both only 19. |

NTN pre-season kit
Here is all the information needed to size up the second year of the Nike Team Nationals cross country meet. Regional pages, pre-season rankings, last year's results. Pre-season regional #1 teams include the top four boys teams from the inaugural event in 2004 -- York IL, Fayetteville-Manlius NY, Mead WA, and Royal CA -- plus girls defending champ Saratoga NY.
Rich Gonzalez preview - "The rules are different here. This is cross-country -- a real team sport where you truly are only as good as your support crew. Last year's NTN leaders all lost their star runners but they still wear the favorite's mantle this year."
