Junior Decathlon
Favored defending champion Donovan
Kilmartin, Eagle ID senior, gets off to a good start
with an 11.20 100 meters, best in the field. But a sub par long
jump of 23-0.75 (his best is 24 feet) and high jump of 6-6.25
(he is usually in the 7-foot range) left Kilmartin behind last
year's pace (when he scored a HS junior record total of 7,440).
At the end of Day 1, Kilmartin had 3,877 points, 72 behind last
year. |

The best athletes ages 14 to 19 compete for spots
on Team USA at the Pan American Junior Championships at Barbados July
17-19. Top preps and college freshmen generally make up the team,
which is drawn from the top 2 finishers in the Junior Nationals.
Super-elite juniors sometimes step up to the seniors. This year it
is Allyson Felix. The Los Angeles Baptist HS senior has the fastest
200m time in the world this year (the world junior record 22.11 at
Mexico City), and she will run in the senior women's 200. |
