Qualifying Standards
The Sixth World Youth Championships is set for Bressanone, Italy in July, and for the first time the U.S., which has won the last four World Championships, will select its team with a qualifying meet: June 30-July 1, at Eastern Michigan University at Ypsilanti. To be eligible, athletes must have been born in 1992 or 1993. Qualifying standards have now been established for both meets. Marks must be made in sanctioned meets (more than three teams participating) and made with legal wind readings. The qualifying window is different for each meet. To participate in the World Youth championships the marks must be made between January 1, 2008 and June 22, 2009. To qualify for the U.S. World Youth championships trials, the marks must be made between June 24, 2008 and June 22, 2009. This does create a situation, at this time, where athletes may have achieved qualifying marks for the World Youth Championships but not for the U.S.Trials.
The U.S. can send up to two athletes per event to the World Youth Championships. The first two finishers at the U.S. Trials will be placed in a pool, and the team will be selected from that pool. In 2007 the U.S. Team was made up of about 35 athletes. Generally speaking the team was made up of athletes who had performed at a level that would score (finish in the top 8) at the World Youth championships. The final number to be selected for the U.S. team will be determined February 15.
