World Youth Championships

Marrakech, Morocco


Next Stop for fine young group of California Preps!!

The next stop for a fine young group of California preps (under 18) will be the "World Youth" Championships in Marrakech, Morocco (northern Africa) July 13-17 for the fourth competition at the World level for that age competitor.  Athletes needed to compete in one of the 2004 USATF Summer Junior National, Youth National, or Junior Olympic national level meets to be considered for the 2005 team, with the final USA squads listed below.  This is why someone like Jamere Holland, the #2 ranked "Youth age" 100m dasher and #1 Ranked 200m runner at that level is not on the team.  Too bad, as it would be a chance to the a "World Champion" for the underclass LA City star this summer in Track and Field!

There is an every other year "World Junior Championships" for those athletes under age 20 (cannot turn 20 during the year of the meet), which will next be held in 2006, with this competition for the next group down (under 18) in alternate years. 

Should be a fun competition to look forward to the results from as these athletes face those of their own age.  They do run some different hurdle heights in the World Youth Meet (36" Boys HH and 33.07" Boys 400m Hurdle heights), with the Shot Put (5kg 11.02 lbs) and Discus implements (1.5 kg as opposed to the 1.6 used at US Prep level) that Darius Savage will throw at the World Meet.

For sprinters they run a strange 100-200-300-400 medley relay, deferring to the inability of the rest of the world to gather strong 4x100 and 4x400 teams at this level. 

Final event entries for the US squad are not finalized, but the team is below.
