USATF News Release announcing USA team for
World Juniors
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Friday, June 28, 2002
USA Track & Field Announces Roster for 2002 World Junior Championships
inKingston, Jamaica
34 High Schoolers Join 32 Collegiate Athletes on the Team
INDIANAPOLIS – USA Track & Field on Friday announced
the team that will
represent the United States at the IAAF World Junior Track &
Field
Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, July 16-21. Prior to the IAAF
World
Junior Championships, Team USA will train in Nassau, Bahamas with
teams from
Saudi Arabia, Australia and the Bahamas, from July 10-13.
Comprised of 34 high schoolers and 32 collegiate athletes, the
U.S. roster
was selected at the 2002 U.S. Junior National Track & Field
Championships,
June 21-22, in Palo Alto, Calif. Leading the way is newly crowned
world
junior record holder (400mH) Lashinda Demus (South Carolina). She
is joined
by U.S. junior 400m record holder Sanya Richards (St. Thomas Aquinas
HS),
2000 Olympic 4x400 relay pool member Monique Henderson (UCLA) and
U.S.
junior 10 km walk record holder Benjamin Shorey (Wisconsin-Parkside).
“These are our best junior athletes, and they’re among
the best in the
world,” said USATF CEO Craig Masback. “Future Olympians
will be competing at
the World Junior Championships in Kingston, and this an incredible
opportunity for our most promising athletes to get a taste of world-class
international competition.”
The World Junior Championships have been an introduction to international
competition for many USA athletes. Several have gone on to enjoy
Olympic
Games success following their appearances at the IAAF World Junior
Championships, including 25 athletes who competed at the Sydney
Games in
2000. Previous U.S. participants at IAAF World Junior Championships
include
Marion Jones, Terrence Trammell, Adam Nelson, Amy Acuff and Suzy
Favor-Hamilton.
Bill Whittaker, an assistant coach at Penn State, will lead the
men’s team
in Kingston, while Purdue University assistant coach Monica Gary
will head
the women’s team. The coaching staff also will include Olympic
bronze
medalist decathlete Chris Huffins, who now coaches at Georgia Tech,
25-time
U.S. champion in the shot and discus and four-time Olympian Connie
Price-Smith, and 1992 Olympian Bryan Blutreich.
