Junior Watch List
Tuesday, 15 January 2013 Junior Watch List
Each year the USA Cross Country Championships brings together the nation’s very best under-20-year-olds to compete for a spot on Team USA. For many of these athletes it will be their first time making an international team and can be a great way to take their running to a new level. The top six men and women junior finishers at the 2013 Championships will qualify to represent the United States at the 38th IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland on March 24th.
Below are watch lists of the country’s best Junior athletes. To compete in the Junior race an athlete must not turn 20 before January 1st, 2014 so the lists are made up of college freshman and high schoolers. If we missed someone let us know.
