USATF Junior Nationals: Girls Championship Preview

 


Alexa Efraimson of Nike and Candace Hill of ASICS medaled at the IAAF World Youth Championships in 2013 and 2015. This summer, they look to make their mark at the U-20 level.
The USATF Junior Nationals this weekend in Clovis, Calif. kick off an exciting summer of Team USA track and field action. The top two finishers in each event qualify for the IAAF World Junior Championships, to be held in Bydgoszcz, Poland from July 19 to July 24. Many top athletes are double entered here and at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials to be held in Eugene, Ore. in July. This weekend is an indicator of their fitness and could give spectators insight to who could contend for spots on the Team USA contingent to Rio for the Olympic Games!
