USATF Junior Nationals: Boys Championship Preview


Noah Lyles and Michael Norman produced one of the fastest 200m races in prep history at the 2015 Junior Nationals. This year, Lyles will race the 100m and Norman the 200m before traveling to Eugene, Ore. for the Olympic Trials in two weeks.

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 U-20 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!
