This page contains composite updates of the top 10 performances of PA youth athletes at the 2015 USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.
In the first three of seven days of competition, PA youth athletes won four national titles and broke one national record (Emelda Malm-Annan’s W17/18 hammer throw of 55.53m). What a great start!
7/30: this result was written up in the press release by USATF: “In the 1,500m prelims, Ashley Klingenberg (Altamonte Springs, Florida) was the top qualifier in the 13-14 girls’ division by a convincing margin, coming in in 4:38.19. Three girls from the third heat, including Klingenberg, finished with the top qualifying times in the age division. Isabella Fauria (Roseville, California) and Kelli Hines (Laguna Beach, California) finished second and third overall with respective times of 4:39.91 and 4:41.39.”
7/31, 10 p.m. PST: Another National Champion and another new PA record set! This was in the 7/31 JO press release: “The women’s 17-18 triple jump title went to Kennedy Jones (Castro Valley, California) after her best jump of 12.26m/40-2.75. Alexandria Madlock (Ft. Hood, Texas) and Asa Garcia (Texas City, Texas) posted leaps of 12.22m/40-1.25 and 12.00m/39-4.50, respectively.” Alec Hastings of the Lodi TC set a new PA 3000m record for the Men 17/18 (9:09.0).
8/1 results update: Four field events were not contested … perhaps due to weather. One new PA youth record was established for Boys 13/14 3000m by Preston Norris of the Mt. Diablo Heat (9:26.76).
8/2 results update: New national Boys 7/8 1500m record was set by Daniel Scandera (unattached) with a time of 5:08.52. Isabella Fauria (Oak Hill Racing) won the Girls 13/14 1500m in 4:36.19. David Frisbie of Mission Valley T&F set a new PA record was in the Men 17/18 1500m with a time of 3:59.82.
