Sydnie Bunel the Bronze Bombshell
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The nation’s top youth track and field competitors headed to Myrtle Beach, SC for the 2011 World Youth Track & Field Trials and the 2011 USA Youth Outdoor Track & Field Championships, June 28- July 3 at Doug Shaw Stadium.
80m hurdles – Sydnie Bunel of LSI Sprint took to Myrtle Beach to battled for supremacy in the midget girls’ 80m hurdles. Windy but not Worried she Qualified in the Prelims with a Time of 13.56 to advance to the finals. In the Finals Sydnie would run a Personal Best of 12.96, good enough take the podium and Bronze Medalist behind Durham Striders teammates Kayla Moore and Kenyae Austin with thier times of 12.86 and 12.87.
“I thought her efforts were good despite some of the challenges she faced this season,” said LSI Head Coach Alexander Hill. “Overall I’m please with the outcome.
We have a saying at LSI “It doesn’t matter what you do now, what matters is what you do when it counts” and to run a Personal Best, the very last race of the season makes it that more time tested and true. Sydnie has a great deal of talent and potential and at 12 years old we have plenty time to extract her best performances.”
Pacific Association would Like to congratulate PA Member, US #9 and National Youth All American Sydnie Bunel for her continued success and improvement in USA Track and Field.
The Youth Championships is a national competition with entry based upon qualifying standards for each event and has the same age divisions as the USATF Junior Olympic Program: Bantam (10 and under), Midget (11-12), Youth (13-14), Intermediate (15-16) and Young Women/Men (17-18). The USA Youth Outdoor Track & Field Championships are also scored for team championships in all age divisions.

2011 Pacific Association Youth Committee Meeting Youth Chair – Joanne Slaton-Camargo
Meeting Agenda

National Convention High School Program Report
National Convention Youth Committee Report
Happy New Year one and all. Hope everyone had a most wonderful holiday season. This notice is a friendly reminder of the second of our two scheduled Youth Club meetings for the 2011 track and field and cross country season. The meeting is scheduled for Saturday, February 19th from 10 am to 2 pm at James Logan High School. We will critique our 2010 cross country season and maintain thoughts and ideas for the 2011 season.
The Youth Committee met October 2005 and as part of our effort to improve our operating protocols and streamline our business processes, the committee developed four core areas of concentration that would continually cause the committee to be goal driven.
Our core areas of concentration are:
The core areas of concentration were separated into Four Independent Phases. Calendar Year 2011 places us in Phase II of our strategic plan which requires the committee to increase the number of youth representatives at the executive board level by seeking out individuals who will attend executive meetings and vote on youth agenda items that impact the Youth Sport Committee.
We will embark upon creating scholarships for PA Youth Athletes aspirating to attending college, create the criteria and award that would recognize outstanding youth coaches within our association, create a youth service award that would recognize volunteers with our association, develop financial instruments that encourage consistency in profit and expense tracking and allows the committee to annually distribute the youth budget creating financial transparency.
Your involvement is paramount to the success of our organization achieving the goals set before us this year. It is my hope that you are planning to attend the meeting on February 19, 2011 at James Logan High School at 10:00 am.
If you plan to bid for a cross country meet this upcoming season please be aware that you will be expected to have available, the facility location, medical person
