USATF National Junior Olympic Championships (KS) Results
The USATF National Junior Olympic Championships took place early in the week with 148 throwers across two age groups making the trip to Kansas. Danielle Gregory (Liberty, Wentzville, MO) was the big highlight of the competition with a new Junior Olympic age group record of 167’9″. Despite competing in the younger 15-16 year old age group she produce the best girl’s mark across both age groups. There were several other impressive performances including a 10 foot best by Mya Muse (Vestal, NY) to win the 17-18 year old age group.
Both boy’s age groups featured close competitions. Ian Frost (Mary M. Knight, Elma, WA) took the first round lead in the 17-18 year old division, but it was grabbed in the second round by Jacob Wickey (Medina, OH) who held on for the win. Joseph Ryan (Massapequa, NY) captured the younger age group title by a mere four inches. Top 20 results are shown below; complete results are available here.
