INDIANAPOLIS
– USA Track & Field announced the Team USA roster for the
13th IAAF World Junior Championships which will be held July 19-25 at
the newly built Stade Moncton 2010 Stadium in Moncton, Canada.

A total of 82 athletes will represent the U.S. at the World
Junior Championships, which is held every two years.  The
U.S. roster was determined at the 2010 USA Junior Track & Field
Championships, June 20-22, in Des Moines, Iowa.

At the 2008 IAAF World Junior Championships, Team USA won the
medal count with 11 gold, 7 silver and 2 bronze, six more than the next
highest country, Kenya. Team USA looks to continue its domination on the
track and in the field at the 2010 Championships in Moncton, led by the
country’s top junior athletes.

Experience leads junior team

Previous Team USA participants on this year’s roster include 2008
World Junior hammer silver medalist Conor McCullough;
2008 Olympic Trials finalist and five-time USA Junior Outdoors champion Jordan Hasay; 2009 World Youth 100m and 200m silver
medalist Ashton Purvis; 2010 USA Junior Outdoors discus
champion and 2009 Pan Am Junior bronze medalist Erin
Pendleton; and 2010 USA Junior Outdoors runner-up Lauren
Chambers. Chambers, McCullough and Hasay each hold Youth National
records in their respective events.

Other athletes to watch include 2010 NCAA Indoor champion and
Outdoor runner-up Robby Andrews in the 800m, Youth
National Record holder Tyler Sorensen in the 10k race
walk, and 2009 Pan Am Juniors high jump champion Maya
