The USATF World Youth Trials begin Tuesday in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The meet is used to select the US team for the World Youth Championships in Lille, France beginning July 6th. In international competition, the term "youth" means 17 and under (with the US team restricted to 16- and 17-year-olds, born in 1994 or 1995). Below you will find a list of North Carolinians participating in this qualifying meet, and this page will be updated with results as the meet progresses.
