Arman Hall and Amy Weissenbach lead Team USA at 2011 World Youth Championships LILLE, FRANCE – A squad of 41 youth athletes headlined by Arman Hall and Amy Weissenbach look to start their careers as elite athletes on an international level and to defend Team USA’s winning streak at the 2011 IAAF World Youth Championships July 6-10 in Lille, France.
This year’s event is the seventh in the history of the biennial competition. 1,375 athletes from 173 countries ages 15-17 (born in 1994-1995) will gather to compete in the most elite youth meet in the world. The meet serves as an introduction to elite international competition for many athletes who will continue on to compete as the future stars of the sport. Team USA has won the medal tally at every edition of the event since 2001.
In the jumps, Carla Forbes of Mattapan, Mass. sailed to a season best by nearly eight inches at the U.S. trials to win in 12.83m/42-1.5. The second U.S. entry in the triple jump is Madu (also entered in the 100m) who has cleared 41-3 this year. Sydney White of Kernersville, N.C. will represent the U.S. in the pole vault after winning the trials in 3.84m/12-7.5. |
