Six PA Youth Athletes Make the 2009 National Racewalk Honor Roll

The following youth athletes are being recognized by USATF - through the national racewalk committee - as the best racewalkers in each age group for the 2009 Calendar year. The ranking are based upon various performances during the year, including the USATF Junior Olympic and USATF Youth Nationals, and the results from events composing the USATF Race Walk Grand Prix for Junior Men and Women, such as the USATF Junior Nationals and the Americas Cup Trials.  These results shows the Pacific Association's strong commitment to racewalking and the continued training of our track athletes.

First of all a big thank you to those clubs integrating racewalk into their regular track club programs. If you are a club willing to introduce racewalk to your club athletes, contact me at [email protected], and I can provide coaching materials or hold a clinic in your area.  I am looking forward to an exciting 2010 racewalk season!!
 
Respectfully Submitted,
