3M Invitational Preview
Union City, Calif. – The 3M Track and Field Team will host the 3M Invitational this Saturday and Sunday, May 14-15, at James Logan High School Field. The annual meet is one on the calendar that often leads to some season best performances.
The Field events will begin at 8:00am with Sub-Bantam Girls Long Jump, while the Running events are slated to begin at 9:00am with the Midget Girls 4×800. Saturday events will conclude with the men’s 4 x 400 meter relay. The ever-popular Parent Coach Relay will highlight the Sunday afternoon session of the Invitational. One of the traditional events of the meet where not records but parents seem to go down every year …literally!
Thirty one events will be contested on Saturday involving post-high school and high school runners. The top eight men and women from Saturday’s preliminaries will advance to the finals on Sunday.
Among the 3M competitors, the meet will showcase some of the top association teams and section leaders.
Sprints
The Sprints is always a crowd favorite and this year’s field is extremely strong. The list of entries includes Aaliyah Moore of Hercules, Masina Mayo of Hilltop, Sarahvaughn King of 3M, Rachael Estell of Umoja, Naomi Smith of Audience of One, Aishah Ahmad of EPA Greyhounds, Donovan Jordan of Phenom and Armauni Archie of Hercules. Last year, Sarahvaughn King of 3M was the 100m Champion at the Regional Outdoor Championship and competed in the event at the 2010 USATF National Junior Olympic Championships where she was a bronze medalist
Distance
Like the Sprints the Distance Races attracts a strong field. This year, the field has attracted many of the top runners in the association. The list includes Taylor Rainey of Umoja, Julia Bounds Unattached, Jaxin Woodward of Full stride, Nicole Warwick of CVRR, Gavin Hill of Castro Valley and Joshua Gibson of Fast Forward
Field Events
All of the field events will have top, quality fields, so look for possibly a few meet records to fall. With Cynthia Smith of Umoja (2009 JO Silver Medalist), Jada Newkirk of Onalysis, MacKenzie Arnold of Revolution, Hannah Hall of 3M, Crystal Webb of Nor Cal, Kurtis Lee of Umoja, Dauson Booker of CVRR and Shomari Cayton of Phenom.

Welcome to the 2011 Pacific Association Youth Cross Country Season
From David Bayliss, PA Youth Cross Country Chairman
The 2011 Pacific Association youth cross country season is upon us. As always, Pacific Association clubs will be hosting several regular season meets, from September 25 through November. 6. These meets are designed to provide opportunities for youth athletes to experience the sport and gain experience racing prior to the USATF Junior Olympic Cross Country meets at the end of the season. The Junior Olympic meets start with our own USATF Pacific Association Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships on Nov. 20 at the Willow Hills Cross Country Course in Folsom, CA, where the top 25 individuals and the top 3 teams per age group, qualify to advance to the USATF Region 14 Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships on Nov. 27, location TBD. At the Region 14 meet the top 20 individuals and the top 3 teams per age group qualify to advance to the USATF National Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships on Dec. 10 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
For the regular season meets we will once again have a Grand Prix seasonal scoring competition system for boys and girls in each of the Sub-Bantam, Bantam, Midget and Youth age groups. Club members and unattached athletes are equally eligible to participate in this competition. Points will be awarded based upon the athlete’s finishing place in his/her age group. 10 points will be awarded to the first place finisher in each age group, 9 points for second place, 8 points for third place, and so on down to 1 point for tenth place. At the Junior Olympic Association meet, the athletes who have scored the most points in each of the eight age groups will be recognized prior to the course walk and presented with a trophy. Those athletes in each of the eight age groups who have scored the second, third, fourth and fifth most points will also be recognized and receive an award.
Not all of our Pacific Association Youth Clubs are involved in cross country. If your club is not involved in cross country give it a try! If you need help, please contact me. Alternatively, if your club is not involved in cross country, your athletes may legally take part in cross country with another club. Again, please contact me and I can assist you with understanding the rules and the process.
Good luck this season!

Youth XC Profile: Julia BoundsShe Knows How to Have Fun: RUNNING!By Bob Burns Her first race was a fun run. Come to think of it, all of her races have been fun runs even the one where her feet were numb from the cold and her cheeks streaked with tears. That was the 2008 USATF National Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships in Mechanicsville, Va., where Julia Bounds, a spirited 9-year-old from Redwood City, won the bantam girls title in freezing conditions. “I actually like running in cold weather, even though you can’t really feel your feet,” she said. Every race is fun its own way. She’s been fortunate enough to win most of them, but even the occasional defeat brings out the fighter in the 5-foot fifth grader, as she demonstrated a few months ago at the Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Greensboro, N.C. “I’ve never given much thought as to why I like running so much,” Julia said. “I just do.” Now 10 and in the fifth grade, Bounds will defend her bantam title at the National Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships in Reno on Dec. 12, assuming she makes it through regional qualifying. That’s a pretty safe bet, and her experience from last year’s race should calm her pre-race nerves. At last year’s cross country nationals in Virginia, Bounds was a wide-eyed novice who had been running competitively for just five months. She was blown away by the sheer mass of runners 221 entrants at the starting line “There was just this big clump,” Bounds said. “I thought, wow, I’m probably not going to do well. But people started dropping back as the race went on.” She unleashed a strong finishing kick to win by two seconds. Her father, Jay, videotaped the finish, but the camera was shaking from his excitement. “We knew she could do it,” said her mother, Norleen. “My husband was shaking and Julia was crying as she crossed the finish line. She was used to blowing people away. It wasn’t an easy race for her.” It wasn’t as difficult as the 1,500-meter final at the 2009 Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in North Carolina. In the first 75 meters of the race, Julia was spiked and fell to the track after another competitor cut her off. Norleen Bounds said their video of the race showed that Julia was down on the track for 10 to 15 seconds. She eventually climbed to her feet and managed to pass nine runners en route to a seventh-place finish in 5:18.55. “The worst part was, they disqualified me,” Julia said. “Fortunately, we protested and I got reinstated.” “I don’t know many other 10-year-olds who would have had the toughness, competitiveness or confidence to do what she did,” Norleen Bounds said. Bounds also placed fourth in the 800 meters (2:29.89) and sixth in the high jump (3-9¼) at the track and field nationals. She turns 11 in March and will move up to the midget division at the 2010 Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Sacramento. Her personal coach, Michael Davidson, expects her to continue progressing. “Julia is a very talented young lady,” Davidson said. “Her potential for growth is tremendous. On the track, she’s very focused. Off the track, she’s very much a 10-year-old.” “She’s very, very social,” her mother said. “The team aspect is very important to her.” Julia competes for the Pleasanton Heat but trains on the Peninsula with Davidson. She continues to play soccer for a competitive-level team, though cross country now takes precedence in the event of a scheduling conflict. “In the future, I might change my mind, but right now I love running,” Julia said. “It’s interesting to see my times drop, and I like seeing my friends improve.” Jay Bounds, an IT manager for Fox Racing, and Norleen, a certified public accountant, have two children. Julia’s older brother, Jason, runs for his middle school cross country team but isn’t terribly interested in the sport. When she’s not running or socializing, Julia enjoys playing the piano and drawing. “I like creating things,” she said. She hopes to create another memorable moment when she defends her title at the upcoming cross country nationals in Reno. She doesn’t mind that she’ll go in as the person to beat, that her opponents will be thinking about her in the months leading up to the race. “That’s fine,” Julia said. “I think about the other people as much as they think about me.”
