Performance of the Week Poll, 6/27/16
There was only one major meet this weekend but it was a doozy. Many of the top preps in the country stepped up in the hot conditions in Clovis and delivered standout performances in order to make the U.S. Junior team. Please select your two favorites from the following list.
- Michael Norman, Vista Murrieta CA: The senior stormed away from the field in the 200 final at the USATF Junior National Championships to win in 20.15 to book his trip to World Juniors.
- Joy McArthur, Dana Hills CA: The sophomore only had two legal throws, but that was enough to win the hammer with a #2 all-time 203-8 (62.07m) at the USATF Junior National Championships.
- Tia Jones, George Walton Comp GA: The freshman broke the national record in the 100 hurdles prelims, running 12.84 at the USATF Junior National Championships. She finished second in the final, but still booked her ticket to World Juniors.
- Ja'mari Ward, Cahokia IL: The senior returned from a dislocated kneecap to win the long jump at the USATF Junior National Championships with a best jump of 25-8.75 (7.84m), breakings his own Illinois all-time record.
