USATF Junior Nationals Preview

Sprints & Hurdles




As has been the case all season, the hurdle races are California's signature - and it's the same cast of characters that you've been watching all season! Joseph Anderson (above) is one of the favorites to advance to Peru in the 100 Hurdles, with Tara Davis and Kaylah Robinson in the mix in the 100 Hurdles. Jose Rubio, Anthony Easter, and Cameron Samuel have all opted for the 400 Hurdles, which should be very interesting to watch.

(It's also worth noting that Tara Davis is listed in the Senior Women 100 Hurdles this weekend, as well, meaning that she will be competing against the pros!)

Top Golden State talent will also be on display in the sprints. High school stars entered include Zack Shinnick and Shae Anderson in the 400, as well as Jasmine Reed in the 100 and 200. Fans of the sport will also recognize several former California girls now competing for their colleges: Zaria Francis in the 100, Amanda Van Buren in the 200, and Hannah Waller in the 400.
