USATF Oregon Sanctions Chair Debi Hanson: Sanctions@oregon.usatf.org Oregon Association XC Meet Draws over 250 Youth Athletes
The USATF Oregon Association hosted its annual Junior Olympic Cross Country Championship meet under rainy skies at Bush Park in Salem, OR, on November 5. Over 250 youth athletes ages 6 to 18 years old representing 12 Oregon youth clubs participated in the meet. There were also several athletes who competed unattached. Girls and boys age divisions competed over 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 meter courses within Bush Park. There were three boys in the 17-18 age division who ran the 4,000 meter course rather than their scheduled 5,000 meter race.
