Track Houston athletes will contest the World Youth Trials on 6/29 in Michigan. The World Youth Trials is the younger version of the USA National Championships. It is the proving ground for future NCAA champions and US Olympians.
At the meet, the top two in each event will immediately travel to Italy to represent the USA at the international level. Our club head coach, Joseph Felder is a member of the coaching staff. This is a great honor and well deserved! Coach Felder is a prior USATF Coach of the Year and co-heads the largest youth track club in the world…Track Houston! He leaves this weekend to travel with the team to Italy representing the USA. We are very proud of him and this greatest achievement as a coach of young athletes.
