COLUMBIA, Mo. - Freshman John Warren will trade in the black and gold for the red, white, and blue this weekend, as he represents the Team USA at the 2015 Pan American Junior Championships in Edmonton, Canada. The triple jumper closed his debut collegiate season just a few weeks ago with a Second Team All-American performance at the NCAA Championships before going on to win the USATF Junior Championships with a PR leap of 16.00m (52-6). That performance, which put him at No. 4 in the Mizzou record books, earned him a spot among the 86 other young U.S. athletes at this weekend's competition.
Warren enters the weekend with the fifth-best triple jump mark in the field. The competition is set to begin at 6:40 p.m. MT (7:40 p.m. CT).
ABOUT THE MEET...
This is the 18th anniversary of the competition, which began in 1980 in Sudbury, Canada. It features athletes, ages 16 to 19, from throughout the Americas and Caribbean.
