The Junior Team Selections Committee is pleased to announce the team that will represent the USA at the 2014 Junior World Orienteering Championships (JWOC) in Bulgaria, in July.
The Committee would like to congratulate all juniors who tried out for the JWOC Team. The efforts and improvements of every junior who went for it are huge, and have started to build a more competitive culture in the USA junior orienteering program. Notably, all 16 athletes are members of the Junior Standing Team, and have been training for months under the guidance of the National Junior Coach. The Committee would like to congratulate the juniors for their hard work that has led to success. They have set the tone for years to come.
There are 3.5 months until JWOC. The Selections Committee expects all junior athletes to continue training hard, and smart. The Committee encourages all Juniors on the standing team who were not named to JWOC to travel to Europe for training and racing to increase their experience level. Thank you all for your hard work, time, and commitment!
