T&F JUNIOR ELITE TRACK & FIELD CAMPS

Jr. Elite Track & Field Camps were held at the U.S. Olympic Training Centers continuously 1978-2004  under the sponsorship of the AAU/TAC/USA T&F and the USOC.  Jackie Joyner, then a high school sophomore, attended the first camp.  Since the initiation of the Camps, approximately 75% of all U.S. women track & field Olympians have participated in the Jr. Elite Camps.  Many of the nation's finest current track & field coaches also have received much inspiration and learning by attending the camps with their high school or AAU/TAC/USA T&F club athletes.  The purpose of the Camps is to inspire and aid the development of elite high school T&F athletes, through their coaches, toward international and Olympic levels.

The USA Jr. Elite Track & Field Camps may be held again in 2010. 

While Brooks Johnson was chair of the USA T&F High Performance Division, 2005-2008, the Jr. Elite Camps were disbanded.  Now, under new USA T&F leadership, they may return again in 2010.  Stay tuned for more information!!
