The USATF Junior Championships will be held this coming Friday through Sunday in Columbus, Ohio in Jesse Owens Stadium on the campus of Ohio State University.

Nellum won the men’s 200m and 400m sprints for the second consecutive year, and added wins in the 4×100m and 4×400m relays. Out of the 46 points tallied by Polly, Nellum played a key role in amassing all but six of those points.
