An outstanding group of young Trojans proved that the future is bright for USC Track & Field at the USATF Junior Championships last weekend in Eugene. Freshman Randall Cunningham won the men's Junior high jump title at 7-2.50 while freshman Dior Hall (pictured) won the Junior 100m HH title in 13.02. Fellow freshmen Kendall Ellis and Deanna Hill won the Junior 400m title and Junior 200m title respectively, clocking times of 52.32 and 23.03.
Joining them on the U.S. Junior Team are freshmen Marquis Morris, who placed second in the men's Junior 110m HH, Ky Westbrook, who finished second in the women's Junior 200m and Robert Ford, who secured second in the men's Junior 800m. The seven Trojans will compete at the Pan Am Junior Championships in Edmonton, Canada from July 31 to August 2.

The Trojans were well-represented at the USATF Outdoor Championships as well with senior BeeJay Lee becoming the first Trojan to reach the U.S. 100m and 200m finals in the same season since 1981. He placed sixth and fourth respectively, just missing the cut to qualify for a spot on the U.S. National Team, but five other Trojans will travel to Beijing to represent Team USA.
Redshirt senior Conor McCullough took second in the men's hammer throw and will compete alongside former USC athletes Allyson Felix (400m champion), Aleec Harris (110m HH), Bryshon Nellum (400m) and Jesse Williams (high jump) at the World Championships from August 22-30.
