#Repost from oregon14wjc --- Top hurdlers jairich and ariesmerritt and the Olympic champ in the triple jump taylored2jump will be competing at the High Performance meet after tomorrow's WJCH action. They all were successful at youth and junior level and still cherish that experience. "When I got to represent my country for the first time, I was so proud that I was wearing my usatf gear everywhere, except for church", laughs Taylor. "I won the Juniors ten years ago. I was so confused, I didn't unerstand what I was doing, I just ran. Now I look back, and Dayron Robles and Garfield Darien were in that race. It just shows how far we've come since then", says Merritt. Richardson advises all young athletes keep the same attitude and innocence that they have at their development level competitions #Oregon14
