USA Triathlon recognizes that not every junior athlete is ready for or interested in the draft-legal format. Draft-legal racing requires a unique skill-set that takes time to master. Junior Development Races provide athletes a gateway into the developmental pipeline. Athletes will experience triathlon in its traditional, non-drafting format, officiated using USA Triathlon Rules. Junior Development Races are typically sprint-distance and have been selected because of their “junior-friendly” atmosphere and age-appropriateness.

SOUTHWEST Region Youth/Junior Development Race Series
The southwest region of USAT is sponsoring a series of developmental sprint races to encourage youth (13-15) and junior (16-19) athletes to participate in triathlons. Ages are determined by USAT rules (age as of Dec 31, 2009). The region will have a point series with updated rankings throughout the year.

Each event winner will receive an award provided by the region, as well as ranking points. The last event of the season will crown the series champion in the youth (13-15) and the junior (16-19) age catagories. There will be awards for female and male competitors. For more information on these races or the series, please contact Sharon Osgood, Regional Athlete Development Coordinator at tballntricoach@aol.com
