The USA Track and Field Under 20 Championships have come and gone in Eugene, Oregon, and they were a display of the country's finest junior athletes.

The top two athletes in each event qualified for the Pan American U20 Championships in Puerto Rico from August 4-6.

Below, we outlined a rough idea of the U.S. team based on the U.S. U20 results.

Our information here does not spell out the exact U.S. team, though it does give you a blueprint on how it should go once team processing is officially complete.

* At 15, Wilson is too young to compete at the Pan American U20 Championships. We asked USATF the specific guideline there, considering JaiCieonna Gero-Holt competed at the World Championships at 15 in 2022. They told us that it's a difference in governing bodies. The Association of Panamerican Athletics does not permit athletes under 16 years of age to compete in their international events.
