2014 Women's Penn Relays - Photo Story
The 2014 Women's Penn Relays race walk was an historic event. While we always favored junior/high school walkers over open and masters athletes, there was never a year so youth centric as 2014. With a limit of 25 athletes on the track, there were only 2 open athletes and one very prestigeous masters athlete. The other 22 qualifying athletes were all junior and high school walkers. When I took the Penn Relays over 24 years ago, the time standard for the junior/high school women was 32:00. This year it was 28:00. Given the lack of open competition (due to the World Cup) and the faster standards making it harder for masters women to compete, the superb level of youth walking is a great sign for the future of women's race walking in the USA. Importantly, we need to encourage these athletes to continue walking in college and beyond.
