What's the deal for Junior Pan Am Games. I know senior Pan Am Games are in Dominican Republic, but what about Junior Pan Am Games? Are they even being held this year? How many slots are there on the team? What's the minimum height? When are the games held? Does anyone know of a JUNIOR Pan Am Games website? USATF does a absolutely HORRID job of addressing this issue on their website. Any and all information about the Junior Pan Am Games would be very helpful. Also if anyone has attended and wants to tell what the competition etc is like that'd be great. Thanks
