A big congratulations to those who placed first in their Cadet and/or IJF Junior weight divisions at the 2018 Youth National Championships in York, PA earlier this month! By placing first, you have directly qualified for a spot on the 2018 Cadet and/or IJF Junior Pan American Team that will compete in Argentina this coming July 6th and 7th.

If you are interested in competing, and are listed on the list of division winners below, you must confirm your participation via email to Lauren Roersma at USA Judo and copy both Brett Wolf and Gerry Navarro by no later than 5:00pm Mountain Time on Wednesday, March 14th, 2018. Should any direct qualifier decline, or fail to respond by the deadline, then those Team spots will become available to the alternates, the athletes who took the silver medals in the IJF Junior and Cadet Divisions at the 2018 Youth National Championships in York, PA. If the alternates decline or fail to respond before their deadline, the Team spot will be offered to athletes in descending order on the March 4th, 2018 IJF Junior/Cadet roster. It's important to remember that we cannot send more than two athletes in any one weight division.
