USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships

So, imagine you are playing a game outside with your friends. You might race each other to see who is the fastest or jump as far as you can. Well, grown-ups also like to do these kinds of things, but they make it into a big competition called track and field!

The USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships is like a big Olympics competition just for athletes from the United States. It happens once a year and all the fastest runners, highest jumpers, and farthest throwers come together to compete against each other.

They run on a track that goes all the way around a big field. They might run short distances like 100 meters or long distances like a whole mile! They also jump over things like hurdles or into a sand pit called a long jump.

In fact, there are many different events going on at the same time! There are races, jumps, and throws for boys and girls of different ages and abilities. The athletes who do the best in each event get medals and prizes!

The USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships is a really exciting event to watch, and it helps us see who the best athletes in the United States are. So, just like when you play outside with your friends, these grown-up athletes get to show off their skills and have a lot of fun doing it!
