USATF Masters Outdoor Championships
Okay kiddo, so you know how when you play soccer or basketball, there are different age groups for kids to compete against each other? Well, the USA Track and Field (USATF) Masters Outdoor Championships is like that, but for grown-ups who are really good at running and jumping and throwing things.
These grown-ups are called "masters" because they are over the age of 30 (which is old in athlete years). The championships are held once a year, and it's a big tournament where masters athletes from all over the country can compete against each other.
There are lots of different events, like sprints, long distance races, hurdles, high jumps, and shot put. Athletes have to qualify for the championships by doing well in other competitions first.
When they get to the championships, they compete against other athletes who are their age and have similar abilities. They try to run faster, jump higher, or throw farther than their opponents. The athlete who does the best in each event gets a prize, like a medal or a trophy.
So, that's the USATF Masters Outdoor Championships in a nutshell, kiddo. It's a big contest where grown-up athletes compete against each other in lots of different running, jumping, and throwing events.
