The top four finishers in each event (the top six finishers in the 100m and 400m) will be asked to complete World Junior Championships team processing. All athletes will be required to complete team sign-up in order to be eligible for the team. Those who do not complete team sign-up by 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 17th will forfeit their rank for selection to the team.
