Youth Athletes

Track & Field/Cross Country is the number one junior high and high school participation sport in the USA. The need to support and encourage a healthy, drug-free lifestyle has never been more compelling. The USATF Foundation supports youth track & field through Youth Grants, USATF’s Win With Integrity program and Mark Springer Travel Grants.

View a Photo Gallery of past Win With Integrity events and the Win With Integrity Program Pledge, that students recite.

Elite Athletes

Not all elite athletes earn a six-figure income from prize money and endorsements. Most spend years on small stipends in pursuit of an Olympic dream. The USATF Foundation supports elite athletes through Elite Athlete Development Grants, the Distance Project and the Adopt An Athlete program.

Schedules for the 2009 indoor and outdoor Visa Championship Series, and other information, can be found at USA Track & Field.
