Gear recipients were selected through the USTAF Foundation’s Youth Grant program.  The Youth Grant program typically funds track & field clubs with grants ranging from $1500 to $5000 to assist with expenses such as travel, equipment and apparel. The gear distribution program was executed for the first time in 2008, and will be repeated again in 2009.
