This grant helped our young athletes go farther — on and off the track. Funds covered snacks during meets and participation fees throughout the USATF Junior Olympic season, including the New Mexico State, Region 10, and National Junior Olympic Championships. Knowing others believe in our athletes strengthens our community and helps them feel valued, compete, and proudly represent their communities as Native youth.
