Youth Hammer Fund Announces Grant Recipients

Since 2005 the USATF Youth Hammer Throw Fund has awarded more than $24,000 in training grants to 24 youth boys and 28 youth girls. Awards are determined by a selection committee after reviewing each applicant’s application form which includes biographical information, training history, competitive statistical data, a brief essay describing his/her hammer throwing goals, and a letter of support from the applicant’s coach/parent. For the 2012 season 14 girls and 8 boys were awarded a USATF Youth Hammer Fund training grant. Athletes are may only to use the funds for specific hammer throw training and competition purposes. These grants are made possible due to the support of donations by individuals and the USATF Foundation.
