Dude Ranch Kids Qualify for USA Track & Field National Junior Olympics

The Van Berkum family of the Rainbow Trout Ranch in Antonito, Colorado is very proud of Caroline (9+) and Derek (8) Van Berkum who both qualified for the USA Track & Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics to be held in Reno, NV, December 12th, 2009. Caroline qualified individually and Derek qualified individually as well as with the team.

For the 2nd straight year the Penguin Track Club is going to the USATF National Junior Olympics Cross Country Championships. The club qualified a bantam boys cross country team and 4 individual runners in various other classifications at the Regional Meet in El Paso, TX. Each member of the club has put a great deal of energy and hard work into qualifying. These young athletes have been practicing 5 to 6 days a week for the last 6 weeks under the watchful eye of Coach Peter De La Cerda.”

Great job Caroline and Derek! Good luck in Reno!!
