TRUJILLO, Peru – Four young NC State track & field standouts will represent Team USA at the 2017 Pan American Junior Championships this weekend in Trujillo, Peru. Tim Bason (men's 3,000m steeplechase), Cravont Charleston (men's 4x100m relay), Gabriele Cunningham (women's 200m) and Dylan Peebles (men's 200m) are all set to compete in their respective events on Saturday, July 22.
Bason, who redshirted the 2016-17 track season, claimed a gold medal at the USATF Junior Championships in his first-ever 3,000m steeplechase. Finishing with a time of 9:15.40, he will represent Team USA as the No. 1 overall seed in the Pan Am Juniors event, set to start Saturday at 11:40 a.m. EST.
Charleston, the reigning ACC Outdoor Track & Field MVP, is scheduled to run in the 4x100m semifinal Saturday at 9:30 a.m. EST. The rising sophomore from Charlotte, N.C. earned a spot on the United States' 4x100m relay team after recently claiming bronze medals in the 100m and 200m dashes at the USATF Junior Championships. If Team USA places inside the top-8 in the semifinal, Charleston will compete in the 4x100m final at approximately 2:45 p.m. EST.
Cunningham will be the No. 3 seed in the women's 200m dash prelims, set for a 10:05 a.m. EST start Saturday. The Charlotte native clocked an NC State program record time of 23.26 at USATF Juniors, earning a silver medal and clinching a spot on USA's Pan Am Junior squad. If the seeds hold, Cunningham will compete in the women's 200m final at 12:30 p.m. EST.
On the men's side, Peebles will compete as the No. 6 seed in the 200m prelims at approximately 10:15 a.m. EST. The Raleigh native took home a silver medal at the USATF Junior Championships with a time of 20.95 in the finals. A rising sophomore, Peebles will look to improve on his personal-best 200m time of 20.87 that ranks 9th on NC State's all-time top-10 list. If he places inside the top-8 to advance to the final, Peebles will compete again at 12:40 p.m. EST.
