Julian Bautista took a bronze medal in his age group, and Sasha Digiulian finished just off the podium in fourth place at the World Youth Championships in Valence, France. The annual lead and speed climbing competitions are for climbers in three age groups, from 14 to 19.
More than a dozen American climbers made the semifinals in their age groups. Among the other top performers were Michaela Kiersch, who fought her way into the finals in lead climbing; Dana Riddle, who missed a bronze medal in speed by only two-hundredths of a second and finished 14th in lead climbing; Josh Levin, who finished sixth in speed and made the semifinals in lead; and Marissa Stephens, who placed eighth in speed.
More than 700 climbers from 39 countries competed in the World Youth Championships.
