The 2008 U.S. Youth Climbing Team for lead and speed climbing was finalized July 13 at the Youth National Championships in Sunnyvale, California. U.S. team members from the three oldest age groups, as well as reigning continental champions, are invited to the 2008 IFSC Youth World Championship in Sydney, Australia, at the end of August.
