Salt Lake City, July 13, 2009—This past weekend Team PRG members Nick Picarella (Chester Springs) and Solomon Barth (Collegeville) took home the Silver and Bronze medals, respectively, for their age group at the summer Youth National Championships. Making the accomplishments all the more impressive, this was the first National Championship Nick had attended, and only the second for Solomon, who is also the current North American Continental Champion for his age group. These placements qualify both competitors for the US Youth National Team, and an opportunity to represent the country in the next Continental Games in 2010. Solomon also took home a silver medal for the Speed Climbing discipline and earned a place on the US Speed Team.

Over 400 of the best youth competitors from all over the country attended the event in Salt Lake City, UT. Overall Team PRG, the Philadelphia Rock Gym’s own youth climbing team, placed two athletes on the US Climbing Team for the Difficulty discipline, and one for the Speed Climbing discipline, placing 12^th overall in the team competition.

Congratulations to all Team PRG members!
