Kylie Neira, Brison Sullivan to compete at USATF U20 Championships

[ASFN Admin]

Two Volusia County athletes are making the journey to the Pacific Northwest to participate in USA Track and Field’s Under-20 Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, beginning on June 18.

Former DeLand pole vaulter and current Florida International freshman Kylie Neira and recent New Smyrna Beach graduate Brison Sullivan will compete in the event to potentially earn spots in the U20 World Championships in August.

Neira graduated in 2025 as Volusia County’s only pole vault state champion since the turn of the millennium, doing so twice in Class 4A. She’s already made history at FIU with a 4.22-meter vault that set the Panthers’ freshman record and was the third-highest in program history.

Sullivan will begin the first part of his summer break competing in the javelin after finishing high school. Sullivan won the Class 3A javelin championship with an FHSAA-record throw of 65.21 meters, placing him ninth in the United States among high schoolers.

Neira and Sullivan will compete simultaneously at 3 p.m. Eastern on the meet’s opening day.
