One of the most decorated track and field athletes to come out of Ouachita Parish in recent memory is about to take her game to the world stage.

LSU javelin thrower and West Monroe High School product Rebekah Wales will make her debut for Team USA in the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships July 22 to 27, 2014 in Eugene, Oregon.

Wales was one of just two female javelin throwers to qualify after 18 girls recently attempted to make the team in Oregon.
