Ogden will host the first archery qualifiers for the Youth Olympic Games in July of 2009, according to the International Archery Federation.

The 2009 Youth Archery World Championships is expected to bring more than 450 athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 from more than 50 different countries to compete for titles and Olympic spots.

The organizing committee will be headed up by Greg Easton and Denise Parker, a three-time three time Olympian and the youngest medalist in the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

The competition will be held at Weber State University.
