BUNCHIE YOUNG: ELECTRIC, FAST, AND HAPPY

Up and coming athlete shows how he Crushes the Limits in his UA outerwear

He’s only 11 years old, but Maxwell “Bunchie” Young has already accomplished more on the field than most people twice his age. Two years ago, the Los Angeles native beat the 10-year-old record in the 100 meter sprint at the Region 15 Junior Olympics Track & Field Championships, and followed that up by winning the 200 meter sprint. Bunchie’s dreams go beyond the track, though; he’s also a star on the gridiron. Before reaching middle school, Bunchie had received scholarship offers from Division 1 collegiate football programs.

 

What makes this young athlete stand out is not only his stats and trophies, but the size of his dreams. Bunchie hopes to not only become the youngest Olympic gold medalist, he also wants to fund a cancer research foundation and serve as the Mayor of Los Angeles.

It’s not surprising then, that an accomplished athlete like Bunchie depends on gear that not only performs, but can take from him the field to the classroom without missing a beat. Featured in UA Youth’s #CrushTheLimits campaign, Bunchie is seen in the UA Day Trekker jacket – a lightweight transitional piece that provides warmth without the bulk and weight of a sweater. The jacket has a quilted insulation keeping the core warm, but the lightweight Armour Fleece sleeves and hood allow Bunchie to keep moving without limitation.

 

For the colder months, Bunchie’s go-to is the UA Print North Rim microfleece jacket, which incorporates key technology like the soft microfleece for lightweight warmth and water resistant ripstops. On top of that, the bold pattern with screen-print logos fit Bunchie's style perfectly.
