Absolutely!  All Junior members (they are still Junior members even if they 
have their letter and met qualifications to ride unsponsored) are included 
in the statistics on 100 mile Junior riders.

I like supporting the kids and think that if they have been riding for a 
few years, and reach 12, 13, 14, etc. and are attempting 100's that they 
deserve a little applause and recognition.  I know that many do reach 14 
and get their letter, but rides like Tevis still won't let them ride 
unsponsored. Any one day 100 they do will count, sponsored or not -- so 
long as they are a Junior member.
