Meet Information

THIS IS A CLUB MEET, ANY HIGH SCHOOL AGE ATHLETE/RELAY TEAM CAN COMPETE, THEY MUST HOWEVER BE ENTERED UNDER EITHER THEIR CLUB TEAM, UNATTACHED, OR CREATE THEIR OWN NEW TRACK CLUB TO COMPETE. EMAIL MILESTAT TO CREATE YOUR CLUB TEAM TODAY!
Hosts and timers from multiple meets across the Commonwealth of Virginia are joining forces to host the (hopefully one and only) Summertime Showcase this July 10th at the University of Virginia. This meet will be run on Friday July 10th ahead of the Virginia Middle School State meet July 11th.
The meet is open to any athlete that would have competed in high school track during the 2020 outdoor track season. The meet will currently be open to athletes from all states but that may change pending what the governor allows. This meet is planned for this date but our ability to host it is 100% up to state/local/University officials allowing the meet to go on. The decision ultimately will be made by those folks and not just us track lovers... that is ultimately for the safety and well-being of our communities.
This meet is NOT sanctioned by the Virginia High School League or NFHS meaning only club teams may enter the meet. Athletes may also compete unattached (instructions below). To set up a new club team see below. Athletes may not compete in their school uniform either. Please reference the VHSL website here or reach out to Tom Dolan (Rules interpreter) with any questions.
All that being said, registration is now open! PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL JUNE 20th!!! We cannot send back money so please hold off on paying until after June 20th.

Teams will get their bibs and be shown where check-in will take place. From there teams can setup tents along the back turn and back stretch of the facility at the top of the hill.

Entry Fee: The entry fee is just that, an entry fee, not a competition fee. It is $15 per entry. That fee goes to paying the facility, officials, and timing equipment for this meet. Entry fees are due at the time of registration closing. If you pay and the meet cannot happen we will be refunding mostly all of the registration fee, the only nonrefundable portion will be things that are not refundable for us as well such as insurance, bibs, and meet supplies... though we don't have an exact number, we would expect to refund close to 90% of the entry cost if we had to cancel the event within about two weeks of the event happening. We obviously will be waiting until the last minute to purchase these just in case. If the event happens it will be the normal policy of it being an entry fee and not a competition fee.
Spectators: Fans, parents, and family can and are asked to come watch this meet to give these athletes a packed house and awesome atmosphere. It is $10 per spectator, children under a certain age will be admitted for free. Athletes competing are allowed in for free as well.
