Register HERE! - WATCH LIVE! - Meet Info

Now the Maryland State Championships are over, time to think about what's next! Well its the DMV Meet of the Elite! That is next event that should be on everyone's calendar! This first year event is coming together very well with plenty of elite talent as well as numbers of teams and athletes planning to compete on Saturday, June 11th at Patriot High School in Nokesville, Virginia. Meet kicks off at 4 PM. 

The goal of this event is provide another post-season meet opportunity for high school track athletes in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area and beyond. We want to bring all the top talent together to face head to head that get unfortunately watered down and spread apart from facing each other in championship season with the multiple classifications or separated by state borders. State champions vs. state champions. Maryland's best vs. Virginia's best. Lets create more and more of these matchups in every event!

The event atmosphere should be fun, energetic, and loose. The vibe at this meet will definitely not be tense and sometimes too serious setting found at many of the in-season championship meet's at season end. We will be playing music during races. Uniform and jewelry rules relaxed with a very pro-athlete friendly meet setup.

This meet will also be LIVE streamed on MileSplit.com and be showcased nationally! WATCH HERE >
