UK HIgh School Invitational Indoor Track Meet

[LexVegas]

The Wildcat Classic will be this Saturday (Feb 20) at UK's indoor track. This is Ky's premier indoor High School meet with athletes from 20 states attending.

 

You can check here to see if your favorite athlete is competing and the complete event schedule.

 

UPDATED: UK HS Invitational Accepted List & Schedule

 

You may notice that most athletes are not listed by school but rather track clubs. There are some odd rules regarding track events in some states. They have rules restricting their schools from competing against schools that aren't sanctioned by their own state thus the track clubs. Many of Fayette Countys athletes are competing as Fayette County track club but mileage varies from state to state and county to county.

 

It will be a good opportunity for the Ky athletes to see how they stack up against some of the best in the nation as there are multiple top nationally ranked High School athletes scheduled to compete. Its not your ordinary "show up and run" meets, as everyone had to submit times and marks and they only took the top entrants in each event.

 

Should be a good show if you're looking for some track and field action and you're close to Lexington. The milesplit site will be doing live results if you can't make it down in person.

Those rules are actually used by all sports, the reason you dont see the games with Oak Hill in basketball anymore is because Oak Hill isnt part of the high school federation in their state. Track being a team and individual sport allows us to compete in the meet just not for your school. I will be there tomorrow to watch my nephew from Florida compete. Also cant wait to see all the Kentucky athletes. We have several highly ranked athletes in the sprints and jumps!

Shout out to Michael Schulte from CCH representing NKY with a 5th Overall in shot put.

And if you count Mason County as NKY (most people don't - it's kinda central northeast KY), Jay Stanley finished 4th in the shot.

First off, let me apologize for using the wrong name for the meet in the title. It was the UK high School Invite, not the Wildcat Classic, which was a couple of weeks ago.

 

Second, what a great day it was at Nutter yesterday. UK once again put on a great meet and the athletes really responded with some great performances. I won't even attempt to list them but there were 250 national gold level elite performances, 443 Silver Elite, and 791 Bronze elite. There were numerous national top 10 marks set and our athletes from Kentucky didn't let all of the out of state competitors take home all the hardware. Our Kentucky kids showed they were more than ready to compete on a national level with the best in the country.

 

Congrats to all of the athletes who competed yesterday!!!
