Nike Indoor Nationals is an incredible opportunity for any highschooler, and this year the team has the opportunity to enter into several championship races (the most rigorous time qualifying races). This meet is held in the armory in New York City, an incredibly historic building built in 1877. This indoor track holds many world championships, the millrose games, and incredible historic relevance in the track and field community. The Nike Indoor Nationals meet is the most competitive high school indoor track meet in the US, and an incredible feat to qualify for.
As well as Indoor Nationals, Nike hosts an outdoor nationals meet in the summer. Again, this is the most competitive meet in the country. The CCH guys have already qualified for this opportunity in June at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Hayward field is holding US olympic trials this summer as well, and is the most prominent outdoor facility in the US. This is the ultimate way for the Colonels to show what they are capable of.
Please encourage these runners with a gift that will allow them to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity.
