RICHMOND, VA - MileStat, MileSplit, Virginia Tech, and Meet Management are excited to announce that the 2015 installment of the Virginia Tech High School Invitational will be streamed live across the entire country. Simply put, this is a big deal!
"The Virginia Tech Invitational every year produces many of the nation's fastest times in the country. It is no secret that some of the very best talent in the country for high school indoor track & field is found within Virginia and neighboring states Maryland and North Carolina. But once you finally get all of those great athletes finally on one of the fastest banked track found in the United states at Virginia Tech, US #1's and top 5 performances will be popping up event after event! We are excited to be working with Virginia Tech and meet director Dan Ward to give us this opportunity to show those national leaderboard shattering performances happen as they happen LIVE to the rest of the country! This is a meet that will be a thriller to watch from start to finish!" - Brandon Miles, MileSplit National Editor, Director of Premium Content.

In an effort continually improve every facet of our coverage, the Virginia Tech Invitational will be live streamed on MileStat and the entire MileSplit network. We will have roundtrack coverage for all events and video interviews of all the top performers. For those of you who are familiar with our coverage teams, we will have B. Miles running the live stream, Tommy Faigle manning the camera, myself (Nolan) shooting out tweets and interviewing the top performers, and photographers Jon Fleming and Lisa McArthur taking thousands of pictures!
We will not be stopping there either! Leading up to this event, Virginia Indoor Track's "Superbowl", we will be hammering out some of the best features and content you have ever seen! We will be previewing nearly every race, counting down the best performances and records set here, and going to practices to see how athletes and teams are getting ready! Be sure to keep an eye all month on MileStat as we prepare for this mega-meet.
" Never before has VA had a live event quite like this. I am personally so excited to not only have this here but to also share with the entire country how great VA T&F is. We have some of the best athletes in the entire nation and they deserve to be featured nationally."
Also, do not forget that registration closes Monday!
