The VA Showcase over four years and eight days of competition has amassed 10 national records, 71 US #1's, and three U20 world records. This year though, could be the best one yet. Not to mention, this meet is now going to be at the new Virginia Beach Sports Center, the new home of NCAA Nationals for four years.
Meet management has given MileSplit the exclusive early look into some of the big names and club teams attending and it has us hopeful there is at least one meet to look forward to this indoor season.
