The Southern Track Classic celebrated its 10th year of existence on Friday evening at Sports Backers Stadium with another year of ideal weather and great competition.

Accepted entries/performance list for the 2009 Southern Track Classic to be held Friday, May 8th at Sports Backers Stadium in Richmond, VA.
Some meets bill themselves as “classics” and “elite” meets. Over the past decade the Southern Track Classic has filled those descriptions. The meet was founded in 1999 by then Dinwiddie Principal, Dan Ward and Dinwiddie Track Coach (now Colonial Heights Principal) John Keeler as an opportunity for central region schools to compete in a national class competition. During that time the STC has produced more top 15 U.S. performances than all other Virginia regular season meets combined. A thumbnail sketch of each meet follows... Note: Southern Track Classic entry deadline is Wednesday, April 22nd on Direct Athletics
