Meet Information
Coaches,
The Kellie Wells Classic is back! The former James River Invitational was renamed in honor of our Olympian alum Kellie Wells Brinkley. After missing the last two seasons we are pumped to be back! This will be a great opportunity for you and your team to run, jump, and throw at a great facility. Kellie is extremely excited for this day to see great local and distant talent! Our meet will have 3 Events Open to Middle Schools(100, 400, 1600) as well. Be sure to communicate this to your feeder schools. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
