there should be more track meets like this. its a shame that the only time this country gives this sport any attention is during a pre-olympic year. track and field is the ultimate competitive sport,it deserves much more complete coverge especially in the field events(i.e long and triple jumps).

One of the worst High School meets I have seen in years. All of the athletes ameteur status will be in question after they were used for advertising. Keep up all the good work and seperate the athletes from the product in the future, and to those that ran, we appreciate all your efforts in showcasing your talent. Very nice to also see local runners in the top of the nation.

What do you think the NXN is? How about the Dream Mile? Why do you think companies sponsor Foot Locker?

Get over yourself dude.

Alright look I ran in the meet and to anyone who wants to rag on it please don't. You were not involved and didn't get to share in the experience. It was an amazing event and I felt honored to be involved in it. Thank you brooks for giving me an experience that I will cherish for a long time!

how can it be a terrible venue if all the runners in it loved it? it was an awesome idea to get a bunch of great athletes together, they got tons of free stuff. they do the same at nxn/footlocker. is that exploitation too?

Props to Brooks for hosting this. We need to support a shoe company for trying new things to put some fire into the sport. Let them keep trying by supporting them and giving feedback but don't be harsh about it.

Excellent meet, excellent commentary, excellent results! Anyone who thinks differently has no desire to see our sport gain more attention in the US and should not even be on this website let alone following USA track and field. Great job Flotrack and Brooks!

For those of you saying it didn't produce enough fast times or whatever... Here is a list of what was produced:

G 60m - # 1 (by a ton), 5
G 60m H - #2, 5, 8, 10
G 400m - #1, 2, 5, 9
G 800m - #2, 6
G Mile - #1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10
G 2 mile - #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10

B 60m - #1, 2, 4, 8
B 60m H - #3, 5, 6, 9
B 400m - #1, 8
B 800m - #1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
B Mile - #2, 3, 4, 9, 10
B 2 Mile - #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

All in all, 56 top ten performances.... 12 events... Quick meet and fast times. Of course it would be awesome for kids to run PR's, but it isn't even March yet. Also, ask any one of those kids what kind of experience they had. I'm sure that was the goal for Brooks.

Nope, you can't. In fact I'm going to have to report you to Brooks. Just wait for the knock on your front door.

the guy in the first heat of hurdles false started in the 60m hurdles...what is brooks going 2 do?!*

This was a great meet all the way around. Hope it continues. Our one regret: The "Anonymous coward," whose posts are truly the posts of a coward, are reflective of his illiteracy, and who, in general, is an ass-hole. We will work with Brooks to identify the actual identity of this poster through the "fingerprint" of his computer and network by tracking back the posts. Thanks again, Brooks.
