Brooks PR Spike Contest Winners
 
We have a winner in the Brooks PR Spike Contest - six winners, actually, one for each spike. These athletes competed throughout the season, posting the best times they ran in their Brooks spikes. The athlete’s time, venue run, and city will be printed on each spike so that everyone will know what the fastest time run by a high school athlete was in each spike the previous year. Next track season, each spikes will again be named after the fastest time run in that spike by a high school athlete...they already have a mark to shoot for!

Check out the winners below.
