They are so fortunate to be able to go to Hayward Field. It is an absolutely top-notch, world-class facility for track-and-field. The world’s best-ever one-day event is held there — the annual Pre Classic.

My youngest son, baby boy, qualified for 4 events as a senior. It was such an amazing experience! He has been running since kindergarten (shout out to West Seattle Roadrunners). The energy was out of this world in Oregon this weekend. So many records broken nationally!

Congrats on such a fun opportunity! And a huge thank you to the coaches, especially Coach Doug Cooper for making it happen! The kids are lucky to have such a wonderful, supportive group of coaches.

This is a fantastic step forward for the program! The team gets very little funding from SPS and though they have qualified several teams and individuals, they will not be able to compete at the upcoming prestigious Jesuit Relays in Portland Oregon due to costs. Please consider donating to help them raise the $2000 needed to attend! Donations are tax deductible. Info is in this fundraising link. Thank you for considering! https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/west-seattle-high-school-track-and-field–2026
