The legacy lives on — stronger, brighter, and more united than ever. For 50 years, the Northwest Track & Field Classic has been a place where athletes, families, and fans come together to celebrate excellence, diversity, and community.

This milestone isn’t just about honoring the past; it’s about building a future where every runner, jumper, and thrower feels seen, supported, and inspired. Together, we carry the tradition forward — and the legacy continues with all of us.

🏅Coach’s Tribute: “More Than a Title”

They didn’t just coach. They cultivated character.

In every whistle blown, every early morning practice, every word of encouragement or correction — A coach builds more than athletes. They build leaders. They build legacy.

They saw potential before it was visible. They believe when others doubt. They stand firm when the road gets tough — and teach us to do the same.

From the track to the classroom, from the field to the community, their influence echoes in every life they touch. Their lessons live on in how we show up, how we serve, and how we strive.

Today, we honor not just what they do — but who they were. A mentor. A motivator. A model of excellence.
