Our goal is to bring together the best varsity athletes in Oregon, Northern California and British Columbia for a high quality, competitive track meet that honors the spirit of the late Steve Prefontaine, who graduated from Marshfield in 1969. We hope to gather outstanding competitors from small schools and large schools alike. Our Atlas Poly track and field event venues are first rate. With our FAT system, we run multiple-heat seeded finals.

The entry fee is $10 per athlete or $125 maximum if you bring more than 12 athletes. Only two varsity athletes per event, please. If you have a third competitive athlete, please email me and we'll discuss entry. We also stage a masters' mile competition at 1:40, immediately following the high school mile events. Entry fee is $5 per athlete. If you're an adult staff member of a registered team, we're happy to waive the $5 entry fee.
