Adidas Kicks off Second Annual Golden Stripes Track and Field Series

High School Runners Earn a Chance to Check Their Speed against Elite Runners at the adidas Grand Prix

Golden Stripes gathers athletes from all over the country to compete in one of three events throughout the track and field season. The top finishers from each event will win the opportunity to travel to New York City in June to compete in the Dream 100 and Dream Mile at the adidas Grand Prix. Once the track and field season ends adidas Golden Stripes switches gears and changes its focus to cross country. Through September and October, high school teams have the opportunity to gather and compete at one of three cross country meets around the country.

Flotrack will share series highlights including race previews, recaps and athlete profiles at www.adidasgoldenstripes.com. The feature stories will focus on three top contenders and their quest to break national records: Marvin Bracy to break :10 in the 100M; Edward Chesereck’s to break 4:00 in the mile; and Cami Chapus’ to break the girl’s national record in the mile.
