The Brooks PR Invitational has evolved over the years. The meet began as an indoor meeting, and the idea was simple: bring together some of the finest high school track & field athletes, and let them run fast, very fast. The meet was held at the end of the indoor season. Then, the meeting moved outdoors. Now, in 2018, a new ranking program for high school teams provides a unique approach, as over 1500 school teams and 150,000 athletes are involved! A great idea!
