WMNS Air Jordan 1 High OG First in Flight FD2596-400 | The Perfect Memphis Grizzlies Jordan
The Houston Classic is one of the biggest track meets of the year in the Memphis region. Teams travel from hours away to challenge themselves in a competition built around an open and invite format. On Day 1 the only invite/varsity events are Field activities. The “Open” format allows high schools to gauge the athletes who are improving performance. A host of these kids earned PRs and Season’s Best performances with times and jumps that would have earned them an invite to Day 2 if the performances happened earlier in the season.
On Day 2 the big guns of area high school track and field landed. The weather was hot and so were the performances in front of Puma Sponsored legend Asafa Powell, who held a meet and hail with the high school athletes at the Houston Classic prior to the start of the Varsity Qualifier’s Day 2 Events. Day 2 athletes had to have a qualifying time to compete in events on Saturday. This led to a host of amazing performances. The amazing Austin McCall smashed the meet record for the 200m and leads the state of Tennessee in that event.
Below is a playlist of videos. Full coverage is available on Milesplit. I was only able to capture a few events as the place was packed and it was difficult to find angles.
