The American Track League rolls into Texas this Friday night for its 4th stop on the tour which promises to revolutionize the sport of track and field. This FREE and high energy event featuring live music and the ATL dance team will be hosted by Texas State University in San Marcos (1100 Aquarena Springs Drive San Marcos, TX 78666). Many Olympic Heroes will be on hand for the competition which allows fans to get up close and personal with the competitors.
2-Time World Champion, Lolo Jones will seek her 2nd win on the tour in the 100m Hurdles, but it won’t come easy as she will have to face the very talented Olympic Bronze Medalist, Janay DeLoach.
The men’s 400m Hurdles will feature the “World’s Greatest Athlete”, Ashton Eaton. Ashton is the World and Olympic Champion and World Record holder in the Decathlon but this evening he will be trying his talents out on his new event, the 400m hurdles.
Brittney Reece will feature in the women’s Long Jump, an event where she too found Olympic Glory winning Gold in London 2012 to compliment her 5 World titles.
The rarely run 300m race will feature 3-Time Olympic Gold Medalist and former Baylor athlete, Jeremy Wariner.
The Men’s Pole Vault will include more local stars with Texas State’s own Logan Cunningham facing UT alum Trey Hardee, the latter of which is a 2-Time World Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist in the Decathlon.
The events which kick off at 7:00pm on Friday, will be hosted by master of ceremonies Paul Souza, the lead singer of the Velveteen Playboys. The main entertainment of the night will be the sounds and experience of award winning DJ, Abe the Assassin, and the girls of the ATL Dance team, led by Sabrina Clark, the “2011 NFL’s Hottest Cheerleader”.
