West Allis Athletic Complex

​Update: REGISTRATION IS OPEN! --> Distance Meet Registration

Please sign up athletes by the night of May 15th to help with meet set up! Email machxc@gmail.com if you have any issues registering.

West Allis Hale is excited to host a fast night of racing on the mondo track. The event is designed to bring together the fastest high school runners in Wisconsin. The atmosphere will be electric with music playing under the lights of night racing. The true 2021 prom will be the dance under the lights against fast competition at the Hale track!

There will be two sessions with the second session having the fastest races. Both sessions should be a great opportunity to race fast and run personal bests on the state’s fastest track! Please look at the entry requirements below before considering if you have athletes who qualify to compete.

Athletes/coaches are encouraged to bring previously used shoes/spikes to donate to One World Running and local homeless shelters.

You will get a PRO running sticker for donating. Oh, and it's just a great thing to do!

Entry Consideration
This event is for your top distance individuals. We know most teams will have team meets this day but we are trying to get the top distance runners to wait to race until night time under the lights on the mondo track. We have a lot of great commitments already and I will start posting athletes competing soon.

The missed 2020 season may impact the ability to provide quality marks. You can use a performance from anytime in the athlete’s athletic career. Unattached races can be used as well if they have verifiable results. If no performances exist but you have an idea of the athlete's actual fitness, please put in a legit estimate of what they can run so they are placed in the correct race.
