The meet continues to grow each year, says chair Brett Lumley, who also serves as associate head coach of Lancer track and field.

“The sport of track and field is deeply rooted in our city’s commitment to athletic excellence with a strong history of great athletes, coaches and sport builders making Windsor the place to come to compete,” Lumley says. “We want to pack the stands and cheer on Canada’s athletes as they prepare for the 2024 Olympics.”
