Percy Knox Invitational

Feel free to browse our website and see why everyone is talking about the

Percy Knox Invitational TM

 

Antelope Valley Press

"The Percy Knox Invitational is rapidly becoming one of the more prestigious track and field meets in the region"

The Los Angeles Daily News

"The track meet at College of the Canyons attracted some of the top runners in the state.  The boys 100-meter race featured three of the

top runners in California: Randall Carrol from Cathedral, Adam Long from St. Bernard's and Austin Shanks from Crespi.

All three topped the best recorded time in the 100 meters in the state this year, set by Nick Mixion of Vista Murrieta."

The Signal

And taking it all in from the crow's nest above the press box at Cougar Stadium was longtime Antelope Valley athlete coach

Percy Knox. According to meet director Tim Wells, the Percy Knox Foundation was established by a group of coaches who

wanted inspire kids to excel through athletics. Wells said naming the organization after Knox was a way to recognize the

73-year-old track and field icon's contributions to the local community. Knox said his interest in helping young people

though athletics is as keen as ever. "I'm in favor of anything that keeps kids busy, keep them from getting into trouble

and so forth," Knox said.

Athletes of the Week

Girls

Erin Reid, Poly

"Reid, a senior on the Jackrabbits's track and field team, won two individual events and set the fastest

time in the state in the 100 meters at the Percy Knox Invitational track meet at College of the Canyons

on Saturday.  In addition to winning the 100 meters (12.19 seconds), Reid won the long jump, helping the jackrabbitson

on their way to winning 10 events at the meet." 

The Daily Breeze

Burning up the track

 "St. Bernard's Adam Long ran an impressive double at the Percy Knox Invitational in Santa Clarita, taking second

in the 100 (10.70) and winning the 200 (21.56), beating out Inglewood's Antwaine Miller (21.85)."

San Francisco Chronicle

Northern California schools continue to put out top athletes

"Webb would just as soon forget an injury-filled 2007 season, especially among his girls

who return one of the top sophomores in the state in Brianna Stewart, who won the

Percy Knox invitational in Southern California 100 hurdles last week 13.85."

Question: People ask us all the time, how come your meet is not a feature meet on the online track and field website.  Answer: We don't believe in paying online websites to report on our meet, or pay online reporters to build up our meet. This in our opinion is biased reporting, we would rather earn it the old fashion way. Our marks, and our growth, speak for itself. No matter what you call it: payola, pay to play or plain old kick backs, we feel that its wrong.
