Stadium continue to become the premier destination for track and field meets, we now have the
opportunity to showcase one of the best high school meets in the entire country.”
In honor of Coach Day, the partnership with William Raines High School will continue. "Raines
High School is ecstatic about the ongoing partnership with the Bob Hayes Invitational Track Meet
Organization and the opportunity to host the meet on the campus of the University North Florida's
Hodges Stadium," said Raines High School principal Vincent Hall. "The Executive Director, Greg
Coleman, and his team are continuing to focus on the opportunities this meet provides for
students."
This meet is sanctioned by National Federation of State High School Association and Florida High
School Activities Association and all Rules and Regulation of these associations will be in effect.
