Chicago, IL - On Monday May 15th, St. Ignatius College Prep Track will be home to the 2nd annual Chicago JV Showcase event put on by Chicago (Jones College Prep). Providing opportunities for the entire city to reap the benefits of some fabulous weather. Which projects to be in the upper 70s as we sit here today. As we know, Chicago weather sucks until about the last 2-3 weeks of May. Unfortunately during that time of the season a lot of teams have to cut down their rosters to only varsity athletes. Which means those athletes that trained all season long that did not make that cut are unable to reap the full benefits of their training.
The meet is built off the backbone of uniting the city together as one and bringing the public and private schools together. This is open to all athletes, almost as a last chance. With girls sectionals finishing the week before it could be a great last opportunity as well for some varsity athletes to enter the field and maybe try and get one last fast time if they didn't qualify for state. We do have limits on entries. We will only be accepting the top so many entries in each event to keep the night quick. You can find those limits below.
