Track and Field athletes from throughout Alaska, representing many of the best of Alaska’s high school track stars, competed at the Brian Young Track and Field Invitational Meet in Kodiak on June 4th and 5th. The meet was certified by USATF Alaska and held at the Joe Floyd Track in Kodiak.

The Brian Young is an invitation only, fully sponsored meet, designed to give big school and small school athletes the opportunity to compete against and learn from each other.
