Welcome to the 2009 adidas Track Classic!

For the fifth year, adidas is proud to bring world-class track and

field to The Home Depot Center here in Carson. Last year, among

other highlights, fans were treated to another American Record in

the pole vault by Jenn Stuczynski, a world-leading run by American

Shannon Rowbury in the Women’s 1500m, and a meet record

from Olympic gold medalist Jeremy Wariner in the Men’s 400m.

The adidas Track Classic promises even more excitement this

year, as we approach the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

Approximately 160 top athletes from 19 countries are expected

to compete here as their Olympic campaigns begin in earnest,

including:

magazine for 2007
