The Meet. The Golden South Classic is a track and field
meet that is good for all. It provides a meet for high school athletes
to compete and showcase their talent, while, at the same time, benefiting
the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women.
The meet has a 27 year history with impressive records and its own Hall
of Fame. It's hosted by the First Academy at the Payne Stewart Athletic
Complex in the Warden Stadium. Complete with a mondo surface, the Warden
Stadium has a first class facility for a championship track and field
meet. It's named after the Warden Family, who contributed the facility
in support of track and field. Two years ago the meet was dedicated to
the memory of Bert Warden, a Warden family son, brother, track and field
star and enthusiast who died tragically in a water accident.
The Scene. For most people, the mention of Orlando
conjures up images of fun and play. It means DisneyWorld and fun in the
sun. What better place than this to celebrate the end of a track and field
season and the school year? From September to June, athletes are in school,
practicing, doing homework, competing on weekends -- all with little time
for hanging out and relaxing. At the Golden South Classic, athletes can
compete in track and field and also enjoy Orlando's activities and then
start rejuvenating for next season.
