New this year - Thursday night DMR
One of the top quality meets in the East every year, the Loucks Games is not resting on its laurels. They are starting the meet one day early and running distance medley relays for the first time. Boys will run at 5:30 pm Thursday, and girls will run at 6:15 pm.

White Plains has famous alums - Three athletic alums of White Plains High School, site of the Loucks Games, are Craig Masback, CEO of USA Track and Field, winner of the Loucks 880 in 1973 and a career best of 3:52.02 in the mile; Larry James, silver medalist in the 1968 Olympic 400m and a member of the National Track and Field Hall of Fame (he couldn't win Loucks because the meet wasn't established yet when he came through high school); and Art Monk, double hurdles champion at Loucks in 1976 before he became one of the greatest pass receivers ever for the Washington Redskins.
