The Brooks PR Invitational is a championship American middle school and high school track and field meeting held annually in Seattle, Washington. It has been described by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as "among the nation's most prestigious track meets".

Background

The meeting invites the top eight to sixteen fastest American middle school athletes and high school athletes of the year in each event to compete.

Events contested in the high school level include the 100 meters, 100 meter hurdles (girls), 110 meter hurdles (boys), 400 meters, 800 meters, one mile, and two miles. The middle school or junior level contests the 400 meters, 800 meters, and one mile.

History

Brooks PR began on February 24, 2011 as an indoor track and field meeting, held on the Dempsey Indoor track at the University of Washington. In the years following, it was changed to an outdoor post-season meet held in the summer.

In 2022, Simeon Birnbaum became the 17th U.S. high schooler to run a sub-4-minute mile at the meeting, running 3:59.51.

At the 2024 edition of the meeting, Cooper Lutkenhaus set a new United States freshman record in the 800 meters at the meeting, clocking 1:47.58. Drew Griffth set a new meeting record in the two miles, running 8:31.46. Behind him, Tyrone Gorze broke Steve Prefontaine's Oregon state record in the event.
