This past weekend, the Light Horse Track Club welcomed over 300 athletes to its second annual Down The Stretch Track Fest! The meet was a resounding success, with spectators having the opportunity to witness a world record in a women’s masters’ 4x800m relay and several very fast mile races in the men’s and women’s Webb miles. Spirits are high as the critics* agree that “track is back” in Northern Virginia.
