It is that time again when Silver Creek High School holds its annual Hampton-Phillips Track and Field Meet on March 29th, 2008. This will be the eighteenth year for the event, and it will be held at the world-class facility at San Jose City College.
Our previous meets have been extremely successful in involving young middle-and-high-school student athletes, as well as Special Olympians from within Santa Clara County, the Bay Area, Northern and Southern California, nearby states and even International teams. The Hampton-Phillips Classic has annually produced the best marks in the Central Coast Section and statewide, attracting perennial state powers such as J.W. North Riverside, Long Beach Wilson, James Logan of Union City and Merrill West of Tracy. We anticipate having as many as 100 high schools and up to 1500 athletes participating. There have been up to 7,000 spectators. The event requires hundreds of volunteers and tremendous support by the community. It is also a source of pride for the City of San Jose.
Silver Creek is one of only eight high schools in the nation to produce two Olympic Gold Medalists in Track and Field. Millard Hampton, a graduate of Silver Creek, won a Gold Medal at the 1976 Olympic Games in the 400-meter relay and a Silver Medal in the 200-meter dash. Andre Phillips, also a Silver Creek graduate, won a Gold Medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in the 400-meter hurdles. Both athletes graduated from Quimby Oak Middle School, Silver Creek High School, San Jose City College and UCLA.
