 The 2012 Windy City Classic Relays includes the most talented field ever assemled for a meet in Chicago thanks to the sponsorship efforts of Elzie Higginbottom and Dr. Conrad W. Worrill, and the support of Mayor Rahm Emmanuel . The meet features some of the best high school teams in the Midwest including Detroit, Michigan Track powerhouse, Mumford High School, East St.Louis Flyers, Milwaukee Bradley Technical, Austin, Dunbar, Foreman, Hyde Park, Morgan Park, Northside College Prep, North Lawndale, Simeon, Steinmetz, Von Steuben, Westinghouse, Providence St.Mel, Urban Prep, Brooks, Clark, Corliss, Crane, Gage Park, Harlan, Lindblom, Orr, Prosser, Julian, Englewood, and Wendell Phillips.  

 One of the sponsors of the Meet is Elzie Higginbottom, the owner of Eastlake Management Corporation. Higginbottom ran for Bloom Township High School, and was State Champion in the 400m run. After a successful collegiate career, he also became a star in the world of real estate, and his company, East Lake Management Corporation currently employs over 500 people. He credits Track and Field for his success in the world of business and economics, and donated thousands of dollars to make the Windy City Classic Relays the most competive meet in Chicago, and to give each athlete a special experience, including "goody bags" for all participants filled with Track and Field items. 

  Elzie Higginbottom and Dr. Conrad W. Worrill are the founders of "Friends of Track and Field", an organization with a mission of providing each Chicago Public School Track athlete the opportunity, motivation, and inspiration to reach his or her full potential by encouraging them to develop endurance, speed, strength, discipline, and self-esteem that will prove to enchance their overall academic development and career success.

 There have been many famous pre-meet banquet speakers during the history of the Windy City Classic Relays, but the two that had the biggest impact on Northside athletes were Willie Williams and Bob Beamon. 

  Willie Williams (in 1956, broke Jesse Owens' World record in the 100m Dash), addressed the Mustangs and all teams in attendance at a pre-meet banquet in 2008.

 Willie Williams told the athletes that after losing a race to his sister, he joined the Track Team, because he wanted to learn how to become fast enough to beat her in a race. One day, Olympic legend Jesse Owens came to his school. After meeting Jesse Owens, he rushed home after practice to tell his mother, that he learned the secret from Owens, and that he will never lose another race. His mother asked him, how come he will never lose another race? Willie Williams told his Mother that Jesse Owens told him that if he listened to his coaches, teachers, and parents, he would never lose. Willie Williams followed that formula and went on to break Jesse Owens world record in the 100m dash.

 In 2009,1968 Olympic Gold Medalist Bob Beamon addressed Northside athletes on the eve of the Windy City Classic Relays at the historic Parkway Ballroom. Bob Beamon was the first athlete to long jump over 28 feet. His Olympic record (29 ft. 2 1/2 inches) still stands today, forty-three years later. Bob Beamon has been inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame as well as the Olympic Hall of Fame. Sports Illustrated ranked his jump as one of the five greatest sports moments in the 20th century.

 Bob Beamon told the athletes that he "jumped" at the 1968 Olympics, and that he has never come down. Beamon stressed to the athletes the importance of self-confidence, and believing in yourself, and the positive impact Track & Field has had on his life. At the age of 15, Bob Beamon jumped 24'0 feet in a long jump competition, and it changed his life forever, and got him out of a bad environment, in which none of his friends survived. Bob Beamon continues today to give back to the sport, by helping disadvantaged Track & Field athletes. The Bob Beamon Organization for Youth, helps disadvantaged scholar athletes throughout the nation.

 After a two years absense, the Northside Varsity Women have been invited to compete in the Windy City Classic Relays on Saturday, April 21, 2012 at Hanson Stadium to take on the strongest field in Chicago.

 Olympian Lacey O'Neal will address the athletes at the historic Parkway Ballroom at 4455 S. King Drive, Chicago, Illinois, from 5 pm - 7 pm, on Friday, April 20, 2012.

 Lacey O'Neal began sprinting and hurdling in her natvie Hawaii, though her team had little funds. They ran on a grass or dirt track and had difficulty going to meets on the mainland. She managed to make two Olympic Teams, in 1964 and 1972, and also competed for the US twice in dual meets in 1961 against the Soviet Union and West Germany. She attended the University of Hawaii and ran for Sports International Track Club. O'Neal had personal bests in the 100m of 11.70 (1972), 100m Hurdles - 13.1 (1972), and Shot Put - 38'11 (1972).

 The 4x100m Relay was scratched due to Junior Priscilla Vasquez not notifying the coaching staff in time (emailed coaching staff at 10 pm, the night before the meet) to get a replacement runner. The Northside season schedule is published in November. Meet entries are made a week in advance. Meet packets are distributed in practice every Monday and also made available online. It was also announced everyday in practice, to let the coaching staff know immediately if your not available for a meet during Spring break. Athletes can't wait until the night before a meet to notify the coaching staff that they will not be able to attend. First, most host schools will not allow a substitution after the registration deadline for the meet entries has passed. Second, there is always an athlete sitting at home, who is not entered in the meet because of entry limitations, that could have been in the meet with proper notice. Third, it is unfair to the TEAM, and coaching staff. Three girls came prepared to compete in the 4x100m relay at the St.Viator Invitational, and did not get the opportunity to run because one athlete failed to notify her teammates or the coaching staff until 10 pm, the night before the meet that she would not attend. Northside Sophomore Onah Bosen did not get to compete at all in the meet, because the 4x100m Relay was her only event. Individual decisions, such as skipping a practice or meet, effect teammates, and the success of the Team. Let's hope the TEAM learned a lesson from Priscilla Vasquez mistake, and this incident does not happen again this season. Thanks.
