Bradley V. Urschel Track & Field Invitational

The Bradley V. Urschel Track & Field Invitational has been in existence since 1997. The meet originally started out as collaborative effort by St. Mark’s School of Texas and Lexington Academy back in 1994. In 1997, St. Mark’s decided to rename the meet in honor of Bradley V. Urschel, St. Mark’s class of 1979. The format of the meet is structured as an opportunity for Private School athletes, both Middle and Upper school, to compete in an environment that fosters good competition, fair play, and respect for others. St. Mark’s goes to great length to ensure that every athlete gets a time or mark and has a great experience. This meet is the largest of its kind in Texas. In the past years, we have welcomed over 1,400 athletes as well as their coaches, family, and friends for two days of great competition.
