The Hill School’s Director of Athletics Seth Eilberg has seen other communities host similar meets and proposed the idea of The Hill hosting a community meet.
“We have seen other communities run similar events, and we thought that, with our new facility, we could run a Pottstown track night,” Eilberg said.
