The meet will take place at Henry Crown Track & Field Stadium at the University of Chicago at 5550 South University Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
Henry Crown Field house features an athlete friendly atmosphere, upper deck seating, 200m Indoor Track and has been host to numerous National meets, and local Championship meets as well. The Varsity letter was invented in the 1890s by University of Chicago Track Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg as he was sitting on the entrance steps to Henry Crown Field house. The main wall of the stadium contains a list of field house records, which include several Olympians. The first Heisman Trophy winner (1935), Jay Berwanger is still listed on the all-time list for Henry Crown for the 55m Dash. Henry Crown Field house is a Chicago landmark that is rich in Track & Field history.
In 2010, Henry Crown Stadium was resurfaced with G-Flex surfacing. Outside of Europe, Henry Crown Stadium is the only Track in the United States with G-Flex surfacing. G-Flex Tracks are designed and built to the demands of the world's top athletes. Henry Crown Stadium is the best indoor track in Illinois. The CPS Indoor Championships will also be held on the G-Flex Track at Henry Crown Stadium on Sunday, March 20, 2011.
The Pasta Party will be a great Team building experience for the Northside Men's and Women's Track & Field Team.
On Friday, March 3, 2011, two buses will leave Northside College Prep at 5:00 pm for the University High Track & Field Extravaganza.
