CANCELLED Trinity / Valkyrie Invitational MS/ES 2020

Louisville, KY

Meet Information

Recent decisions by the Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) system and the Louisville Catholic Schools Athletic Association (CSAA) have greatly impacted the Friday portion of the 2020 Trinity Invitational / Valkyrie Invitational.
On Monday, August 24th, the JCPS School Board voted to postpone the start of Middle & Elementary School fall sports to September 28th. On Wednesday, August 19th, the CSAA Board of Directors voted to cancel all fall sports for Catholic Grade Schools in Louisville.
The teams from these two school systems comprise nearly the entire portion of the race field on Friday.Therefore, all races on Friday are now cancelled.It is likely these races will not be rescheduled for a later date.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. Trinity High School and Sacred Heart Academy are thankful for your support of this long-standing event.

Until further notice, Kentucky high schools are only permitted to compete against schools located in Kentucky or located in a county that directly borders KENTUCKY. These strategies are being implemented in an effort to address social distancing and combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are still awaiting details from the Governor, KHSAA, Board of Education, and Health Department. These details could greatly change the format of the event as it relates to number of races, entries, and fans. These changes could change the event late in the process.
