This indoor season, we’ve all been spoiled. It seems that every weekend, another record is in jeopardy of being erased. When will the madness end?

There’s something in the water in Grosse Pointe South, Michigan. In its third year, Brooks PR has managed to select four girls from this special team to travel to the Dempsey. If they all could somehow specialize in different events, then they would have a relay squad to end all relay squads. Sometimes, things are too good to be true. After already running 11:37.11 (#3 all-time) this indoor season, the distance medal relay squad of Haley Meier, Kelsie Schwartz, Ersula Farrow, and Hannah Meier travel to Seattle to test themselves against the best in the nation. Hannah Meier and Farrow will compete in the 800m, Haley will try the mile (Hannah won it last year), and Schwartz will compete in the 2-mile. But the Brooks PR Invitational isn’t all about Grosse Pointe South. This Sunday's evening affair truly brings the best of the best from all across the nation to compete on the fastest. Milesplit’s Aaron Rich breaks down each event and explains what you should watch out for when you watch the Brooks PR Invitational LIVE on Flotrack. Milesplit’s Brooks PR Girls Preview Other than this astounding fact about Michiganders (there are other studs from MI at the Dempsey, too), we’ve listed the current personal bests of all of the athletes below. We say “current” because historically, those marks don’t survive the magic of the Dempsey and Brooks PR. Tune in at 6:30pm ET to watch the best high school indoor meet in the nation, the Brooks PR Invitational.

This week, we’ll be live on Flotrack Thursday afternoon to Sunday evening. Yes that's right - four consecutive days of live track and field from around the world. I’d consider investing in an ergonomic chair because you may be parked at your computer for quite some time. Below is the short schedule of where we’ll be broadcasting from, how you can watch it, and what to watch out for.

Erin Finn has been doing big things this indoor season. Well, that's a misnomer - it hasn't really been a true "indoor" season for her. In addition to blazing some early season marks, she's competed at the NACAC XC championships and USA XC championships. We catch up with the Michigan-bound senior before she makes the trip to Seattle to once again compete at the Brooks PR Invitational.
The Brooks PR Invitational is less than one month away. Who's already received a golden ticket to run with the fastest at the fastest? Check the entry list below.
