TEMPE – Nearly 1,500 athletes will gather in Tempe for the 40th edition of one of the Valley's great and historic traditions, the Sun Angel Classic, April 4-6 at Sun Angel Stadium.
While the event is slated to begin on Thursday with more than 900 athletes from 53 area high schools participating in the high school sections, the Sun Devils and the rest of the collegians and post-collegiate athletes will lace up for competition on Friday and Saturday.
"One of the things that really saved the Sun Angel Classic was the introduction of the high school section, which was initiated by former coach Tom Jones," director of track and field Greg Kraft said.
