(Atlantic, Iowa) – Members of the Atlantic School Board are expected to act, Wednesday evening, on approving the renaming of the Annual Trojans Track & Field Invitational. During a previous Board meeting, it was proposed the event be named after Coach Bruce Henderson, who has one of the best records of achievement in Girls Track and Field in Iowa. If approved, the 2022 event – dubbed the Bruce Henderson Invitational – would be the first varsity track meet Atlantic hosts on the new track and facility upgrade.

Athletes would receive medals with a portrait of Coach Henderson, a hall-of-famer who believed in all of his athletes, and how they could contribute to the team and make themselves better. The Board’s meeting takes place 6-p.m. Wednesday, in the Schuler Elementary School Media Center.
