The Nike Outdoor Nationals were held in Eugene, Ore., and the Adidas track nationals came to Greensboro, N.C.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>This is not a new occurrence. There has long been an overlap between open, registration-based national championships. Beside from medaling, these meets serve as a massive marketing opportunity for their sponsors. Famously, competitors at all three meets are given out free backpacks with the title sponsor\u2019s logo on them.

Because of this, Dumas competed this past weekend in Eugene a day after running in the USATF U20s on the same track. At the Nike Nationals, she ran a 52.21 seconds in the 400-meter dash, placing first.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><svg><g><g><g><\/g><\/g><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, 18-year-old Olympian Quincy Wilson of the Bullis School is signed to New Balance.

Just knowing how grand that this meet makes everyone feel. Even if you\u2019re dead last in your heat, you feel elite just walking in and being able to say that you got your [backpack].\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The New Balance Nationals have only operated since 2022, following a split from the National Scholastic Athletic Foundation, a nonprofit that operates and supports high school track competitions. New Balance had partnered with the NSAF from 2010 to 2019 as the national meet\u2019s title sponsor. Then, it was New Balance that called Greensboro home \u2014 not Adidas. Nike has been partnered with the NSAF since the nonprofit split from New Balance. Today, many see Nike and New Balance as the \u201cpremier\u201d national meets with Adidas trailing behind. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1337\">With a city funding plan in place, Mayor Parker is headed to Harrisburg for help to shore up school finances<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIn general, I think New Balance has the most competition,\u201d said Patrick Logan, who attends Grafton High School in Virginia and ran in the boys\u2019 400-meter dash. \u201cNike has some big names, but I think, in general, New Balance is just a more competitive meet and it\u2019s on the East Coast, so it\u2019s easier for me to get to.\u201d <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>\u2018Bring it back to Jersey\u2019<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The weekend brought competition from all over the country, but two runners from South Jersey showed out.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>On Friday, Pennsauken senior Sianni Wynn won the 100-meter girls\u2019 championship with a personal-best 11.27 seconds.
