To the starting line in…
The 2027 Dick Dei Track Classic will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2027. For planning purposes, Easter Sunday falls on March 28, 2027.
“Through economic downturns, snowstorms, and a pandemic, the Dick Dei Track Classic continues to fulfill Dick’s vision of a highly competitive meet.”
The Dick Dei Track Classic is one of the Ohio Valley’s premier high school track and field events, bringing together top athletes from across West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Founded in 1978 by Wheeling Park’s first track coach, Dick Dei, the meet was built on the belief that athletes and teams improve by competing against strong competition.
For nearly five decades, the Classic has continued that tradition while honoring the legacy and vision of its founder.
