CHICAGO - Nov. 9, 2023 - PRLog -- BOWA Gives Girls' Invite, a track and field competition for Chicago area girls 5–18 years old, will be held Nov. 18 and 19 at the Dr. Conrad Worrill Track and Field Center at Gately Park in Chicago's Pullman neighborhood.

Throughout the first annual event, the young athletes will have opportunities to connect with former female student-athletes and current professional female athletes, including Chicagoan and 2023 World Championships silver medalist in the 400m hurdles Shamier Little and Olympian and Big Ten champion Anavia Battle (https://worldathletics.org/athletes/united-states/anavia-battle-14715397), to gain personal insights and lessons learned during their athletic careers.

The competition on Saturday, Nov. 18, is slated for 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday, Nov. 19, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Dr. Conrad Worrill Track and Field Center at Gately Park is at 10201 South Cottage Grove Ave. in Chicago and features a Mondo hydraulic banked track (https://www.mondoworldwide.com/na/EN/sport/Track-and-Field/Hydraulic-Track) with the company's Super X 720 (https://www.mondoworldwide.com/na/EN/sport/Track-and-Field/Sportflex-Super-X-720/) surface.
