FOUNDER'S WELCOME LETTER
"Let’s be honest, nosebleed seats are not the same as courtside seats. Track and field traditionally doesn’t allow spectators to enjoy the field events from an intimate space, until now. Hear the sounds of a big-meet jump, feel the emotions of elite jumpers, and witness every attempt from feet away."
Keinan Briggs, Curator of LEAP Fest
Former professional triple jumper and 6th-place finisher at the 2011 USA Indoor Championships
