The Christian Coleman Invitational was hosted by the Westlake Lions Track and Field team on March 15, 2025. Marked by the presence of Coleman’s girlfriend Sha’Carri Richardson, it was just another successful meet for the athlete trying to bring a competitive track and field event to the South Fulton community, which features some of the top talent around the state. What started in 2020, the 6th edition of the annual meet, had participation from around 30 schools in Georgia alone. After the meet, Coleman came out penning down an emotional message for the fans. And what did he say?
Coleman took to his Instagram, resharing a post made by the Hilights sports media. He captioned it, “Great turn out for the CC invitational. Truly motivational to receive so much love and be able to touch the youth in the sport that has given me so much. Already looking forward to next year.” Every year around a thousand students show up at the invitational to compete and to impress the three-time world champion. Motivated by such passion and his desire to promote the sport in the community, Coleman is already focused on next year.
The past 6 years have only seen growth in the CC Invitational. In 2022, the two-time Diamond League winner said in an Instagram post, “Looking forward to next year being even better!” posting a video of that year’s meet. 30 schools were participating in the meet that year. Turning to 2025, the field grew significantly, expanding to about 40 high school teams from Georgia alone, with additional teams from Florida and Alabama joining the competition. In the words of the Westlake coach, Jason Cage, “so it’s growing and it’s going nation wide.”
