For nearly 40 years, St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School has hosted the Annual Draper Track & Field Invitational named for General Philip Draper in the spring. This longstanding event always brings out exciting competition! In 2019 more than 850 high school athletes from 35 schools in the Virginia-Maryland-Washington, D.C. area participated.  For more information, please contact Meet Director Shannon Fusina. 

The Draper Invitational Track and Field Meet is named in honor of Major General Philip H. Draper, Jr. who generously contributed the six-lane, all-weather, 400-meter track to St. Stephen's school in 1981. General Draper, father of Anne Draper deCamp '56 and grandfather of David Newton '82 and Robert Newton '76, is a former athletic director and 1929 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.

The track, dedicated in 1981, was the site of the first annual invitational track meet on April 30, 1982 under the direction of Athletic Director Mr. Albert L. "Sleepy" Thompson and Meet Director Mr. Jim Osuna.
