Currently, Dix is in talks with a premium headphone company in which he hopes to add to his sponsor team as well. While all of these companies have agreed to support the Olympian, he is still a free agent looking for shoe sponsorship.

We are still shopping around and checking with companies, but it hasn't taken any of the focus away from our main objective, which is to get out there and run fast! We can't wait to get started!" says Washington.

This weekend marks the fourth annual Walter Dix Invitational event. This is a major event in which Dix hosts for all high schools, allowing them to come and showcase their talents.

I remember my days running and I want to give the same chance to the youth so they can enjoy events like these in the same manner I did growing up," says Dix.

"Each year we have grown and enjoyed ourselves as well as the talent that is showcased. So far we've locked in 19 high school teams. We are looking forward to a great event!" says Washington.
