Michael Johnson’s Grand Slam Track Files for Chapter 11 in Delaware

The league seeks debtor-in-possession financing through Chapter 11 to rebuild credibility.

Overview

  • Public filings list assets under $50,000, liabilities between $10 million and $50 million, and 200–999 creditors.
  • Athletes received roughly half of their prize and appearance money in October, and several vendors rejected an offer to take 50% of total invoices.
  • The petition was filed in Delaware and signed by Michael Johnson, COO Steve Gera, and attorney J. Rudy Freeman, with the case assigned to Chief Judge Karen B. Owens.
  • GST says it is finalizing debtor-in-possession funding and plans to use court-supervised reorganization to address debts and stabilize operations.
  • The inaugural season struggled with sparse crowds in Kingston, a shortened Philadelphia meet, a canceled Los Angeles finale, and subsequent staff cuts.
