Field events will begin at 9:30am with the 4x800 beginning at 10:00am. Running event finals will begin at 11:00 with the 100h/110h. Long Jump, Shot Put and Discus will be 3 jumps/throws and then finals.

We will be using Milesplit for entries. The window for entries is currently open and will close at noon on Thursday, March 28. There will be scratches on a Google form document sent out after entries close. Please complete these prior to 8:15am on Saturday, March 30.

We will be following the same format as last year with an 8 school invitational (top 2 performers) for the HS and an 8 school invitational (top performer in lane events & field events, top 2 in distance) for MS. This will create 2 heats/flights of HS and 1 heat/flight of MS all FAT timed.

We look forward to seeing all coaches and your athletes at our invitational. We're hoping for some great weather this year! Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. 

Tickets will be sold at the gate $5 Adults and $2 Students. Cash Only.
