Why You Should Come to the Castro Valley Invitational
We offer a meet geared specifically for the girls squads, and also the
boys� frosh-soph. There is no Boys� Varsity at this meet. This allows the
often under-represented parts of our sport to see the spotlight. We also
feature full relays in all events, even field events. Multiple entries are
welcome, so you may enter a �B� or �C� or �D� relay if you can. All relays
are eligible to score and earn medals. We also run on Friday
afternoon/evening, so there is no conflict with weekend soccer, SAT
classes, family outings, etc., and kids can compete under the lights.
See you the 8th ! ! !
WELCOME:
to the 2005 Trojan Invitational Relays! Now in their 12th year, they are
a continuation of the long-running DeKlotz Relays (1973-1989) which were
held at Las Lomas High School. The DeKlotz Relays were the first track
and field relays in Northern California set up expressly for girls�
competition. Later, boys� frosh-soph events were added to further
encourage competition in under-represented parts of the sport. In 1996 we
added girls� frosh-soph events as well. All records, by permission of the
former meet director, have been forwarded from the DeKlotz Relays and are
now a part of this continuing event.

DIRECTIONS
to Castro Valley High: The track is located on Redwood Road 3/4 of a mile
north of 580. From 580 West take the Castro Valley Boulevard exit and go
west until Redwood Road. Turn right (north) and follow to the school.
From 580 East take the Redwood Road exit. Turn left (north) and follow to
the school. Enter the track through the entrance on the south side.
MEET MANAGEMENT:
The meet will be run according to National Federation rules. There will
be a Meet Referee in case of appeals, and a Jury of Review consisting of
the Head Starter, the Head Finish Judge, and the Chief Inspector. All
races will be videotaped. The meet will start at 3:30 p.m. and then
continue until the last event. The length of the meet will be determined
by the number of entries.
DEVIL-TAKE-THE-HINDMOST MILE:
There has been concern among coaches that this event is demeaning, or at
the very least embarassing for the athletes that get pulled from the track
at the end of each lap. Out of concern for these athletes, we advise
coaches who feel that this may be a factor to not enter those athletes in
this race. However, the majority of the coaches polled supported this
race, and so we will not only run it, there will be a Devil to pull off
the last runner at each lap off the track.
