2006 Castro Valley
Invitational Relays
Friday April 7, 2006
Trojan Stadium, Castro Valley High School, 3:30 p.m.
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 7th ! ! !
WELCOME:
to the 2006 Trojan Invitational Relays! Now in their 13th 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.

The Castro Valley High School track is a 7 lane dirt track. The runways
have an
artificial surface. 1/4 inch spikes are recommended for the runways
and takeoff
areas. Bathrooms will be available. There are no dressing facilities.
There will be
a snack bar in operation, and there will be a trainer on duty.
SCRATCHES AND SUBSTITUTIONS
will be handled at the bullpen. The Clerk of the Course will rearrange
heats as
necessary. All runners report to the bullpen. All field events report
directly to the
event. Please have field event athletes sign up before 4:00 p.m. in
their respective

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.
