2007 Castro Valley Invitational Relays
Friday, March 23, 2007
George DeKlotz Field, Las Lomas 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 23rd ! ! !

WELCOME:
The Trojan Invitational Relays take a step back to the past as it returns for this year to Las Lomas High School while Castro Valley High’s track undergoes renovation. Now in their 15th year, the Relays 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 Las Lomas High: The school is located on South Main Street just off of Highway 680. From the south, take the Main Street exit. From the North, get off at Olympic Boulevard, go left under the freeway and then right on Main Street.

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.
