               For the qualifiers from the Eastern League Finals, this is the big moment.  Each invitee should realize that just making it to this point is a major accompl ishment in its own right.  To many athletes, this will be the equivalent of participating in an Olympic event, it certainly looks and feels like an Olympic event.
      Old conference records can be and usually are broken here.  It has been said that Southern California produces 50% of the Nation’s best athletes in Track & Field.  The Valley Conference kids, our kids, are responsible for a fairly large percentage of that number.
     At this meet the sprint races (400 meter included) are nearly impossible to judge, thank goodness for the ACUTRACK camera.  You are all invited to this wonderful spectacle regardless if you have a participating athlete or not.    To top it all, do not miss the always entertaining Coaches Relay.  It is truly the event for which your coach is waiting to end his/her season.

Sunday, June 1
                Awards Picnic/Banquet @ TBA
