Dinuba Invitational

Hi Coach,

Thanks for confirming your participation in the first annual Dinuba Invitational on Friday, April 30!

There has been a lot more interest than I had originally anticipated. More than 15 schools have confirmed participation in this year’s event! While this will be great for everyone to get one last chance at a quality meet before League and Valley Championships, it has resulted in the necessity of limiting the number of participants from each school. One of my goals for this meet was, and is, to get as many athletes into each event. I had originally hoped to allow every entry into the meet, but the shear number of participants would have us racing past midnight in order to get everyone in. Therefore, there will be a maximum of six athletes per event from each school (six boys, six girls). In addition, there will only be frosh/soph boys events in the 4x100, 4x400, and 1600 meter runs. Because of the limited number of frosh/soph events, frosh/soph athletes may compete in both divisions.

Attached you’ll find the relevant information pertaining to the meet.

We will use Athletic.net for all meet entries. The entry deadline is Tuesday, April 20.
