ABOUT THE MEETS:

- This marks the first year the Mt. SAC Relays will not be run at Hilmer Lodge Stadium, due to a $62-million dollar renovation with intent to bid for the 2020 US Olympic Track and Field Trials.
- This year's Mt. SAC Relays will be run at Falcon Stadium at Cerritos College.
- The Oregon Relays combine the Northwest's premier High School meet with the Northwest's premier College/Pro meet to form a two-day, super meet with over 70 teams and thousands of athletes.
- Historic Hayward Field stakes claim as a place on the historic track stadiums list.
