Last Year's West Valley/Chico Invite Entries as of 4/17/07 WEST
VALLEY/CHICO TRACK INVITATIONAL Dear
Coach: Thank
you for accepting the invitation to the West Valley/Chico Invitational
Track & Field Meet. With great
success, the games
committee changed the format for sprinting events in
2008. All races are now timed finals, with the top 16 entrants
participating in the evening "invitational" session. The
result is more competitive races during the day session, and faster times
during the evening. With over fifty schools participating
from California and Nevada, we
are again looking forward to a day of outstanding competition.

information sheets you may contact Scott Fairley at (530)347-7171 ext.
