Transportation

YOU are responsible for arranging your transportation to St. Francis High School, on time!

Location & Start

St. Francis High School, 1885 Miramonte Ave, Mountain View, CA 94040

8am—scheduled meet start. Look at the schedule below to determine when you need to arrive. Ideally, you are at the meet 90 minutes before your first event is scheduled to start.

Meet Overview

This is an awesome track meet! There will be high quality competition, so use it to your advantage and give it your all. We will not have a full team at the meet, but make sure you are supporting the teammates that are competing!

Bring your A-game!

Weekend invitationals are a little bit different than our league meets – the focus is more on yourself as an individual. These will be opportunities to face better competition than normal and a larger variety of competition – kids you’re not going to see at our league meets! Rise to the occasion and capitalize on the opportunity and you may go home with a t-shirt – or even better, a PR!
