2024 Week 1: Arcadia Invitational, First Day
Opening event of the marathon 56th Arcadia Invitational was Friday afternoon, April 4, followed by a Saturday spectacular that goes from not long after sun-up to late-night TV.
San Diego Section boys and girls Friday participated in many events, some with four classifications, Invitational, Open, Seeded, and Rated. “Rising Stars” events below, usually are reserved for freshmen or promising upper class entries.
Arcadia, probably the premier meet in the country, signals the start of the season’s second half, ending under a usually warmer than warm sun in the 104th state meet at Clovis’ Buchanan High May 24-25.
