The Arcadia Invitational annually sends an “interest postcard” to more than 1,000 schools on our mailing list in early January, with those schools asked to return the postcard by the date specified (usually exactly two months before the meet date) to indicate to us whether they have an interest in attending that year.

Schools appear on our annual mailing list in one of two ways: Any school that has competed in the past usually remains on our mailing list for the next five years. Additionally, any school that has an athlete which ranks among the national leaders (usually among the top 20 athletes per event) in his/her respective event is also sent a postcard. Keep in mind, these postcards are sent to the school in care of the head track and field coach for each gender.

Those schools that respond by returning the interest postcard by the February deadline will be emailed their username and password information to register their entry requests online at www.DirectAthletics.com All subsequent meet information will be posted online at www.arcadiainvitational.org

A reminder that anyone wishing to compete must do so by representing the school and wearing the school uniform. “Unattached” competition is not allowed at the Arcadia Invitational.

For further information regarding entry/invitation details, please email us at ArcadiaInvite@aol.com

We hope to see you on the second weekend of April!
