Tune-up Competition Opportunities!

Use this as a tune-up for summer championship meets like the USATF Region 14 Junior Olympic Championships where you can qualify for the 50th Annual National USATF Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships! Both these events hold competitions in 2-year age divisions, and both will be held at Hornet Stadium, Sacramento State, CA.

Extend your Track & Field Season!

School will soon be out soon, so here is the opportunity to show off the skills you've been working on all season.

It's a Top Quality Meet!

Befitting a meet with such a rich history, the 57th Annual GWI has experienced meet management, is sanctioned by USA Track & Field, and it will have a full slate of experienced USATF Pacific Officials.

History in the Making!

Be a part of the long and rich history of the 57th Annual Golden West, the oldest prep meet in the U.S. Perhaps your performance here will lead you to accomplishments similar to many famous past GWI participants: the Olympics, pro sports, and more!
