2018 WWU Track & Field Invitational Friday, April 6, 2018 8Civic Field Stadium 8Bellingham, WA
The Team Invitational is a new meet on the calendar for 2018, with the four competing teams being Saint Martin's University, Seattle Pacific University, the University of British Columbia, and the host Western Washington University. There are no entries available for this meet who are not affiliated with the four school programs.
WWU used to hold two home meets every year -- the Team Triangular or Quadrangular, and the Invitational. Occasionally a twilight meet would also be staged. The Team and Invite meets were merged in 1992 under the current name. The Twilight meet was held in the late 70s and early 80s, and was re-started in 2004, and the likelihood for better weather continued to help it grow in popularity through 2013. We combined the Vernacchia and Twilight meets in 2013 on the later weekend. Due to the need for additional competitive opportunities for all events, the Team Meet has once again been scheduled as a separate event.
MEET LINKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
- This is restricted meet - there are no entries available for this meet who are not affiliated with the four school programs. The only exception is the 4x800-meter Relay, which will be open to any school.

- All track events will be electronically timed.
FACILITY INFORMATION
- The City of Bellingham has an Atlas track at Civic Field Stadium, which includes the high jump area, dual pole vault and long/triple jump runways, and the javelin approach. The facility requires a maximum of quarter-inch spikes for all running and jumping events, and 3/8" maximum for the javelin throw. The throwing circles are brushed concrete

- The track is eight lanes; multiple heats may be required in most events, including 800-meters and 1500-meters.
- If teams need locker and shower space after the meet, Civic Field Stadium has very limited space. Please plan to give us plenty of advanced notice, and to supply your own towels.
