Arcadia Invitational

The Arcadia Invitational attracts the top prep athletes in the United States and internationally (Canada, Mexico, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Argentina, and Brazil have been represented in recent years).

[3][2] 1970 is the year that Doug Smith felt was a giant step in the development of the meet into more of a "Southern California" event.

[5] In 2002, the meet expanded from a single-day competition to a two-day affair as the newly formed Friday portion consisted of additional relays (sprint medleys, shuttle hurdles, 4x800, etc.)

In 2008, the Arcadia Multis were added on the Thursday-Friday of meet week, allowing top decathletes and heptathletes the chance to compete.

[6] As of 2017, Arcadia High School organization, Apache News, live streams the field events for the meet.
