Casa Grande is putting on a new Invitational this season on March 9th.
All relays.
Casa Grande T&F is excited to invite you to the first ever Gaucho Relays! We’re looking forward to hosting a fun and casual meet to get your athletes excited and ready for competition early in the season. We’ve carefully crafted our schedule to provide events that you might not get the opportunity to run at any other meets the rest of the year (or if you do, this may be a good opportunity to come throw down a fast Ɵme and get qualified to some of the larger meets later in the calendar)! Our unique all relays, only relays format is a great way to build camaraderie and bond as a team.
We hope to see you and your shiniest batons in March!!
When: Saturday, March 9, 2023
