Meet Information
The Camarillo Classic consists of the Camarillo Distance Classic Relays on Friday night and the standard events on Saturday. Added in 2003, the distance carnival on Friday night has grown in popularity and competitiveness. The distance relays attract many top teams from Southern California due to Camarillo's mild weather, the thrill of running under the lights, and the prospect of racing top teams in four-man relay races. Friday events include the 4 x 800m relay, 4 x 1600m relay, Distance Medley Relay, and a 5000 meter run. Friday night is unique in that there are special invitational events when a particularly strong field of runners has been assembled. In 2006 there was an elite men's 3200 m race, while in 2007 there was an elite women's 3200 m race.
Saturday events consist of (in approximate order) the 100/110 m hurdles, 1600 m run, 4x100 m relay, 400 m dash, 100 m dash, 800 m run, 300 m hurdles, 200 m dash, 3200 m run, and the 4x400 m relay. The long jump, high jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, and pole vault take place throughout the day.
Mike Smith, Charlie Carranza, and Mary Perez are the acting meet directors.
