It is called the Sacramento Meet of Champions. We host this meet on Saturday, April 26 at American River College.

Bronco Speed Festival Meet Information (3-29-25): Most of the meet information for the Bronco Speed Fiestival can be viewed at this link (check meet program for the BV entries).

Since BV is the host school all attending athletes must also realize that they are there to do two things. 1. Compete, and 2. help the coaching staff run the meet. This means that when asked you will need to help move the blocks to the next starting line, help move the hurdles on and off the track and a number of other jobs that need to get done.

On Saturday, don't dwell in your own little world. Be apart of the BV track community and pitch in. Always be prepared to help someone in need when given the opportunity. GO BRONCOS!

Arrival Times: All competing athletes must arrive at Bella Vista at 7:30 am ready to help the coaches with meet set up.

    • Caution tape will indicate no-tent zones.

    • JV Girls: 6'
    • JV Boys: 7'
    • Varsity Girls: 7'

Glenn Poole Invitational Information: On Saturday, March 1, athletes should arrive at Oakmont High School at least one hour before their event is scheduled to start (distance runners should arrive 90 minutes before event start time).

Running events will be run in what we call a "rolling schedule" meaning they will start at 9:00 am and after that follow the order on the schedule. However, after the 9:00 am start the times for each running event will be uncertain. Below is an estimated time schedule for the running events. Remember this is a best guess so plan to be at Oakmont High School well in advance of this guess because the meet could run faster or slower than the estimated time schedule.

Field event times are listed on the order of events below (follow Glenn Poole Schedule of Events link). Field events will begin at 8:30 am and follow a set schedule for some events and a rolling schedule for others. As you will see the long and triple jump are on a set schedule but the high jump, pole vault and throwing events are on a rolling schedule. For the rolling scheduled events figure that each field event division (frosh/soph boys, varsity girls etc) will take about 2 to 2.5 hours.

Team area: Coach U will attempt to arrive at Oakmont (very) early to set up our team tents on the south end of the visitors stands.

Admission: Everyone entering the stadium must have a wristband. Coaches and athletes will be given 1 color. Spectators will be given a separate color. Everyone is expected to keep their wristband on for the day to allow you to go through the gates without problems. We are asking that the whole team enter together OR coaches meet your athletes outside the gate with wristbands. No one will be allowed through without a wristband.

Guests can pay by Cash, Card, or Apple Pay for everything: Entrance, T-shirts, Snack bar, and Vendors.

Parking: Parking is very limited. Coaches and athletes are encouraged to carpool. There is no charge to park.

Entry Gate: Gates open at 7am. Spectators will enter through the gate closest to the parking lot on the right. Teams and coaches will enter the gate at the main entrance on the left, (or visitor entrance).

Awards: Medals will be awarded to the top four (4) overall finishers in each event. Athletes should pick up their medals from the awards table.

Warmups: Warmups will be on the upper athletic fields behind the press box side of the stadium. We are asking that all athletes and spectators remain outside the track unless they are checked in for their field event, or unless their heat has already been sent from the clerk of the course. Coaches wearing wristbands will be allowed access to the infield.

Field Event Check in: Field event check in and warm ups start at 7:30 am or when the volunteer running the event is there to supervise. Field Event athletes check in at their event, NOT at the clerk of the course.

Shot and Disc: The Upper ring and area around it has dried nicely and will be used for Frosh/Soph shot and Frosh/Soph Girls Discus.  Please see the updated order of events.

Running Event Check in: Running event check in will be at the clerk of the course, located at the top of the ramp at the south end of the stadium. Athletes who do not check in for their event will be scratched. This is a very large meet! We will not stop the meet to reinsert an athlete who did not follow instructions. Please make sure your athletes know where to go. Do NOT have them report to the starting line. They will be instructed when to go with their heat.

Those not entered: This meet has entry limits meaning not all of our athletes will be able to compete in this meet. We try to get as many of you in as we can but we have a very large team and the top athletes will always get first consideration for weekend meets.

Checking out: After your last event ends remember to check in and let your event coach know that you are leaving the meet.

Concessions: We will have a snack bar operating the entire meet, and we will provide coaches meal tickets in your team packet. There will also be food trucks throughout the day.

Final Bella Vista entries are posted below (Follow the "Bella Vista Entries By Athlete" link). A full meet program with lane assignments etc. will be posted soon.

Parent Meeting: There will be a team parent meeting on Wednesday, February 26 at 6:30 pm at BV in the atrium. Follow this link to view a map of where the atrium is on campus. Look to the upper left of the map and find the J wing. Room J1 is the atrium.

Topics of discussion will be team rules and expectations, season schedule, transportation to away meets, and ways you as parents can help your son or daughter as well as the BV track community. We have a very large team this year so it is important that we get everyone involved and this meeting is the first step. Hope to see you all there!

Attention Parents - As a reminder the Track and Field Team is seeking your donation of $125.00 to the BVXCT Booster Club (click/tap for donation form).  The money is used to pay for our additional Coaching Stipends, Uniform Replacement and Athlete Entrance Fees.   We will be collecting your donations at the Parent Meeting on Wednesday, February 26th at 6:30PM.   We accept cash, checks (made out to Bella Vista Track and Cross Country Booster Club with your athlete's name in the memo), Apple Pay or Online Donations. For those that pay on Wednesday there will be a raffle drawing to win a free family pack for entrance into our home track meets.

Thank you so much for your support of our amazing Track and Field Program.  It's going to be a great season.  Go Broncos! ~ Dayle Cantrall, Booster Club President

Practice schedule for the week of February 17-21:

We now have two team stores! The BV track and field booster club has opened another apparel store. This second store is not for purchasing uniforms. It has some t-shirts and hoodies that you can purchase at a slightly lower cost than the uniform store. Follow this link to view our second apparel store. Information on purchasing a uniform can be found at this link.

How to view results at track meets: There are usually two ways to view results for our track meets.

  1. If you see a link on the bvtrack.com home page that reads "real time results" it is for viewing running event results as the runners cross the finish line. These results post in real time and then the page will reset for the next running heat. An example would be the link on the home page of bvtrack.com that reads BV Time Trial Real Time Results. Although they exist, we usually do not have real time results for field events.
  2. The second way to view results is when the entire event is over. You will be able to view compiled results at a different link like the one on our home page that reads Compiled Results. These results show every competitor's time or mark (field events) in each event and the overall order that they finished a short time after each event is complete.
