Welcome to the 63rd running of the Sanger

Metric Classic. From 1958 - 1977, the meet

now known as “The Metric” was called the
Sanger Invitational, but no matter the name,
each year it continues to be one of the highest
quality track and field experiences for
participants. Sanger High School and Dave
Dodson made this one of, if not, the first high
school invitational in California to use metric
race distances. Initially, this was only done for
the ‘72 and ‘76 Olympic years, but has been a
standard of the meet since ‘76. As the meet
stands today, it continues to be a premiere late season invitational in the Central Section. “If an
athlete and/or team places at the Sanger Metric, they are one to watch at any Section Championship
Meet and a potential state qualifier.”

Given the cancellation of this year’s State Championship “The Metric” should serve as a final tune-up
for league championships and any postseason event scheduled for your team. Just getting into the
meet should validate for a coach and athlete that their season up to this point has been successful.
Again, we are excited to host and welcome you to another installment of “The Metric.”
