The jumping facility is a wood runway with a Recortan surface and ONLY 1/4" spikes will be allowed.  The throwing circle is CONCRETE and the landing area is wood with a Martin Versaturf surface, thus only the M-F "soft" weight and "plastic" shots will be allowed.

Selection of Entries:
The St. Valentine Invitational is an  Invitational level meet that is limited to college teams and clubs and unattached athletes. This meet is NOT an all-comer meet and acceptances to the meet is at the discretion of meet management. This meet is primarily geared to accepting Division II and Division III teams, but will also be open to Division I schools.

Goals:
It is the goal of St. Valentine Invitational to put on an exciting track meet that is efficiently run, fun to watch and provides an excellent environment for athletes to perform at their best.

Parking: Parking is at a premium at Boston University.  The best place to find a free parking spot is at the Boston University Parking Lot located where the Mass Pike passes under Commonwealth Avenue.  There are two parking lots on either side of that intersection (right side going in towards Boston Center).  This location is just one half mile from the facility and is excellent for Vans and Busses.  Athletes may be dropped off in front of the Track Center, but do not have busses or vans go up on the sidewalk or park along Ashford Street (street that goes in front of facility).  Most importantly, DO NOT park in the Shaw's parking lot across the street.  They WILL tow your car and it will cost you over $100 and lots of time to get your car back again. There may be limited parking in the Boston University lot diagonally across from the facility, depending on whether there is a hockey or basketball game. 

Thank you very much for your continued support and understanding.
