Dozens of umbrellas dotted the stands as a little bit of rain didn’t stop fans from all over Southern California coming out to support their teams at the Vaquero Classic track and field meet on April 9 at the newly renovated Sartoris Field.

Community colleges from San Diego north to Bakersfield and Ventura east to San Bernardino came out to battle the elements as well as each other in the first official track and field meet at Glendale College in 10 years.
Events got underway with the discus and shot put at 11 a.m. and continued throughout the afternoon with races beginning at noon.
