The Mt. San Antonio College Relays will be celebrating a golden milestone, presenting its 50th running in April.

The five-part track and field event kicks off with the LA84 Foundation Youth Days, scheduled for Friday and Saturday. That race will feature elementary and middle school students.

The Community College Invitational is slated for April 12, with the High School Invitational following on April 19.

"I'm really excited," said Doug Todd, who takes over as the event's director this year.

"We have a 50th commemorative book coming out. It's a beautiful little book that has the history, photos and time-lines. From the very beginning, we've had photos. There has been great performances. It's going to be really nice," he said.

The Mt. SAC Relays will conclude April 20, with both the Mt. SAC Collegiate Classic and the International Day of Champions, which will feature elite competition.

All events will be held at the Mt. SAC's Hilmer Lodge Stadium.
