On Tuesday May 20th, 2025, MichianaTiming and Byron Center Public Schools with the help of many volunteers and sponsors will present the twelth annual University of Michigan Health-West Scholarship Invite.
This meet is the preeminent meet in west Michigan for end of the season individual and relay performances. It is open to athletes who have met either the D3 Regional RQ standard for individual events, or the D4 State SQ standard for Relays which published on the MHSAA website. The only exceptions would be if you had an athlete who say qualified in the 400 and can thus make a strong case that they would qualify in the 800 but had not yet met that standard. They must seek advance approval in that situation. The only other published exception is for senior scholarship applicants who can participate regardless of performance (and must compete and be present to receive a scholarship if they are selected as a winner).
Field start: 4:00 pm
Running start: 5:15 pm
