The South Coast Conference men's track and field 2025 season continues with invitationals throughout the state.

Unlike recent years where SCC student-athletes dominated the leader circle in many events, only two Cerritos College racers are at the very top of the state rankings.

The SCC Prelims/Championships will take place Tuesday, April 22 and Saturday, April 26 at Long Beach CC.

The SoCal Prelims/Championships are slated for May 2 and May 10 at Saddleback College.

Then the 3C2A State Championships are set to take place at College of San Mateo on May 16-17
