GWI has, MOST UNFORTUNATELY, been cancelled.

In spite of Meet Director Bob Wright’s valiant efforts to keep the 61st Annual Golden West Invitational on the 2020 schedule, several insurmountable obstacles surfaced that made proceeding impossible and caused the final decision to cancel. All of us at GWI appreciate your ongoing support and we will look forward to 2021, when a kinder, healthier environment will allow us to resume the tradition. If you have any questions, contact Bob Wright directly:
