PORTLAND—Saturday’s Central Washington Invitational has officially been moved to the Saint Martin’s University campus in Lacey, according to a release sent out Thursday afternoon by the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.

Saint Martin’s agreed to host the meet, which features both Central Washington and Western Washington, on its course, after the poor air quality issues due to the forest fires affecting the Pacific Northwest.

The meet will start at 10 am with the women’s 4k, with the men’s 6k going at 10:45 am.

Here is a link to the GNAC release, which is part of the conference’s weekly release featuring all of its teams.
