In track and field, the West Coast Relays takes place at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

The girls bronze 400 relay will get things going with the last event (boys gold 1,600) schedule to start at 4:20 p.m.

Tickets are $8 for adult, $7 for seniors and $6 for students.

The 53rd Fresno Easter Classic baseball tournament starts Monday at various sites.
