The Westside Invite Omnium winner is the overall winner of the Westside Invite. The Omnium consists of three events: The Time Trial, The Alleycat and The Main Race. Points will be given for each of these three races depending on finishing time/place. The points will be tallied up and the person(s) with the most points will be crowned Westside Invite Omnium winner. There will be prizes given for the Omnium as well as individual events. This should not be confused with the King and Queen of Track competition.
