Mt Sac is the "The World's Largest Relays". Beach Relays down the SGR Fwy and is the 2nd largest relays. Why? because of coaches, officials, parents, and volunteers.
Interesting. I've seen the following on the Mt. SAC web site:
The Mt. SAC Relays is the "World's Largest" Track and Field Competition with over 14,000 competitors from youth to the world class athlete.
But, everything I've read about the Penn Relays tells me they've believed forever that they're the first, oldest and largest track competition in the U.S.
The 2016 Penn Relay Carnival will occur April 28, 29 and 30 at Franklin Field on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. The Penn Relays are the largest annual track and field meet in the United States and the largest annual relay meet in the world. Over the course of three days, 17,000 athletes from all levels will race in front of 115,000 spectators. The best in the world have and continue to compete at the Penn Relays.

The Penn Relays (also Penn Relays Carnival) is the oldest and largest track and field competition in the United States, hosted annually since April 21, 1895 by the University of Pennsylvania at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2012, there were 116 events run at the meet and more athletes run in the Penn Relays than do any other track and field meet in the world.[1] It regularly attracts more than 15,000 participants from high schools, colleges, and track clubs throughout North America and abroad, notably Jamaica, competing in more than 300 events over five days.

This year there will be more than 22,000 entries, about half of whom will be high schoolers, and the three-day attendance is likely to top 110,000 for the third year in a row. Saturday attendance has averaged 48,000 for the last six years, and makes the meet the best attended track event in the United States each year, and one of the best attended in the world. (From 2010)

Here is the list of Penn Relays schools for 2016 (lots of high schools, foreign and domestic, but seems really light on quality of colleges this year):
