Two days of great track and field in Los Angeles, the first big meet since, perhaps, Pepsi Invitational. Marketing did not even begin here until a few weeks ago, and with tickets at $50 each, 4,000 on Friday and 7249 on Saturday was pretty darn good. This meeting must succeed. LA is a huge hot bed of track ad field, so we hope the organizers can overcome challenges in the LA metro area to make this meet truly shine.
The athletes shined, the fans came out, and the meet management put together a fine meet.
