This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field! We go LIVE Monday-Saturday, at 10 Am Central time in the U.S.A.
1. Amazing fans at Arcadia Invitational, see this one!
2. What impressed Dwayne Harms in Arcadia? “The crowd was standing for much of the Saturday night session!” “One of the best meets anywhere”.

3. Huge 3200 meters for Girls, five under 10:01!
4. Arcadia Invitational is one of the best meets in the country! When I went there in 1995-1996, it blew my mind. Now, thirty years later, the meet continues to impress. Kudos to Rich Gonsales, protector of the Arcadia meet legacy, and his team. Kudos to NIKE for bringing in everyone!

5. The amazing Free Streaming Coverage opened the meet to another generation of dreamers! That may be the most important benefit for the sponsor, NIKE!
