A good meeting, few in attendance due to the World Cup down the road in two hours. Hot and humid, with some very fine performances! TV broadcast was pretty good, with Lewis Johnson on interviews, Trey Hardee on field events, Ato Boldon, Sanya Richards Ross, and Leigh Diffey.
Very impressed with the high school 100m for boys and girls. Dillon Miller and Mia Maxwell were very impressive!
