Hope to see this in a livestream!
My former wife is Puerto Rican and lived there for 20 years before we met!
We were going to go there for a few weeks, but we split before we could plan a trip!
Ponce was one of the places I most wanted to visit!
P.R. is a beautiful country with a fascinating history, and some beautiful buildings and scenery
This field (the ones mentioned so far) looks to be World Class in many ways!
Hoping for good weather!

Mu is running the 400. Hmmm. I guess if I read the article atticus linked to I would already know that.

Surprised that the meet is in Ponce, not San Juan, PR’s largest city. Ponce is very close to Coamo, which hosts the San Blas Half Marathon, which featured the best runners (Viren, Yifter, etc) in the world each February.

I know a young adult how got it, got 3 shots, and got it again. Don't really think it is unheard of for coronaviruses and I'm not saying don't get vaccinated.

Will this be streamed on the WA YouTube page (since this is a WIT meeting)? So far I only see ESPN mentioned.

At the top of their YT home-page, they list meets that they are likely to cast; PR is not among them.

That 100 start was messed up. Couldn't hear the gun but I think it was too quick.
