The second meeting at the 2021 American Track League was night and day impovements over ATL meeting 1.

The good news was the support that USATF brought to the meet.

The team on TV, with Paul Swangard, Lewis Johnson and Ato Bolden gave the meet a bold informed voice, and the quality on the TV was much higher than in week 1.

BRYCE HOPPEL RUNS SECOND FASTER 800M EVER IN US

FAYETTEVILLE, AR: Athletes continue to demonstrate they have made it through a trying 2020 in elite form as they prepare for a new Olympic year, with several throwing down season leading marks in the second week of the American Track League.

With many examples of how they persevered through the challenges of 2020, Sandi Morris might be the ultimate story of adapting. With the handy help of her father, she was able to build a pit at home where she trained throughout the year. After overcoming her own recent bout with Covid, Morris showed she was resilient with a vault of 4.81m, a world leading mark. While not traveling as normal may be seen as a negative, Morris pointed out the benefits of having a meet close by. “Here at home with my coach, who stays in Arkansas – he doesn’t get to travel the world with me in a normal season in Europe, so it’s really great to be here in my back yard getting my reps in.” Morris gives credit to her father, “My dad is the only reason I was able to train, it was all thanks to him and his hard work building that pit for me. I helped as much as I could, but he is the carpenter and the perfectionist.”

In the 200m, Jereem Richards of Trinidad and Tobago lead the field with a time of 20.7, noting he spent eight months of 2020 stuck at home, having traveled for an event and ended up not being able to leave the country. The adaption to home workouts kept him in great form despite the challenges.

Ryan Crouser, who last week broke a 32-year-old world record in shot put, matched the previous world record but did not extend the new mark he set. “I was actually really happy with today. I came back after the big throw last week and that’s difficult to do coming off a big throw. It’s really easy when you know more is there to force it, and I threw a really consistent series, so consistency wise, this week was better. I had the energy last week, had the execution today, so I’ll be back in two weeks and hope we can put those together.

Several other athletes hit world leading times, including Shaunae Miller-Uibo in the women’s 200m and in the men’s 800m, Bryce Hoppel ran the second fastest time ever indoors with a 1:44.37. His reaction? “I’m going for one.”
