6. Looking forward to seeing many of you there.

7. I suspect ticket sales have been okay, but hard for non-locals to visit when Hampton Inn/Springfield charges $704 a night. Hilton should be ashamed of itself. Air BnBs have also gotten pricey.

8. My dream is that NON, New Balance Outdoor, and adidas Outdoor figure out that 3 national events on one weekend are not good for the sport.

9. Noah Lyles is in 100m and 200m at Eugene.
