3. Combination of elite performances at two huge meets in California and South Carolina
A week ago, the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays and Florida Pepsi Relays combined to haul in over 4,500 elite performances over three days of action in two of the biggest track states.
Few could compete with that type of star power and reputation.
But somehow, the Arcadia Invitational in California and the Bojangles Track and Field Classic in South Carolina did.
The two meets combined for nearly 1,600 elite performances, which made for a great weekend of action across the country.
