Well, good morning sports fans! It is 7:30 am in the lovely city of Albuquerque, and I wanted to say hello to track fans across the globe! The USATF Indoor Champs, the final stop of the VISA Indoor Series, starts today about 3:30 PM local time with the 60 meter hurdles. I have posted the schedule below. Please also note that ESPN 2 will be carrying the meet on Sunday, in a two hour format. Runblogrun will be twittering the meet live today and tomorrow, plus an event by event follow up on Runblogrun.com.
Please note that the USA champs have not been held in Albuquerque since 1966! The facility is hosting a college indoor conference this morning. If you have any questions, fire away!
