The Ponce, Puerto Rico Meeting had a tremendous crowd and they were treated by Javier Culson’s World Leading 48.00 for 400m hurdles, and Ryan Wilson’s victory over Dayron Robles and Jason Richardson. (Oh, and don’t forget Tianna Madison’s 100m, 200m and long jump triple! ). Special thanks to the IAAF for the story.
