2019 HOKA ONE ONE Spring Track & Field Training Week 15, Day 6: racing on Saturday

The big invites on the holiday weekend are always a lot of fun. I recall coaching Junior college and watching our athletes do well in the 3000m, 1,500m and relays.

In high school, I remember watching Eric Hulst run 8.55 as a sophomore for 2 miles at the San Jose Invitational.
