A fun presser was held at the Nike Pre Classic on May 25, 2018. Tom Jordan, Meet Director, and does the introductions of the meet, updates on the meet and one question for each of the top athletes. I wanted to thank Tom Jordan for giving me a shout out and wishing me a speedy recovery. Tom Jordan asked me to send a few questions for most of the top athletes up there, which is always a lot of fun to do!

Again, after the thirty minute presser, the athletes move to chairs and you get to ask questions on each of the top athletes, if you move very fast. I have always enjoyed the presser, and the format.
