Our topics;
1. The 2025 USATF Indoor Championships, held at Ocean Breeze Athletics Complex, was held February 22-23, 2025.
2. The crowd at USATF Indoor went from about 70 percent full on Saturday to 95 percent complete on Sunday.
3. I like the two-day schedule for the championships.
4. Friday’s presser was well done. Grant Holloway, Alexis Holmes, Jasmine Jones, Katie Holmes, Vernon Norwood, and Josh Hoey did a nice job. Enjoyed our discussions! 2025 USATF Indoor Presser, some thoughts, some observations, by Larry Eder, https://www.runblogrun.com/2025/02/2025-usatf-indoor-presser-some-thoughts-some-quotes.html
5. The 3,000 meters on Saturday were exciting and big wins for Nikki Hiltz and Hobbs Kessler!

Saturday was a soundtrack and field day, and the heat kept us interested.
Grant Holloway asked fans not to watch the USATF streaming on day one, as he was not happy that, for the third time, USATF did not provide coverage for fans of the meet without a paywall. We agree with Grant. USATF is short-sighted and continues to forget the big picture.
See you tomorrow with #CoffeewithLarry.
