This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!
This is Coffee with Larry for Friday, May 26, 2023.
We are at the Luskin Conference Center, just finished the
presser for USATF LA Grand Prix.
Our topics today:
1. Presser was fantastic, with Ajee Wilson, Sam Kendricks, Sha’Carri
Richardson, Mondo Duplantis, Christian Coleman, and Brooke Anderson, with emcee
Carrie Tollefson.
2. All had good things to say.
3. The meet will be good on Friday, 5-10 pm, and Saturday, 12-5 pm. Great events both day and night.
4. Great seeing the athletes checking in, Josette Andrews and Robbie Andrews,
Tom Walsh, Ryan Crouser, and a ton of athletes.
5. I had a great catch up with Alan Abrahmason of 3 Wire sports, this story will stir it up! https://www.3wiresports.com/…/yo-adrian-can-the-iba-and…
6. So a bright person explained Whereabouts testing to me, quite simply? “Do you pay your taxes? Yes. Did you get an airline ticket to get to this meet?Yes, did you pay for it? Yes, Why? Because that is your job. Simple as that. You follow up on Whereabouts testing because it is part of your job!”
