0_o And Markesh Woodson is just coming off of running 6.60 indoors and placing 4th or 5th at NCAA’s in the 60m. I’m having a hard time seeing how Drake ever expects to become a legitimate big-time meet when the wind is like that every single year; prize money or not.

Is there a stadium surrounding the track? I’ve never been nor seen it.

I’ve never been either, but a quick google search says no, not really. There are stands that look like about what you would find at your typical large high school that wrap around 3/4ths of the track.
