I am going to try and do live updates from Pre here. The pole vault starts tomorrow at 1:08. Men's only.

It will be shown LIVE on NBC from 1-3 (Pacific), so be sure to check it out. My coverage is only meant to fill in for what TV does not show.

It all happens tomorrow (Sunday)

Who is going to the meet?

I am here in Eugene and the guys are getting warmed up. It is a little on the cool side, but they are in the sun so it probably feels nice.

Unfortunately they are running into a smoking headwind. The wind kept shifting around when the games committee was trying to make a decision about it, so they decided to leave it the way it is now. They won't let them change it.

It'll be a headwind for all the sprints as well :no:

The women's javelin appears to be going well. Kreiner threw 193-0. The crowd is appreciative.

The vaulters are coming up short a lot in warmups.

False start in the 100.

There is a meeting at the PV Pit. I think they are thinking about saying screw TV and turn the pits around anyway. The wind is just a smoking headwind and the guys are not happy.

Screw TV, they are turning the pits around. :yes:

I dunno what the wind reading was, but the 100 was won in 10.42 by Brown, so you can tell there is a smoking headwind.

Not sure what happens now. I thought it was against the rules to turn the pit around mid competition *shrug*

8:08.08 for Koech in the steeple. He absolutely obliterated the field. It broke all kinds of records. Broke Rono's record.
