4. I told a little bit about the story of how quickly (4 days) Brooks Running responded to claim the championship when Foot Locker canceled their 45 year event. Brooks battled HOKA and New Balance for the event.
5. That monstrosity of Grand Slam Track, MJ Gold is now filing for bankruptcy. MJ is aiming to return next year. He will be lucky enough to have some younger kids competing and for them he will put the money in reserve. MJ should just retire from the Grand Slam Track in peace as he has damaged his reputation with GST. This is a nightmare for athletes, vendors and staff.
