Comments

This weekend, the University of Washington will host their second in a series of indoor track meets. After the relatively low-key Preview of two weekends ago, this meet usually brings out the big guns.

We plan on filming at least the fast heats and possibly several heats deep of the distance events and interviewing the winners. But I wanted to give my readers the opportunity to tell me who they would like to see interviews of and offer questions of your own that you would like asked.

The heat sheets will be up by mid-week, so check them out and let me know what athletes, coaches, or people you know will be there you want questions of and tell me what to ask them. We will feature our best interview at the conclusion of the meet. Please leave your questions and requests as a comment on this page, we will check it throughout the week!
