It was a fantastic opening weekend in Winston-Salem for the JDL Fast Track, North Carolina's newest indoor track & field facility. From the Mondo surface (the same as used in the Beijing Olympics) to the ample space for both spectators and athletes, the whole event was a big hit, and the atmosphere was tremendous. Oh, and there were some great performances, too! How about four of the top 20 girls triple jump marks in the country all coming from the same runway? Any way you look at it, the meet was a success.
