It doesn't look like the Dick Small meet lasted very long as only 5 teams competed and a number of events weren't held including the biggest test of endurance in track and field - the 5000. There were definitely not long hard poles in Defiance, Ohio today either as the meet also lacked a pole vault. I guess the schedule was perfectly appropriate given the meet's name.
Additionally, no team scores were recorded so we'll have to wait a few weeks to see if there was any long term impact from today's fun activities.
Last but not least, despite what's been reported on twitter, no Tinman elite athletes competed.
