Here is a press release from USATF:
Perfect! No more usa competitions in high altitude - meaning that Bernard Lagat won't have the big advantage against the other guys who aren't used to racing(and sprinitng) well in that altitude as he is(or not so much anymore as he's getting old).
Perfect! Can't wait to go!

Lagat's competition is free to train at altitude. Most of them do, don't they?
I love Reggie, but was hoping it'd say BU. The Reggie needs some major upgrades to be a fast track for many events. BU isn't as nice of a venue for watching but for competing it destroys Reggie.

Sorry missed the part about their new surface. Is it a big improvement? Did they raise the banks? If not it doesn't matter it'll still suck (compared to the best tracks) for fast times in half the events unless they've improved that.
Reggie is undergoing an upgrade now so should be in top shape for the USATF Nationals.
