Richardson, Ta Lou, and Hobbs all DNSd the women's 100 final but the stars that did compete in LA brought it and produced 7 world leads including Crouser's WR.

The meet produced 7 world leads including a world record. Ryan Crouser led the way with another WR in the men’s shot put (23.56). World leads also came in the women’s shot (Maggie Ewen 20.45), men’s pole vault (Mondo Duplantis 5.91), women’s 100h (Jasmine Camacho-Quinn 12.31), women’s 1500 (Diribe Welteji 3:57.84), men’s 1500 (Timothy Cheruiyot 3:31.47), and women’s 400 (Marileidy Paulino 48.98).

An embarrassing moment for the sport as a measurement error was not conveyed to the crowd, the  national tv audience or even the results system.

Ryan Crouser DELIVERED big time and became the first male Rio Olympian to defend his crown while the US men's 4 x 100 came up short yet again. Jamaica's Hansle Parchment earned a shock gold in the men's 110 hurdles in 13.04 as Holloway took silver in 13.09.

The first world record at the newly-renovated Hayward Field has fallen on the first day of the 2020 US Olympic Track and Field Trials -- and it was set by an Oregon native. Ryan Crouser crushed the men's shot put world record by 25 centimeters (9+ inches).

Hoppel stole the headline at the 2nd American Track League meet even though Ryan Crouser broke the old shot world record once again. Plus wins for Heather Maclean and Sammy Watson.

We hope you were entertained over the weekend. We try to tell you what it all means in our Week That Was column.

Randy Barnes' 32-year old record is history. Several others set world leads including Grant Holloway (7.35 AR in 60h), Trayvon Bromell (6.48 in 60), Fred Kerley (45.03in 400), Tonea Marshall (7.86 in w60h) and Quanera Hayes (51.76 in w400). Gabby Thomas moved to #6 all-time in the rarely run women's indoor 300 (35.92). *MB: Ryan Crouser SHATTERS indoor shot put world record on 1st throw at American Track League meet

No world records fell today in Ostrava but there was plenty of great action as a ton of BIG names picking up wins as the likes of Laura Muir, Faith Kipyegon, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Ryan Crouser, Karsten Warholm, Christian Taylor and Sifan Hassan all vanquished the competition.

From Allyson Felix and Grant Holloway in the sprints, to Joe Kovacs and Ryan Crouser in the throws, to Donavan Brazier, Filip Ingebrigtsen, and new phenom Jemma Reekie in the middle distances, studs will be everywhere in NYC on Saturday. *MB: Official 2020 NYRR Millrose Games Discussion Thread

It's relays week - normally one of the greatest weekends of the year for college track fans - but this year's calendar has us a little depressed as the big guns aren't competing with each other. Instead of everyone going to Penn or Drake, some are now going to Arkansas, others to LSU and others aren't going anywhere. Still, there are a few amazing races that we are really excited about but most of them are individual races ironically.

More interesting than that though is that Olympic champ Ryan Crouser will go against high jumper Ricky Robertson in a dunk competition during halftime of a Drake basketball game.

Some of the events at the 2017 Pre Classic are without a doubt better than the 2017 Rio Olympic finals. We're so excited we even preview the men's pole vault and women's 200 but we also will see a loaded women's 1500 with Faith Kipyegon, Laura Muir and Jenny Simpson and possibly the youngest sub-4 mile in history.

Crouser threw the shot 4 feet further than he did a year ago thanks to being able to focus on it being done with his masters in finance.

There is a buzz in the air in Birmingham as several collegiate marks could fall this weekend.

Great collegiate action, some big doping news, and a US pro's "red flag" guide to dopers.
