Sacramento - July 14-23
2000 Sacramento - July 14-23 The location of the Trials was Sacramento State University, in Hornet Stadium, which was redeveloped prior to the Trials – thanks in part to a $1.1m donation by local property developer Alex Spanos – enabling a maximum crowd of 23,000 to attend. Like most American stadia it was open to the elements, which meant that sprint events were detrimentally affected by the wind, while a lack of cover gave the crowd the opportunity to be tenderized by the sun. The flat stands meant that the 2 outside lanes were virtually impossible to see by those not seated in the first few rows, and policing was required to prevent peoples’ view from being blocked. Other than these surmountable problems, the meeting was the usual competitive hotbed of triumph and tragedy, success and failure. 100 Meters - July 15, 18.00 Hr (-1.7w) 1. 4.
