By 
Runlife

Once again, Payton Jordan did not disappoint! Perfect weather, great fields, and a very well run schedule. It's no secret why runners flock to this meet to get their Olympic Trials qualifier, Olympic A standard, or PR.

Highlights from our racers this weekend:

1. Rose Wetzel sizzled in the Rizzo Bikini to a 2:08.46 in the 800m
