The LA Invitational, the last remaining elite indoor meet on the west coast, has just bit the dust:

You will have to get a free account with the LA Times; however, this account will allow you to see some great sports writing and as far as I can tell, they don't sell your information to anyone.

Former Sunkist Meet/LA Indoor will be missed

[color=green][b]The meet formerly The Sunkist has been a very good meet for years. Then in 1993 they had a problem where Bubka complained about the pit set up. It seemed that there were 3 different brand pits to make the pit bigger, they did not tie together and the wooden runway was very slick.

In spite of all the problems Bubka jumped 19’8â€Â
I love the PV, it is in my DNA
