The Kansas Relays took their show to downtown Lawrence Wednesday night to much success. An estimated crowd of at least 2,500 gathered around a man-made shot put area on the corner of Eighth and New Hampshire Streets and witnessed some of the best in the world perform in a fun, excitement-packed setting.
Armstrong's winning distance is quite good, just 6 centimeters off his own Canadian Record.
If 2,500 is an accurate number, it's among the 25 best-attended "track meets" in the USA this year.
Christian Cantwell had been announced as an entrant when the lineups were first made public, but apparently he's not recovered from shoulder surgery yet.
