Wet start as WMA South American regional meet nears end

The South Americans are holding an eight-day WMA regional championships in Medellin, Colombia. The meet ends Sunday, but results have been posted here. WMA reports that more than 1,800 are entered. But they’re dealing with bad weather, a la Porto Alegre worlds in 2013. Sigh. WMA Prez Stan Perkins reports: “A very severe storm that occurred two days before had created lots of problems for [organizers], particularly in regard to the cross country where many large trees were blown down and covered sections of the course. Franctic work by volunteers and local government workers got the course cleared but the debris was still evident on day one when this section of the competition took place on Sunday 2 November. Track events also started the same day at the Medellin Athletics Stadium and despite a late start and intermittent rain all scheduled events were completed.” Photo galleries by day are being posted here.

Looks like a nice fast track in Medellin for South America WMA regionals.
