Yokohama meet organizers bar M50 Willie Banks

Willie Banks won’t break the M50 triple jump record in Yokohama after all. Becuz he ain’t jumpin’. He reports that the Japanese meet organizers won’t let him join the meet. But Willie writes, hopefully: “Oh well, I will have to do it in the U.S., probably in Santa buy ultram online Barbara.” He refers to the annual Club West Masters Meet scheduled for Oct. 7 at the University of California Santa Barbara. Perhaps it’s all for the best — with the always professional USATF officials overseeing the event, making it easier for Willie to file his record paperwork.

    Was the decision due to anti-Americanism or because they didn’t want Willie to blow out the competition? You would think they would be honored to have someone of his stature compete in their meet.
