Packed House at the Pre

This past weekend marked the 34th annual Nike Prefontaine Classic track & field event, held in Eugene, Oregon.  Team Nutrilite was there once again, proudly displaying the Nutrilite brand amongst all the action.   As the crowd cheered on, Sanya Richards raced to yet another Women's 400-meter victory with a time of 50.10.  This excitement carried on in the Nutrilite tent as race attendees patiently waited for Sanya's autograph.  In addition to Sanya, attendees also had a chance to meet Asafa Powell.  Liu Xiang, who was a tentative participant in the 110-meter Hurdles, decided just prior to his race that he would indeed be running.  However, he was disqualified after a false start.   When asked what happened, Liu stated "nothing happened.  I didn't even realize I had the false start." 

 As we wrapped up our final track & field sponsored-event prior to the Olympic trials, the Nutrilite team was able to provide consumers with a broader knowledge of of who we are!  People were very excited about the Rhodiola 110, the new Energy Bars and the Sports Drinks that have been provided at each event.  This track and field season has been a great success for Nutrilite.  We hope you had a chance to either be a participant at an event or share in the excitement from your own home!  We'd love to hear your feedback about any of the events. 

 Continue to cheer for our athletes as they enter into the summer events, each of them with the ultimate goal in site...

I saw the track meet and enjoyed the Nutrilite banners as well as the commercial with Jenn Stuczynski. Very well done.

I am so excited about all the events that Team Nutrilite has been a part of! Now if only they were closer to me so I could go experience them in person... Guess I will just have to wait till January for the OC Marathon presented by Nutrilite.  I will be running in it again!!! woohoo!!
