Reebok Grand Prix field "one of best ever"

Just back to the hotel after spending six hours setting up the Nutrilite tent, autograph and VIP area for tomorrow's Reebok Grand Prix. 

This is my first outdoor event and I love it already.  The venue - Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island in New York City - is fabulous.  The rain that kept us layered in clouds all day yesterday and this morning has lifted and bright sunshine is the forecast.

We should see one of the best collective U.S. meets in years, with the likes of world champion Tyson Gay, Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown, Olympic silver medalists Jenn Stuczynski and Richard Thompson, former World Champion Lauryn Williams and Sweden's Olympic gold medalist Carolina Klüft in town to compete.  So too is Asafa Powell, former world record holder and still one of the fastest men in the world.

Three-time defending pole vault champion at the Reebok Grand Prix Jenn Stuczynski is looking to push herself even further this weekend. “With my training and the way I’ve been jumping,” said Stuczynski, “I hope to get over 5 meters this year.” The Fredonia, New York native will also have lots of crowd support. “A lot of my family and friends are coming down to watch on Saturday,” added Stuczynski.

Look for a "live from the RGP" post complete with photos later tomorrow.  And for those who cannot catch this event in person, be sure to watch it live on NBC from 4:30 to 6.
