Nearly 1300 track and field athletes were on hand for the 2011 Carl Lewis Indoor Open.
There were no shortages of competitive action as club teams came from afar and near to competed.
Some races had as many as eight section finals, some were against times others were top times that advance to the evening finals.
Participants represented their schools, club teams, area or competed unattached throughout the day Saturday at the University of Houston’s Yeoman Field House.
For young athletes the early indoor meet is a way to see how they stack up against outside competitors. It also gives a chance to locate week areas and allows school athletes to tune up for the upcoming season that’s just ahead of them starting in the spring. Working out the kinks as well as technique is top priority for athletes.
