Meet Director, Greg Harger said, "The very essense of our series was highlighted in the women's 800 meter winner and the men's 1500 runner-up where a couple of young athletes competing "unattached" just blasted through the USA National "A" Standard for their respective event with fearless racing mindsets".  Harger added, "and now we get to enjoy the drama of Saturday night when someone will step up and be the last athlete to secure a spot at USA Nationals, who will it be"?
