We have been informed that Justin Gatlin will be unable to attend camp next week due to continuing rehab for a
hamstring injury that occurred in mid-May during the 4x100m relay in Japan. The injury forced him to pull out of the Prefontaine Classic last weekend where he was scheduled to compete in a much anticipated showdown with Christian Coleman. Justin is disappointed that he cannot attend camp this year, and will have a message for our campers next week.
