Grand Slam Breakdown: Winners, Losers, Plus Taylor Roe’s Cherry Blossom World Best

The inaugural Grand Slam Track is in the books. What went right, what went wrong, and what were our thoughts? as Emmauel Wanyonyi pulled the upset over the Olympic milers Hocker, Kerr and Nuguse and picked up $100,000 as so did Grant Fisher in a controversial fashion.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone cruised to her $100,000 while at the Cherry Blossom 10 miler Taylor Roe broke the world best and was fantastic as Charles Hicks got the win on the men's side over Alex Maier who got the Americna record.
