ATHENS, Greece—U.S. and British Virgin Islands track and field coaches Neville Hodge and Dag Samuels are glad Tuesday’s technical meeting is behind them as they look to Friday’s track and field competition. The Shot Put events start at 10 a.m. today in Olympia.

“I think everything is pretty much in place and they gave us an overview of what’s going on and how things are going to run,” Hodge said. “I think all of us needed that information to know that our athletes will be well taken care of. What wasn’t given could have been collected from a technical area so I think the meeting went fairly well.”
