Due to thunder and rain delays, NYRR decided to delay and eventually cancel the local elite championship race of the 5th Avenue Mile. Athletes were in disbelief considering that the pros were still scheduled to start. About 20 mins after the cancellation was announced, the weather cleared up as it seemingly stopped raining altogether.
Crazy to think that they couldn't mange to squeeze in two 4-5 minute heats before the pros went off. Yikes.
