I will be adding more detail for all the great racing that will be occurring in this biggest of years (Tokyo Olympics!) for the top Buffs, but wanted to quickly start this thread now, as a couple #ForeverBuffs had, I believe, their 1st races of the year.
This will of course, hopefully, be a huge year for the most elite Buffs, as they will be working on attaining their highest professional goals every 4 years (or 5 years this time due to the pandemic) - qualifying for and then giving their best efforts at the Olympics, with track and field scheduled to be competed in Tokyo from July 31st through August 8th. Other Buffs will be looking to advance their careers, and may just be shooting for strong performances up to and through the U.S. Olympic Trials, scheduled for June 18th- 27th in Eugene.
