In a post shared on a prominent track account, Owen M captured the mounting frustration and uncertainty among fans gearing up for the Miramar Invitational 2024. Accompanied by a side-splitting GIF that read, “Make it Make Sense,” Owen’s message resonated with the community. The post read, “Less than 2 days until the meet starts, and we still don’t have start lists for the Miramar Invitational.”

Owen M further posed a rhetorical question from the perspective of a potential attendee, using the example of someone living in Florida and asking, “Why should I buy tickets for a meet if I don’t even know who’s gonna be competing there until a few hours before it starts?” As Owen’s post gained traction, it became evident that the lack of clarity wasn’t just irking him but was a source of vexation for numerous fans, as evident from the flurry of frustrated comments that followed.

Owen M’s post pulled in a chorus of frustrated fans, echoing his sentiments as the event is just two days away. RoriDunk, another prominent track account, contributed to the conversation, lamenting the absence of hype videos, marketing, or social media ads for an event boasting some of the world’s finest athletes. Owen M’s response stated that this is why the sport is struggling when such promotional efforts are lacking.

Another fan highlighted the stark contrast in promotional strategies, noting the extremes of either announcing athletes months in advance or keeping fans completely in the dark.

Meanwhile, a fan expressed their frustration with the relentless anticipation, refreshing the event website in vain.
