Penn Relays 2015 from my perspective

Penn Relays was cold but it was an exciting weekend nonetheless. I wonder why more performance-friendly facilities were not made available for athletes. There is the basketball gymnasium near the Stadium where athletes could have used to stay warm and even do warm ups.
On Saturday morning, there was a team sitting in the cold, having nowhere to go, because the security had said they could not enter the gymnasium at that time. These kids were dressed like they were facing winter. It must have been difficult for them seeing that they spend their lives in high 80’s to 90’s degree temperature and now have to perform in 50 degree weather. The condition is what it is I know but I am of the opinion that accommodation can be made for these athletes who have no time to acclimatize themselves and have to be at the Stadium early in the morning and hours before their event.
