Portland, Oregon: home to several nice bridges, severe gentrification, and lovely late spring weather. The 2017 Portland Twilight meet is taking advantage of that latter fact in hosting their third annual meet.

Initially created as a qualifying meet for collegiate athletes looking to punch their tickets to their national championship, the meet has grown to feature high-quality professional talent.

Citius Mag will have some boots on the ground this weekend at the meet, and after all the running events conclude on Saturday (May 13) we will be teaming up with everyone’s favorite post-collegiate group of hot-tub enthusiasts, the Jacuzzi Boys Athletic Club, to host the official after party at Burnside Brewing. In addition to plenty of high fives and Scott Olberding singing Macy Gray’s “I Try” on karaoke when provoked, Burnside will be offering Happy Hour pricing all night for our little get together.

*If you’re going to be at the party, stick around until the end of this article to let us know so we can get a head count on how much Scott will have to fork over for mozzarella sticks and jalapeno poppers.
