The meeting served as a qualifier for the United States team at the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships. At the meeting, Christian Cantwell had hoped to break the indoor shot put world record, but he couldn't do it because the shot puts were only 125 millimetres (4.9 in) in diameter rather than his preferred 128 millimetres (5.0 in). He had asked a competitor Reese Hoffa to bring 128 mm shot puts, but Hoffa declined saying it wasn't his job to help a competitor, causing Cantwell to be "upset with him" making the World Indoors team. There was a photo finish in the men's 800 m, with many having thought that Nick Symmonds had actually won the race.
