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.
