TRAINING PROJECT
He is part of the WAR 800 training group [named after Ryan Sanchez, Andres Arroyo and Vazquez himself] that works with Puerto Rico national coach Carlos Guzman. "We thought that if we could achieve what we already have by being alone, without any training partners pushing us, we could benefit from being together and improve our times. That's the idea."
