We were also fortunate enough to have three guest speakers – Kim McManus, vice president of the Oregon Track Club, filling in for the president, Erin Regali; Tom Heinonen, the retired head coach of the Oregon women’s team, and Vin Lananna, the president of TrackTown. Heinonen, on hand to impart the legacy of Gerlinger, took that opportunity not to regale us with stories of how the building was once used for women’s athletics but instead to point out something much more important. It was the set for a scene in the classic movie “Animal House,” much of which was filmed on the Oregon campus in 1978. It was, in fact, the sorority house where Frank learns that his “fiancée,” Fawn Leibowitz, has died in a kiln accident. Honest. Tom’s office can be seen in the back- ground, shuttered in pink curtains. Awards • USTFCCCA Tom Lewis, of the U.S. Track & Cross Country Coaches Association, presented that group’s annual media award to Jake Most, of the University of Kentucky. The USTFCCCA gra- ciously helps underwrite the cost of our Breakfast. • Bud Greenspan Memorial Award for Documentary Film First announced at our Winter get-together in New York in February, the plaque was presented in person to Sterling Noren, the director, who drove down from Seattle on his motorcycle to accept for his film “Run Free: The True Story of Caballo Blanco,” the late ultramarathoner who was the basis of the bestselling book “Born to Run.” Noren showed a 3-minute clip and answered questions. • Pinkie Sober Award for Past Excellence in Track & Field Announcing Af- ter praising the namesake of the award for being his own inspiration, Bob Hersh, the initial recipient of this award, presented this year’s award to the late Jack O’Reilly, longtime announcer at the IC4A, the Heps and the Penn Relays. O’Reilly’s fellow Philadelphian, Dave Johnson, the director of the Penn Relays, accepted on behalf of O’Reilly and his family. • Scott Davis Award for Track & Field Announcing Won by Paul Swangard, the current home announcer at Hayward Field. Swangard praised Davis for being his mentor. Presented by Dave Johnson. • Adam Jacobs Award for Excellence in Track & Field Blogging To George Brose and Roy Mason for the history-based blog Onceuponatimeinthevest.com. Neither was on hand to ac- cept. The blog, Brose told me by phone, began in the ‘80s as snail mail, then went online five years ago. The title is a takeoff on the Clint Eastwood movie. It is a series of examinations of back issues of Track & Field News magazine, beginning in 1952, and readers’ responses to that. Brose, 72, used to live in Ohio, was a miler at Oklahoma U. and now lives in Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Ma- son, 76, lives in Ukiah, Calif. They are currently working on the T&FN issue of June 1965. “We figure if we make it to ’70,” Brose told me, “we’ll pack it in.” • Rich Clarkson Award for Excellence in Track & Field Photography Present- ed by Clarkson himself to Thomas Boyd, of The Oregonian. Boyd has also been a photographer for the Columbian (Vancouver, Wash.) and the Eugene Register-Guard. • Sam Skinner Award for Exemplary Cooperation with Track & Field Jour- nalists Presented to Lance Harter, head women’s coach at the University of Arkansas. Harter, a 1972 graduate of Texas Tech, previously coached at Smoky Hill HS in Denver and Cal Poly/SLO. • James O. Dunaway Memorial Award for Excellence in Track & Field Jour- nalism This award, previously named for the New York newspaperman Jesse Abramson, has been renamed for Jim Dunaway, who passed away earlier this year in Austin, Texas. Dunaway was a legend- ary reporter and newsman, mostly as a freelance for The New York Times, as well as a devoted sup- porter of TAFWA, serving several terms as president. The first winner of the resulting Dunaway Award is Steve Ritchie, a freelance himself for many years for the Statesman-Journal in nearby Salem. Ritchie TAFWA Newsletter - Page 2 - June 2015 also has his own website, steveritchieontrack.com, and has been the head track coach at Kennedy HS in Mt. Angel, Ore., for the past 18 years. He was Class 2A girls Coach of the Year in Oregon this season, as a matter of fact, so the Ritchie family awards display case is filling up. Ritchie, who lives in Silverton, is also president of the Benedictine Foundation, which benefits the Queen of Angels Monastery in Mt. Angel. Demi Payne (Stephen F. Austin) and Sandi Morris (Arkansas), first and second respectively in Thursday evening’s dramatic women’s pole vault, were on hand and graciously answered questions about their event and rivalry. Vin Lananna made a presentation on behalf of TrackTown and responded to questions about upcom- ing plans for the World Indoor in 2016 in Portland, the World Outdoor in 2021 in Eugene, and the anticipated overhaul of Hayward Field. He said that the target capacity for the World Outdoor meet is 30,000, less than half of which is to be permanent seating. Social Event Sunday morning, June 28 A social event for members only will be held on Sunday morning, June 28, the final day of the USATF Nationals, at the home of members Tom and Janet Heinonen in Eugene, starting at 9 AM. A light breakfast and beverages will be served. The address is 1012 E. 21st Ave., not far from Hayward Field, the intersection of 21st and Harris. FAST Annuals The 2015 edition is in our possession. Some were distributed in person at the NCAA meet, and the rest are being mailed as we speak. If you want an additional copy etc., additional copies will be available in Eugene during Nationals. For 2016, we are in preliminary negotiations to have the Annual ready for distribution by the end of February, in time for the US and World Indoor meets, both of which will be held in Portland next March.

  • Top 10 Steve Prefontaine Quotes
    Top 10 Steve Prefontaine Quotes By: Johanna Gretschel for MileSplit Last January 25th was Steve Prefontaine's 65th birthday. The legend of "Pre," as the crowds cheered in 1970s Hayward Field, or "Rube," as University of Oregon coaches Bill Bowerman and Bill Dellinger addressed their young protegé, looms large in the public imagination. Why does the world continue to love Steve Prefontaine? One, because the world never got to see what he could do. He died in a car accident in 1975 at age 24. In that brief lifetime, Pre won 119 of 151 outdoor track races including six NCAA titles and set 15 American records at every distance from two miles through 10K. Two, because of his forthright personality. Pre was a champion of athletes' rights -- he fought the AAU for a better living wage at a time when Olympic hopefuls were not allowed to accept payment for racing -- and an outspoken competitor -- someone who never shied away from declaring his intent on running For The Win. That outspokenness has granted Pre immortality. His quotes live on on T-shirts, posters and countless social media channels as daily affirmations for inspiration towards athletic greatness. Scroll through the slideshow to see a few of our favorites. Happy Birthday, Steve. Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it. I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

  • 2017 Annual Meeting Committee Reports
    2017 USATF ANNUAL MEETING COMMITTEE REPORTS 2017 Athletes Advisory Committee Annual Report Submitted October 30, 2017 Purpose: The purpose of this report is to summarize the strategic goals and progress towards such of the USATF Athletes Advisory Committee in 2017. Strategic Goal #1: Athlete Funding & Support Increase athlete funding through prize money, stipends, Revenue Distribution Plan The RDP contract is being finalized between the national office and the AAC to ensure fair treatment and no room for interpretation. A plan for the 2018 RDP money (since there is no team to make and be paid for) is being presented to the national office. Athletes need to be paid on time, in a predictable manner. A schedule is being put together detailing when each type of payment can be expected (Tier payments, prize money, RDP), to which the national office will be held accountable. The Emergency Relief Fund was finalized in 2016 to provide emergency financial assistance to current or recently retired athletes facing a catastrophic event causing financial distress. In 2017, the fund was first used to help athletes in dire situations. USATF has funded the account initially, with the AAC being responsible for future fundraising. Strategic Goal #2: Domestic Competitive Opportunities It is important to the AAC that we continue to seek out opportunities for domestic competitions to reduce the dependency on the European circuit. 2019 will be an especially important year, as the World Championships will take place much later than usual (late Sept/early Oct). We will need domestic competitive opportunities in June, July and August of 2019.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Oregon women claim first indoor track crown: The No. 1-ranked Oregon women made their first Division I NCAA Indoor Track and field National Championship look easy, claiming the title March 13 by piling up 61 points. Defending champ fourth-ranked Tennessee was second with 36 points, followed by No. 3 LSU (35), No. 4 Florida (33) and No. 2 Texas A&M (31). Oregon won without coach Vin Lananna, who was forced to stay in Oregon for medical reasons. The Ducks also overcame a disappointing 13-point first night that left them five points behind leader Auburn. “Their spirits were getting down,” assistant coach Robert Johnson said, “and I was like, ‘Look, you’ve got to stop that getting down and throwing a pity party. We’re still in this thing. As long as you guys rally around each other, we can get this thing done.’” Despite the late-night pep talk, Johnson was unsure if his message had its intended effect. “I didn’t feel so good after the meeting, but when I got to see them this morning their spirits were up,” he said. Brianne Theisen kept the good vibes going, winning the pentathlon and putting the Ducks ahead for good. Jordan Hasay and Anne Kesselring then ran fourth and sixth, respectively, in the mile to give Oregon 31 points. Keshia Baker gave the Ducks all the points they would need with a second-place finish in the 400-meter dash. Francena McCorory of Hampton won the event, setting an American record by finishing in 50.54 seconds.

  • Southern Oregon Past& Medford's Nike Connection: Bill Bowerman By
    Medford’s Nike Connection: Bill Bowerman By Dennis Powers Former Medford High football player and coach, Bill Bowerman, later went on to become a legend in coaching track--and a co-founder of Nike. He played for another stand-out, Prink Callison, whose Medford teams had a 44-game win streak at one time and won three state championships from 1926 to 1928. The 1928 Medford “Tigers” (as the team was called then)--one of the best teams ever in Southern Oregon--averaged 36 points a game, limited opponents to 40 points for the entire season, and Bill Bowerman was their left end. Born in 1911, Bowerman moved to Medford when he was 10 years old. Raised by his mother and aunts (his father left the family when he was 2), he was “a mean little kid,” by his own admission. When he went out for football as a sophomore, Callison wouldn’t put up with his antics and kicked him off the varsity team to junior varsity. Bowerman credits both him and Superintendent Hedrick (for whom the middle school on East Jackson Street is named) as disciplinarians who straightened him out. He also played basketball and edited the school newspaper. After high school, he went to the University of Oregon (“OU”) and became a quarter- mile runner under legendary Ducks’ track coach, Colonel Bill Hayward; this coach became the mentor under which Bowerman modeled himself and learned the “concepts of greatness,” as he reminisced. With his bachelor’s degree in 1934, Bowerman decided to attend medical school, but he first had to earn tuition.
