  • 2020 MCDC Sponsorship
    RUN MCDC RUN MCDC MUSIC CITY DISTANCE CARNIVAL: EVENT PROFILE The Music City Distance Carnival - or MCDC as it has come to be known - has, for the last 17 years, proved to be the South’s premiere track meet. In its relatively short history, it has yielded more Tennessee All-Comers re- cords, state high school records, and Olympic Trials and National Championships qualifying performances than any other track meet in the state, and has produced more sub-4 minute miles than any other track meet in the entire southern United States. The meet can boast the second fastest outdoor mile ever recorded in Tennessee, at 3:55.65, and it has produced a total of 29 sub-4 minute miles. It also gave Nashville its first ever sub-4 in 2005, courtesy of 2-time Olympian, Anthony Famiglietti, and has yielded two Masters World records, including the amazing 3:58.79 clocking by 40-year-old Anthony Whiteman in 2012. Last year’s meet saw 10-time U.S. champion Emma Coburn provide a thrilling climax to the meet with a down to the wire win in the women’s 1500m. IMPACT OF COVID-19 The Covid-19 Pandemic has turned the sporting world upside down, and the sport of Track & Field is no excep- tion. With the Olympic Games and the U.S. Olympic Trials postponed until 2021, and with no U.S. Champion- ships replacement on the horizon, the sport’s biggest stage this year is likely to be right here in Nashville. Last year, MCDC had over 600 runners of all ages and abilities participating, and the meet drew a crowd of around 2500 at Vanderbilt University.

  • Friends of Oregon Track and Field
    OREGON TEAM Friends of Oregon UPDATE Track and Field NOVEMBER 2014 Dear Friends of Oregon Track and Field, With just over a week left in the 2014 cross country season, the Ducks have put themselves in outstanding positions heading into the NCAA West Regional and NCAA Championships over the next two weekends. The men’s and women’s cross country season started with some early-September excitement at the annual Bill Dellinger Invitational, which returned to Pre’s Trail for the first time since 2010. Oregon welcomed Michigan State, for cross country and football match-ups, in a race that was featured on the ESPNU program Road Trip. Both squads were impressive in their season debuts and headed to Sunriver, Oregon for their summer training camp with high expectations for their season. The next competition of the year for both teams showed significant progress over the short three week training period. The men returned to Boston for the second straight year and placed five runners in the top ten to handily beat a Syracuse team that has gone on to dominate their conference and is now ranked third nationally. The women’s team faced a top field at the Washington Invitational a week later, where they outlasted very good Stanford, Washington and Villanova teams. The teams faced their final regular season tests in mid-October at the Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana, where both teams finished second amongst a large field size. Defending NCAA Champion Edward Cheserek made a move to the lead around the 5,000 meter mark to win his sixth straight cross country race while teammate Eric Jenkins finished third in one of the strongest fields the pair will face this season.
