Murphy, Jr.: [0:00] Hello again everybody, Bob Murphy here and a very special chapter in Stanford sports today because one of the dearest friend I've ever had in my life and one of my great pals, Payton Jordan, is with us. Payton, this was scheduled long before you hit your little speed bump a week or so ago. So we'll tell the folks about that, but as we start doing this, I think of you and I sharing the better part of the last 50 years telling stories to one another. Laughing with one another. Laughing at one another. [laughter] Murphy: [0:38] But here we are to recap this. Tell the folks about your little speed bump, you're doing fine, you look great, things are gonna be fine. Payton Jordan: [0:46] I'm sure everything will be fine, I had a slight bump in road, had a little lump on my neck. And they found out it was a very rare cancer and we had to do a little cutting and we'll be doing some radiation and in no time at all, I'll be back up and at them. Murphy: [1:00] They didn't give you a face lift, too, because you're looking so pretty here. [both laugh] Jordan: [1:05] They kind of knit my nerves on one side a little bit, but I'm going to be OK. Murphy: [1:09] We're going to have fun talking about this, we're in no hurry, we're just gonna kind of ramble on.

The list of stadium records at Cobb Track and Angell Field is second to none. In addition, Cobb Track and Angell Field was the site of the 2002 and 2003 U.S. National and Junior National Championships, that featured track and field stars Marion Jones, Maurice Greene, Gail Devers, Allen Johnson and Adam Nelson. At the 2004 Cardinal Track and Field Invitational, 15 Olympic A-standards were achieved, including a track record by the great Sonia O’Sullivan of Ireland. Stanford’s Cobb Track and Angell Field has become the epicen- ter of track and field in the United States. Upon its renewed inception in 1996, former Director of Track and Field Vin Lananna stated, “The newly renovated Cobb Track and Angell Field is a wonderful homecoming for Stanford Track and Field. This restored facility makes it possible for Stanford to host top quality, national and international meets and provides a more intimate setting for the fans and a more visible location within the Stanford community. It is a tremendous step forward for our program, Stanford Athletics and the track and field world as a whole.” Cobb Track and Angell Field is the home of Stanford Track and Field. Through the dedicated efforts of many people, including Chuck Cobb, Otis Chandler and Pitch Johnson, Stanford’s dream for a state-of-the-art track and field facility has become a reality.

During those 25 years, the association had grown to become the largest in the United States with innovative and unique programs in all of the sports disciplines. This has been done by the concerted effort of our dedicated office staff and the many volunteers who work for the sport of athletics in Northern California and Northern Nevada. Consequently, the Board now felt that it was time to recognize these lifetime contributions of the members and athletes during that period. These include the disciplines of track & field, road racing, race walking, cross country, ultrarunning, mountain running and athletics for the disabled. Although there are a number of individual committee and board awards already in place to recognize the contribution of current endeavors and even a few for lifetime service, the Pacific Association Hall of Fame allows the membership to recognize and immortalize contributions to our local athletics sport scene, which are exceptional as well as sustaining.
