It has a low-key, unpretentious atmosphere. Winners were ushered to a couch for interviews conducted over the stadium’s public address system. Those over 21 were presented with a local micro-beer.” -Ken Goe of The Oregonian reporting on the 2019 Portland Track Festival “The top athletes come to secure World Championship and Olympic standards, while rising stars get a chance to run with the best, even if it is just for a post-race jog.” -The Tempo Journal’s recap of the 2019 Portland Track Festival “The teammates’ times from Tuesday are especially stunning, given the low-stakes setting they ran them in. They managed to run faster than the 2016 Rio Olympics final" -Runner’s World’s recap of the Portland 5,000 Portland Track Festival History 2008 / The inaugural Portland Track Festival brings the first prize money track event to Portland since the former Oregon Track Classic. 2009 / Lewis and Clark College became the new home of PTF and the meet featured one of the deepest high school mile fields of all time, including several future NCAA champions and 2016 Olympian Robby Andrews. 2010 / 2012-16 Olympian Kim Conley won the Women’s 5000 in a breakout season and Ed Moran turned in the meet’s first sub-13:30 in the men’s race; a record that lasted until 2014. 2011 / The Women’s 5000 was the highlight again with four Olympians – Amy Cragg, Desiree Linden, Kim Conley, and Amy Yoder Begley leading seven women under 16 minutes, including Cragg’s world championship qualifying time of 15:19.61. 2012 / The Olympic year increased the spotlight on the PTF as newcomers and veteran athletes used the meet as final preparation for the Olympic Trials in Eugene and Olympic Games in London. 16 women qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 10,000. From there it only got better with OT qualifiers in nearly every event. 2013 / This was the breakout year for high school phenom Mary Cain who selected the PTF as the best opportunity to add a qualifying mark for the World Championships in the 5000m. Cain hit the mark and set a National High School Record in the process. 2014 / Dozens of Olympians from the US, Canada, Australia, and beyond dazzled the PTF crowd, including double gold medalist Mo Farah who won the Men’s 5,000m High-Performance race and was swarmed by fans. 2015 / Momentum for the PTF swelled with 528 athletes competing. Meet records fell in the Women’s 800m (1:59), Women’s steeplechase (9:45), Men’s steeplechase (8:26), Women’s 1500m (4:07), and Women’s 5,000m (15:07). However, the show stopper was a 1500m duel between Evan Jager and Garett Heath that ended with Jager taking the victory with a world-leading time of 3:32.97. 2016 / On the Road to Rio, 37 athletes qualified for the Olympic Trials at the Portland Track Festival and 16 hit the automatic qualifying time for the Games. The bittersweet moment of the meet came when Akron Zips standout, Clayton Murphy, missed the Olympic Standard for the men's 1500m by three- hundredths of a second. This heartbreaking moment set Murphy on a fascinating new path to victory as he switched to the 800 and stunned fans and competitors alike by earning a Bronze Medal in London. 2017 /The Portland Track Festival qualified 43 athletes to the USATF Championships and 16 of those also achieved the qualifying times required to toe the line at the World Championship in London. 2018 / This has been an exciting year as we debuted a speaker series dubbed Tracklandia in March and then welcomed a record 821 athletes to the Portland Track Festival. Hot of his Silver medal performance at the World Indoor Championship, Drew Windle delighted the Portland fans by winning a star-studded men’s 800. 2019 / Craig Engles charged in the final 200m for a close win in the men’s 1500, securing the World Championship standard and dazzling friends that watched from his RV parked on the second turn. Konstanze Klosterhalfen won the women’s 1500 in dominating fashion before going on to run a German national record of 14:21 in the 5,000 later in the summer.

  • The Other Bill
    © Copyright 12/1/2017 Phil Sutton The Other Bill By Phil Sutton, OTC member Special to the Oregon Track Club Track and field fans know the names Bill Bowerman and Bill Dellinger. They both made their mark on the sport while coaching at the University of Oregon. Well, there was another “Bill” in sports at the University of Oregon. Bill Hayward coached at the UO for 44 years (yes, over four decades!). He was Oregon’s first full time track coach. He laid the foundation for the University Oregon’s track and field program and molded it into a national powerhouse. He is considered the grandfather of today’s Duck program. Historic Hayward Field is named in his honor. William Louis Heyward was born in 1868 in Detroit, Michigan. His last name was Heyward with an “e” but he changed the spelling to Hayward in the early 1890’s. His father was English and his mother Canadian. When Bill was ten, his parents moved to Peru to manage a rubber plantation. They left Bill, his brother and three sisters with grandparents. They raised the children for the next ten years, first in Detroit and then in Toronto, Canada. As a young man Bill lived in Vancouver, Canada. He was employed as a fireman in one of the city’s firehouse brigades. Bill and his wife also owned a fruit and cigar stand. The photo of Bill Hayward above was taken in the 1940's. All photographs and video in this article are credited to University of Oregon Libraries, Special Collections & University Archives unless otherwise indicated.

This year’s field includes reigning USATF marathon national champions Emma Bates and Brogan Austin, and five U.S. women with personal records (PRs) faster than 2:30 (including two of the top 10 fastest women in U.S. history). “This year’s elite field highlights an exciting resurgence we are seeing in American distance running right now,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “We have a deep pool of American runners who are coming to Chicago to run fast, and we cannot wait to welcome them in the fall. We could see new American records and a lot of personal bests in October.” American women’s field With a PR of 2:20:57, Hasay leads this year’s field as the second-fastest American woman in history and the fastest to ever run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Hasay hopes to put Deena Kastor’s long-standing American record, 2:19:36, in jeopardy. But Hasay’s primary competitor won’t be the clock alone – Amy Cragg, Emma Bates, Stephanie Bruce, Lindsay Flanagan and Taylor Ward represent a strong contingent of U.S.

They will also go head-to-head with a mighty contingent of international athletes led by Mo Farah, past champions Abel Kirui and Dickson Chumba, 2017 runner-up Brigid Kosgei, and two- time third-place finisher and sub-2:20 runner Birhane Dibaba. “We are thrilled with this year’s overall elite field,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “There is an incredible amount of talent and momentum on the American women’s side, and Rupp is leading a resurgence on the men’s side. These athletes are going to put on quite a show in October, and they are going to keep alive Chicago’s legacy of supporting and showcasing top U.S. athletes.” American Men’s Field Elkanah Kibet surprised race commentators during his marathon debut at the 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon when he bolted to the front of the elite field with 22 miles to go and put a 15-second gap on the field.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago.
