  • 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.

  • Pre's Trail-Review
    The goal of this column is to describe a route/location, and let you know in my opinion if it’s all it’s cracked up to be. So if you have a favorite running route, let me know by contacting ORRC at [email protected] and I’ll give it a try. Pre’s Trail, Eugene, OR The trail forms a kind of figure eight, and if you run the full loop it’s a little over 4 miles around, although you can add an out and back portion near the I-5 overpass that extends it to almost 6 miles. And what I like most is that it’s all a nice soft surface (bark dust/chipped wood) so even though it’s a trail, it’s the kind of trail I like (not technical at all and wide enough to run side-by-side), and I could run on it forever. However, if dirt trails aren’t your cup of tea, there are sections of the trail that parallel bike paths so you have your choice of surface for some portions. The only thing you have to worry about if you run on the trails is getting your shoes cleaned up afterward. Is it a safe place to run? I ran this trail on a weekend morning, and there were so many people that I felt very comfortable in terms of safety. However, if I was running in the evening, or early morning, I’d probably feel more comfortable running with a friend, simply because it can feel a little isolated in some areas (particularly near the I-5 overpass).
