OTC Officers Elected for 2021 Greetings from a Good Friend Volume 120 | January 2021 Download a PDF of this newsletter here! OTC Officers Elected for 2021 The Oregon Track Club Board of Directors recently approved the Club’s officers for 2021. The 2021 officers are: • President: Kevin Marbury • Senior Vice President: Erin Regali • Vice President-Membership Services: Ian Dobson • Vice President-Events: John Truax • Secretary: Jeanne Kofranek • Treasurer: Molly Wildman These officers will serve on the OTC Executive Committee along with the OTC Masters President. The current Masters President is Bettina Huber. The OTC Past President position on the Executive Committee is vacant at this time. Greetings from a Good Friend Dear Friends, Greetings from the east coast. I am sure that we have never been more excited about welcoming in a new year. 2020 has been a challenge for many of us. The COVID pandemic, the economic downturn, and the civil division around social injustices have created a negative triple whammy. It has been troubling to see collegiate track and field programs eliminated. On the bright side, I have always believed that when Hayward Field and the Oregon Track Club are healthy, then our sport can be optimistic. From all indications, TrackTown USA is thriving even in this environment. It is time to play offense! Read the rest of Vin’s message to the OTC Vin Lananna Pre Classic Returns to Hayward The 46th OTC/Nike Prefontaine Classic returns to Hayward Field on August 21, 2021. For the first time ever, the meet will be held post-Olympic Games, two weeks after the Closing Ceremonies in Tokyo. The August date will provide the best chance to have not only the stars of the Games but perhaps fans in the stands. The latter, of course, will depend on what restrictions are in place in eight months. If spectators are allowed into Hayward Field, tickets will go on sale in early summer of 2021 from goducks.com or 800-WEBFOOT. Priority will be given to UO season ticket holders, previous Prefontaine Classic purchasers, and Oregon Track Club members. When more detailed information is available, it will be posted on preclassic.com. The Pre Classic was held at Stanford University in 2019 due to the renovation of Hayward Field. The 2020 Pre meet was canceled due to the pandemic. The meet remains the only U.S. stop in the Wanda Diamond League Series, an annual series of invitational elite track and field events. OTC Hosts Training Groups for Youth, High School Kids There were still miles to run and fun to be had this fall for local youth and high school-aged kids. The OTC Youth Cross Country and High School Program safely provided training for 71 kids, grades two to eight, and 30 high school-aged youth. The younger team members practiced two days per week from September through November and were supported by 11 volunteer coaches, including members of the OTC Elite Team. This training format allowed smaller training pods by grade level while still enjoying the energy of the full team being in the park together. The young runners learned drills, played running games, completed several time trials, and even experienced a race, complete with timing and The OTC youth and high school practice groups results by Eclectic Edge Racing. gather at Alton Baker Park.

Read more about the Youth Program BRAVEY: Chasing Dreams, Befriending Pain, and Other Big Ideas By Curtis Anderson, Oregon Track Club Elite Press Officer One night, before a particularly daunting workout, Alexi Pappas sat down and typed out the following poem: run like a bravey sleep like a baby dream like a crazy replace can't with maybe It was the first time Pappas had ever used the word bravey in one of her whimsical rhymes, and it resonated far and wide. It even sparked a movement, representing all those who were willing to chase their dreams, no matter how scary or intimidating they might be. Being a bravey was something to be celebrated. Read the Bravey book review Was He Writing About OTC Youth Programs? Sebastian Coe is the president of World Athletics, the world governing body for track and field. During his track career, Coe won four Olympic medals. He set nine outdoor and three indoor world records in middle-distance track events, including setting three world records in the space of 41 days. He recently wrote an article about the importance of community sports in introducing kids to track and field and providing them with initial training. Coe’s article focused on British community sports but his comments apply to the Oregon Track Club Youth Programs. Read about the OTC Youth Programs Sebastian Coe Out of the Blocks: Hindsight and 2020 By Kevin Marbury, OTC president Happy New Year! There’s a saying, “hindsight is 20/20.” I think we can all agree that we are very happy that “2020 is now in our hindsight!” I know I am looking forward to returning to living a life that doesn’t represent repeatedly falling off a cliff. As challenging as this past year has been, I believe there has been value in some of what we have experienced. Let me be clear that I am in no way saying that COVID, social unrest, the summer fires, or the craziness associated with this past election cycle were experiences that anyone hopes to encounter again. I acknowledge that, individually and collectively, these events have brought tremendous pain and suffering to so many for so long. Kevin Marbury Read Kevin’s other comments and insights State Officials Selected for National Championships The United States Track and Field Association (USATF) recently announced the officials selected to officiate three USATF national championship meets: USATF Indoor Combined Events Championship, USATF Indoor Championship, and the USATF U20 Outdoor Championship (athletes under 20 years old). Four Oregonians were among the selected officials: Roger Hall (U20 Championship), Bill Linhart (U20 Championship), Carol McLatchie (Indoor and U20 Championships), and Ron Swick (U20 Championship). McLatchie and Swick are OTC members. Read which OTC members were selected for the Trials Register for the Butte to Butte Registration for the 2021 Aquafina/OTC Butte to Butte run and walk is open. This regional classic is on the Fourth of July, a Sunday this year. The event offers a 10K, 5K and 4-mile walk. You can register here. There is no race day registration. The Butte to Butte requires over 200 volunteers each year. If you are available to assist with packet pick-up or as a course marshal on race day, please let Eclectic Edge Racing know through the volunteer page on its website. We look forward to seeing you on July 4th! Masters Board Elections Set for this Month Although the OTC Masters Annual Dinner and Meeting, typically held in mid-January, is canceled due to the pandemic, the election of Officers and Board members for 2021 still needs to take place in January. The Board recently adopted a change to the Masters’ bylaws, switching the previous three three-year Board Director positions to become one-year Director positions. The proposed slate of Officer and Board nominees are: President: Bettina Huber One-year Directors: Jane Dods Vice-President: Mike Cahn David Gates Secretary: Trisha Kluge Suzy Hess-Wojcik Treasurer: Sandy Pashkin Kevin Marbury Past President: Trisha Kluge Alison Wood Read details about the election and annual awards Oregon Track Club MASTERS News Visit the Masters History Website Did you know there is a website devoted to archiving and presenting the history of Masters track and field? The website calls itself, “The Museum of Masters Track & Field.” It is a project of the USATF Masters Historical Task Force. The site is packed with Masters information and photos, including the men and women’s Masters Hall of Fame honorees (there are some Oregon names on these lists). There is also an archive of Masters newsletters and magazines (some date back to the 1960s). You will find Masters World, American, Meet, Club, and International records listed as well as a wealth of additional interesting content. Treat yourself by visiting: mastershistory.org.

  • NBNI Meet Program
    Welcome We welcome all the outstanding participants to the 2018 New Balance Nationals Indoor Championships. And we wish a special welcome to all parents, coaches, and friends – all of whose support is invaluable. Our organization, the National Scholastic Athletics Foundation, does more than present national-caliber track and field and cross country events. We also actively support clinics and other meets with substantial financial commitments. Over the years, NSAF has grown from helping a few athletes to one that annually enables over 10,000 athletes to participate in various meets and activities. This is the 35th edition of the event, which has had various names since its inception in 1984. We are again happy to have New Balance as our title sponsor. New Balance is a wonderful part- ner – we have been together for eight years, and we expect to be together for many more years to come. We mourn the loss of Dr. Norbert Sander, who passed unexpectedly a few days after last year’s meet. Dr. Sander was the driving force in making The Armory what it is today. He is sorely missed. We appreciate The Armory’s new leadership, led by Rita Finkel and Jonathan Schindel, with whom we have a great relationship. We trust that everyone present these three days will have memorable experiences, and we wish everyone great success! Sincerely, Jim Spier Meet Director Congratulations on earning a spot at New Balance Nationals Indoor 2018! Your determination, work ethic, and incredible talent qualified you for this very special world class indoor track & field meet. Like many Olympians before you, your capability created the opportunity to compete at an elite level and enjoy this one of a kind experience.

  • The OTC and Tracktown ​​Loses a Good Friend and Leader
    Volume 96 | January 2019 Dow nload a PDF of this new sletter here! The OTC and TrackTown ​​Loses a Good Friend and Leader Barbara Kousky, a driving force in the Oregon Track Club, passed away on December 17. Barbara was a tireless volunteer and leader in the OTC for decades. Her good friend and former business partner, Tom Jordan, shared this tribute: Dedicated, selfless, intense, warm, and loyal – with the passing of Barbara Kousky, the Oregon track and field community has lost one of its brightest lights. From her time as president of the OTC Masters, to several terms Barbara Kousky as USA Track & Field Masters Chair, to a 20-year partnership in Northwest Event Management, to extensive volunteer work in every aspect of track and field and in the community, Barbara gave her all to every endeavor. It was my great privilege to be Barbara's business partner in Northwest Event Management for 20 years, and her friend for far longer than that. She brought her high standard of excellence to all of the events we helped organize -- two USA Championships, three National Masters Championships, one World Veterans' Championships, 13 Butte to Butte events, the 2004 Junior Olympics, and the 2008 Olympic Trials, our last event together. Our first event was the World Veterans' Championships (now called the World Masters Championships) in 1989, still the largest participatory track and field event ever held at Hayward Field. Just under 5,000 athletes competed over two weeks, and for years after, Masters athletes around the world spoke of Eugene in '89 with fondness.

Rupp, who runs for the Nike Oregon Project, finished fifth. On the women's side, Saucony's Molly Huddle extended her winning streak at these championships to three, comfortably winning the 25-lap race in a solid 31:19.86, the second- fastest by an American this year. MEN'S RACE BECAME CAT AND MOUSE AFFAIR While the women's contest was a traditional battle of endurance won off of a steady and strong pace, the men's race early on became a game of cat and mouse. Feeling no pressure to run a fast time, the men's pack jogged through the first 800 meters in 2:29, only slightly faster than the women (2:32). The group of 24 athletes was tightly bunched, with veteran Ben Bruce of Hoka Northern Arizona Elite at the front. With 19 laps to go, 2015 national road running champion Sam Chelanga became impatient. Coming down the homestretch, he shot to the lead and threw in a 64.7-second lap, followed by another at 65.1.
