“At 5K, it was every man for himself.” GALEN RUPP olympic qualifier

jeff matarrese photo editor Former University of Oregon Duck and Oregon native Galen Rupp crosses the finish line first in the 10,000 meter race at Hayward Field with a time o 26:48.00, qualifying him for the U.S. Olympic team bound for London. His time, which set a new U.S. Olympic Trial record, was the fastest run by an American this year.

SETTING a record PACE Former Oregon Duck Galen Rupp finishes the 10,000 meters well ahead of the pack; women’s race thrilling to the end david lieberman sports editor

After claiming victory and a spot in London from the hollowed grounds of Hayward Field, former Oregon standout Galen Rupp said he couldn’t ask for more. And an Olympic-Trials record in the 10,000 meters? Sure, he’ll take that, too. Friday afternoon, Rupp bided his time early before bursting away from the pack and cruising across the finish line in 27:25.33, well ahead of the field. He already owned the American record in the event, but he added another chapter to University of Oregon’s long-distance lore by becoming one of three in-state residents to sweep the podium. “I always feel really lucky to be able to run here, basically on my home track,” Rupp said. “Especially for such a big event like the Olympic Trials. I don’t think this could have gone much better for me.” Matt Tegenkamp (second, 27:33.94) and Dathan Ritzenhein (third, 27:36.09) will join Rupp on Team USA. Tegenkamp — who competed in the 5k in Beijing in 2008 — was a likely candidate for the Olympic team having already achieved the Olympic-A standard in the 10,000 earlier this year. Conversely, Ritzenhein was a relative long shot who used an inspired effort to

earn his right to represent the star and stripes. Both runners train in Portland as part of Nike’s expansive track and field program. As if running 25 laps weren’t trying enough, the field was tasked with circling the oval in rain that was brutal and unrelenting — even by Pacific Northwestern standards. “When I stepped out and saw it pouring rain, I wasn’t the most excited person in the world,” Ritzenhein said. “But the fortunate thing is we’ve been in Oregon for about three and a half years now and know that can happen.” The race got off to a slow start, with current Duck and 10-time All-American Luke Puskedra leading the first five laps. He was eventually overtaken by Rupp, Ritzheim and Joseph Chirlee. That trio led until the last third of the race, when Chirlee began to fade and Tegenkamp surged into the lead group. That pack remained tight until Rupp shifted into another gear with three laps remaining. He quickened his pace, eventually gaining a 20-meter lead on the field. Rupp topped off the race in comfortable fashion, waving and smiling as he slid by Bowerman’s Curve and took his first step toward Olympic glory. Though he set a meet record on Friday, he was well short of his personal best (26:48.00). “At 5K, it was every man for himself,” Rupp said. “That was kind of our plan going in, and it worked great. I’m real happy that (Ritzenhein) is able to make it. I’m going to have my teammate

and training partner and friend with me in London training for the 10K.”

Women’s 10,000 meters While the men’s 10,000 offered little excitement down the backstretch, the women’s race was a wireto-wire thriller that had Hayward’s west grandstand on its feet nearly from the gun. The podium would eventually be claimed by Amy Hastings, Natosha Rogers and Shalane Flanagan — though only one of those three will compete in the Olympic games. Luckily for the women, the incessant rain that plagued the men’s race subsided minutes before their race was slated to begin. Wendy Thomas@@ Of where?@@ quickly seized the lead before being overtaken by Deborah Maier, a collegiate senior who last competed at the NCAA level for California. Maier would extend her advantage for much of the race, opening up a 15-meter lead on the field five laps in. Maier maintained her breakneck pace until the midway point, when the pack slowly but surely began to rein her in. She lost the lead when Hastings — who came into the Trials with the second-fastest qualifying time in the field — burst in front with around two and half miles remaining. With the race still wide open and six laps to go, Hastings, Flanagan, Alisha Williams, Natosha Rogers and Lisa Uhl — a group that collectively owned four of the five fastest qualifying times coming into race — started to distinguish

themselves from the field. Though Flanagan came in owning the American record in the event (30:22.22), her participation was simply for the sake of training, as she announced she will be competing in London exclusively in the marathon, an event she won in dominant fashion during its Trials this past January. With less 200 meters to go, Flanagan made an aggressive move, pulling ahead of Hastings to ignite the crowd. Her advantage was shortlived, as Hastings accelerated to an all-out sprint in the last 100 meters, taking the lead for good. She crossed the finish line in 31:58.36, followed by Rogers (31:59.21), Flanagan (31:59.69) and Uhl (32:03.46). Rodgers claimed second place, but she will not be part of Team USA due to her slow qualifying time. Instead, Janet Cherobon-Bawcom, who finished in seventh but previously achieved an Olympic-A Standard, will head to London. Like many of the fans in attendance, Uhl ultimately found the results of the race awkward. “It was an ugly way to make the Olympic team,” Uhl said. “But I’m excited to go to London.” Cherobon-Bawcom agreed but added that she’s happy to get to the Olympic Games in any way possible. “It’s a terrible way to get on the team,” she said, “but that’s the way I got in, and I’m excited.” dlieberman @ dailyemerald . com

Want a chill place to enjoy a local brew? More into dancing and cheap drinks? Eugene’s downtown bar scene can fit your needs rebecca sedlak special sections editor

From dance club settings to sit-down dinner bars, downtown Eugene’s night scene has it all. With more than 12 bars to choose from, the downtown area is a great place to grab a drink or meal with a variety of indoor and outdoor settings. Whether you’re looking for an exciting, upbeat evening, or a low-key relaxing night out, downtown Eugene is the place to be.

Starlight Lounge Located on 830 Olive Street Starlight Lounge is a great place to have a relaxing drink any time in the evening. There are plenty of comfortable places to sit and several rooms with couches, tables and chairs and — of course — the bar. Though a nice spot for the young and old alike, the interior is somewhat dim, so patrons with poor eyesight might find another bar more to their taste. Starlight Lounge also has drink specials that vary with the day of the week and the time of night. $2 white Russians and Hinman wines are available 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., $2 Patron shots are available 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and local microbrews are $2 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Jameson’s Bar

Jameson’s Bar is yet another great bar for either a low-key drink, or an eventful night out. Jameson’s has tasty drinks, live music (mostly during the weekends) and pool tables as well as a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a lot of standing room, so people don’t ever feel crowded. The colorful hanging lights make for a great atmosphere. The bar is located in the heart of downtown Eugene on the corner of Broadway and Olive Street (across from John Henry’s, Horse Head and Cowfish.) It’s a great bar to start your evening out; it has something for everyone to enjoy.

John Henry’s John Henry’s is not your everyday bar. It’s proud to offer variety, spunk, character and tons of fun. This bar, located just a few yards from Jameson’s, is the host of “80’s Night” on Thursdays, where drinks are $2. Ladies get in free before 11 p.m., and the floor is full of people dancing to hopping ‘80s hits. There are large booths situated along a staircase by the bar, as well as a smaller group of tables in the back. John Henry’s is probably not the place for a relaxed night and glass of wine, but it’s always a lot of fun, and it has great drink specials almost every night.

Rogue Ales’ Eugene City Brewery

Not only is Rogue Ales’ well-known for its delicious beers, but this brewery also has a wide selection of food as well. Located in downtown Eugene at 844 Olive Street, the bar is family friendly with kids menus, Legos and other games.Rogue Ales’ has full service multi-tap bars, with not just Rogue creations, but other great porters, ales, stouts, lagers, spirits and wines. Rogue Ales’ has beer available to go in 12oz, 22oz, 750ml, and 64oz growler bottles. The brewery is also non-smoking. Rogue provides outside seating, pizza and 35 beers on tap including Rogue Ales, Track Town Honey Orange Wheat, 100 Meter, 200 Meter, and Triple Jump. Rogue’s Hours of Operation: Monday: 12 p.m. — 10 p.m. Tuesday - Thursday: 12 p.m. — 11 p.m. Friday & Saturday: 12 p.m. — 12 a.m. Sunday: 12 p.m. — 9 p.m. Brewery Tour Hours: Weekdays: 4:30 p.m. Whether you’re looking for a fast-paced place like John Henry’s, some good food and quality brews at Rogue, or a low-key drink at Starlight Lounge – downtown Eugene has something to satisfy everyone’s needs. specialsections @ dailyemerald . com

SCENE MOVIES

Local theaters for post-Trials entertainment The tail end of June means one very important thing — it’s summer movie season! For those taking in the Olympic Trials who want a fun place to go in the evenings or just want to get away from the track for a bit, Eugene offers several movie theaters to take in the next summer blockbuster. The nicest movie theater in town is Regal Cinema at the Valley River Center. Located in the main

shopping center in Eugene, this option is a great place to couple that movie with a great meal and some shopping in the mall. Another option that is available for moviegoers is the Gateway Mall in Springfield. While it is not technically in Eugene, the Gateway Mall is just about two minutes north on the I-5. Gateway offers two great theaters depending on what you are looking for. The first is Cinemark 17,

a typical movie theater that shows new releases. However, just on the other side of the mall is Cinemark 12, which shows delayed releases for extremely low prices. The movies are usually a few months old but still current enough that you can’t find them on Netflix, On Demand or normal DVD. These movies generally only charge a dollar or two per person. If you’re in the mood for something with a more

Nude Hours

Eugene stamp, check out the Bijou Arts Cinema on 13th Avenue and Ferry Street. Housed in an old church, the Bijou offers movies that aren’t widely released, like independent films, foreign films and documentaries. No matter which theater you choose, Eugene has something for everybody. Enjoy the show!

TRIALS 2012 OLYMPIC TRIALS

Ashton Eaton crushes one world record after another Oregon Track Club Elite Ashton Eaton finishes first in his heat of the decathlon 100 meters by setting a new world record in the decathlon with a 10.21 second finish in the rain at Hayward Field on Friday, June 22, 2012.

The decathlon wraps up on Saturday, with top spots London-bound isaac rosenthal sports reporter

You could say he was dominant. Ashton Eaton kicked off his campaign for Olympic gold in the decathlon on Friday by posting a lifetime best, firstday score of 4,728 points — 17

ahead of the American-record pace. He won four of five dayone events, beginning with back-to-back world decathlon records in the first two events: the 100-meter dash and long jump. “What you’re seeing is basically just a culmination of everyone that supported me and got me to this point,” Eaton said. “And me fiercely trying to not let them down.” Running alongside defending Olympic gold medalist Bryan

Clay, Eaton exploded off the line in the 100 meters, finishing in a decathlon world-best 10.21 to set the tone for the rest of his afternoon. He kept his momentum going in the long jump, soaring to another personal best with an 8.23-meter jump on his first attempt. That effort set a decathlon world record and scored 1,120 points to bring his two-event total to 2,164 — the highest score ever through two events.

Though throwing events aren’t normally considered a strong suit for him, he held his own in the shot put with a mark of 14.20. He improved on each of his next three throws and finished fifth, remaining in first place overall going into the high jump. It was more of the same for him in the high jump, as he cleared the bar easily at 1.90 meters to open competition before passing 1.93, as well as the next four heights — each time

on his first attempt. Eaton beat out Edward Broadbent and Ryan Harlan to be the only jumper to clear the bar at 2.05 meters but was unable to earn a personal best after failing to clear 2.08 meters. He concluded his dominant first day by posting the fastest time of the three decathlon heats in the 400 meters by over a second. He finished in 46.70 in rain that was so strong it caused the starter’s gun to malfunction, forcing a second start to the race.

After taking home victories in four of five day-one events, Eaton holds a 322-point lead over Hardee. The decathlon continues early Saturday morning with the 110-meter hurdles at 9:30 a.m. The competition then shifts back to field events with the discus, pole vault and javelin throws highlighting the day. Saturday’s decathlon events conclude with the 1,500 meters at 5:30 p.m. irosenthal@dailyemerald.com

Nike hosts interactive track exhibit for passionate fans Nike Speed Tunnel uses Nike Plus, past races for fun fan experience NIcole GINley-hidinger freelance reporter

Blurs of neon light in the shape of runners fly by, racing towards the far end of the dark Nike Speed Tunnel. These aren’t just any shapes — they’re the outlines of Nick Symmonds, Andrew Wheating and Christian Smith as they battle out the last few strides of the 800 meters at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.

This speed tunnel is just one of many attractions offered by Nike’s Camp Victory, an interactive exhibit that harkens to its storied Olympic past while also looking toward the future. “(It) is an experience people can walk through and truly get a sense of how fast these athletes actually are,” Nikeya Green, a Camp Victory employee, said. “It’s in real time, it’s real data and it takes the form of a digital avatar. You can see them running across these different screens.” The speed tunnel will be updated daily to showcase new races. It allows the viewer to watch races from

previous days from a new, up-close perspective. The Nike Plus tent encourages everyone to compete. A record board, showing pictures of the people who ran the farthest and fastest in a 30-second treadmill challenge, lights up the west wall. “You come to Eugene to be number one,” Brandon O’Malley said after his name moved to number one on the leader board. “This is my one goal for the weekend. I’m going to be checking this every day to make sure I still have it.” A map of Eugene shows where Nike Plus members have

run in the last day, week and month. The touch screen can identify individual runners and show which trails members ran the most. Recently, the most common loop was Pre’s Trail. “Nike Plus is a way to track, measure and compare your runs,” Jenny Campbell said. “[The devices] track your runs, they give you your mileage and your pace and then there is a whole motivation and community aspect to it.” Nike Plus wants people to share their runs with anybody, from other Nike Plus users to Facebook friends. Camp Victory also includes a Nike store stocked with

“You come to Eugene to be number one. This is my one goal for the weekend. I’m going to be checking this every day to make sure I still have it.” BRANDON O’MALLEY NIKE SPEED TUNNEL GUEST Olympic Trials gear, USA Olympic team memorabilia and Eugene-themed shirts. The shoe lab next door allows visitors to try on two of Nike’s never-before-seen shoes, the LunarGlide 4 and the Flyknit trainer. Many people were in awe of the technology Nike was using,

including Eugene citizen Ron Green and his wife Nancy. “The Nike booths are phenomenal with their electronics and their graphics and everything,” Green said. “That’s been the most impressive thing so far.” news @ dailyemerald . com

Four events you must see in the second day of the Trials Want to follow the local athletes? Here are the races you can’t miss becky metrick news editor

It’s the only the second day of trials, but some of the biggest names in track and field are preparing for the preliminary rounds of their best races. After Friday’s preliminaries, some fell in rankings after troublesome rain resulted in lackluster times and the postponing of the women’s pole vault. However, many persevered and wowed the Hayward crowds, securing their spot in Saturday’s events. Others are hoping for

better weather as they take to the track for the first time. Here are some of the biggest events of Day 2:

3:40 p.m., Women’s 100 meters (semi-final)

Oregon star English Gardner qualified Friday when she took 3rd in her heat, with a time of 11.27 seconds which put her in ninth overall. Gardner has been prominent on the track and field scene since she was the Pac-10 newcomer of the year in her freshman season. She’ll be racing against seasoned runners Allyson

Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh. Felix took first in her heat and is fourth overall with a time of 11.19. Tarmoh is currently in second overall after finishing second in her heat with a time of 11.16.

4:00 p.m., Men’s 100 meters (prelim)

One of the most familiar names in track and field, Tyson Gay, will be running in this preliminary race. Gay is currently considered the second-fastest man on earth, his 9.56 finish is tied for second of all-time, along with Jamaican Olympian Usain

Bolt. He also handed Bolt his first 100-meters loss in two years in 2010.

4:45 p.m., Men’s 800 meters (semi-final)

As the top 16 runners from the prelims take to the track, Oregon finds another chance at joining the Olympic team in rising senior Elijah Greer. Finishing 2nd in his heat and tenth overall with a time of 1:47.42, Greer will be competing against track powerhouses Nick Symmonds and Tyler Mulder. Symmonds won his heat with a time

of 1:46.94 putting him in third place overall. Mulder won his heat with a time of 1:46.81, putting him in first place overall. Both represent Nike/Oregon Track Club Elite.

5:52 p.m., Women’s 100 meters (FINAL) Once the earlier semi-final finishes, one last race will decide who the fastest women in the country are and our new 100 meter Olympic representatives will be announced. bmetrick @ dailyemerald . com
