HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD
Phil Knight Oregon Track ’57, ’58, ’59 “People often ask me how good of a runner he really was,” said Jim Grelle, the best American collegiate miler from 1957-59, of his Oregon teammate Phil Knight. “And I always tell them, ‘he sure was, he lettered at Oregon three years in a row,’ which, if you know anything about the history of running at Oregon, should be more than sufficient to answer the question.” Grelle, Knight, Bill Dellinger and Jim Bailey composed the core of Oregon’s impressive mile and half-mile runners in the late 1950s, one of the golden eras for the Men of Oregon. Under the tutelage of legendary coach Bill Bowerman, Grelle would win the 1959 NCAA and Pacific Coast Conference championships in the mile, after finishing second in 1957 and ’58. “Phil was always quiet about what he was doing, but he was also such a competitor; he still is,” said Grelle, a three-time All-American in the mile. “He always ran well and got better all three years.” Knight helped Oregon defeat Washington State by winning the mile in their 1958 dual meet. In fact, Knight and his teammates went undefeated in duals, 14-0, during his career at Oregon. In all, Knight recorded 13 top-three finishes in the mile during his Oregon career. The man who would later become the Co-Founder of Nike, was also an important member of the Ducks’ relay teams. He ran the third leg for the squad that captured the 1958 Northern Division distance medley relay championship. As a senior in 1959, he first helped the Ducks capture another Northern Division crown in the two-mile relay, and then ran the lead leg for the distance medley team that won the race at the 1959 Drake Relays in a then meet-record time.
Two Men and a Handshake Following his running career at Oregon, Knight became inspired by the notion that quality athletic shoes might be found in Japan for much less than the expensive German products, which were the only athletic shoes available to American runners at the time. Knight eventually received distribution rights for Japan’s Tiger running shoes. Though it took more than a year for him to receive the first Tiger sample shoes, he immediately sent two pairs to his former track coach, hoping to make a sale and to gain the potentially powerful endorsement of Bowerman. He got much more. Bowerman, a shoe designer himself, wrote back to Knight that they should become partners. Knight would run the business, while Bowerman would provide design ideas. They shook hands on January 25, 1964, and Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS) was born. By 1966, the early version of what would become the iconic Bowerman-designed Cortez running shoe had taken shape. Other shoe models would follow, and BRS’s territory until it was the exclusive national distributor for Tiger’s running shoe business. “I came back and sold shoes for Blue Ribbon Sports in 1965,” said Grelle, who ran 21 sub-4:00 miles during his career. “I was really impressed with Phil’s company and his drive to make it a success. I think how he learned to compete in races was exactly like how he had learned to compete in life.” In 1971, Knight asked Carolyn Davidson, a graphic arts student at Portland State University, to draw up a few potential brand marks. Ultimately, he selected a crescent-shaped mark that today is one of the world’s most recognized brands, the “Swoosh.” Jeff Johnson, the first full-time employee Knight had hired, awoke one morning with an inspiration for the name of the new company—“Nike” goddess of victory in Greek mythology. By February 1972, BRS had prepared an entire line of shoes under the Nike name, including a Nike Cortez, Bruin, Blazer and Boston. At the same time, Bowerman had been working on a new rubber sole pattern inspired by the family waffle iron. At the 1972 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in Eugene, runners got their first glimpse of the new “Waffle” sole. And the rest, as they say….

A handshake between Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight formed the partnership that would transform the world of sports and create a lasting legacy at Oregon.

A Legend Reborn At the heart of Eugene’s successful bids for the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Historic Hayward Field is the nation’s most impressive track and field venue. And there is no place on earth like Track Town, USA. The 2008 Trials were an unmitigated success that could have only happened here; the magical performances, the heart-stopping moments, the records, the drama, the joy, the tears. All of which played out for the nation to watch before the most appreciative home to track and field in the world. The 2008 Trials marked only the beginning of the legendary venue’s rebirth. In the coming years, Hayward Field and Track Town, USA will be the epicenter of the nation’s most prestigious championship meets. In 2010, Track Town, USA will welcome the NCAA Championships for the 10th time since 1962—the most of any venue in modern history. The NCAA meet will also return to Eugene for the 2013 and 2014 events. The USA Track & Field Championships and USA Junior Championships returned to the University of Oregon campus in 2009 and will do so again in 2011. And not to be forgotten, Team USA will be selected once again at the U.S. 2012 Olympic Team Trials. The University of Oregon’s Hayward Field, one of the most famous track and field facilities in the world, is named for Bill Hayward, who coached the University of Oregon’s men’s team from 1904-1947. Hayward Field was initially constructed for football in 1919. Two years later, a six-lane cinder track was installed and track events were transferred from Kincaid Field on the opposite edge of campus. The facility was utilized for both sports until the opening of Autzen Stadium in 1967. The stadium has undergone significant improvements in modern history; in 2008 a new track surface, stadium lights, a remarkable video board and newly configured infield were unveiled. The birth of track and field on the University of Oregon campus dates back to 1895. The student body (then numbering 353) built a quarter-mile dirt track at Kincaid Field, now the site of 13th Avenue and Kincaid Street, to practice for their annual field day, held in conjunction with commencement exercises. In 1900, the Ducks started competing in dual meets against regional Continued on p.154

HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD
As innovative and spectacular as the 2008 Olympic Trials were, they are just the beginning for Hayward Field, which will host the 2010, 2013 and 2014 NCAA Championships, the 2011 USA Track & Field Championships and the 2012 Olympic Trials. Together the meets offer the opportunity to transform the sport of track and field by elevating the experience for athletes, coaches, the media, and spectators. This exciting vision has been made possible through the generous support of individuals committed to celebrating the legendary past and bold future of historic Hayward Field. The University of Oregon is grateful to them for their leadership role in this effort and for fueling the flame of Track Town, USA.

The traditional “Victory Lap” Continued from p. 153 universities and opponents and sported a 13-3 record in their first nine years—including an undefeated stretch from 1906–09. The first upgrade to the Kincaid track came in 1904 when it was covered partially to facilitate inclement-weather practice and competition. By 1912 the sport had started to outgrow the facility, and the university started to explore other possibilities. Although collegiate sports went on hiatus temporarily in 1917 because of the first World War, a full schedule of meets returned in 1919 – the same year Hayward Field was built for football. Two years later, a six-lane cinder track bordering the football playing field was installed for $10,000, including a 220-yard straightway on the east end of the track. Bleachers were transferred from Kincaid Field, and in 1925, the wooden east grandstand was added. In 1928, the students paid to cover the bleachers on the north end that remained until 1950. With the construction of Autzen Stadium for football in 1967, Hayward Field became a trackonly venue. One of the stadium’s most famous former features was its south end bleachers that obscured nearly a quarter of the track. Oregon runners and eventual Olympians Otis Davis and Wade Bell were famed for trailing the field as they disappeared behind the bleachers, only to soon emerge into daylight with a commanding lead. The cinder track lasted until 1970 when the facility received its first all-weather surface. Five years later, the west grandstands were completely rebuilt to their current layout. The University of Oregon continues to update the classic facility as it looks to remain the nation’s preeminent track and field venue. In addition to the multi-million dollar renovation completed in preparation of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Historic Hayward Field has received additional improvements in the past two decades to further its reputation as a highperformance facility. The most eye-catching upgrade is the new video scoreboard, which displays high-definition video for instant replays and post-competition interviews with athletes and coaches. It can also display results and video simultaneously, which has tremendously increased the level of enjoyment experienced by the Hayward Field faithful.

HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD Powell Plaza—unveiled in 2005 to welcome fans into the fabled facility—details the Ducks’ rich track and field heritage and is named after the family of Lloyd Powell, a track teammate of former coach and athlete Bill Dellinger. The facility also welcomed a new four-lane, fully-lit 400-meter all-weather track that encircles six new tennis courts on the southwest edge of the track. A complete face-lift of the indoor practice area under the west grandstands was finished in the spring of 2006, and included a new urethane-coated competition surface, jump runways and pits, and several throwing rings. A pair of state-of-the-art underwater and anti-gravity treadmills were also installed to facilitate Oregon’s national-class athletic treatment facilities. The Bowerman Building was completed in 1992 and dedicated to Bill Bowerman and his family who donated funds necessary to construct the all-purpose building. The building houses an athletic treatment center, locker rooms and meeting rooms. Memorabilia and various exhibits commemorate great athletes, teams and moments of the program’s history. One of the biggest renovations to date came prior to the 1988 NCAA Championships with a two-year project to convert the track from a 440-yard dimension to a 400-meter oval with 85meter straightaways. To accommodate the size changes, the east grandstands were moved back to the east approximately 11 meters (or 35 feet, 9 1/2 inches).
Underwater Treadmill
The Pacific Northwest’s first indoor all-sport training facility, the Ed Moshofsky Center, is also available for all-weather conditioning. Runners, jumpers and throwers can train in the climatecontrolled, spacious environment on both sprint lanes and soft surfaces. Off the track, the Ducks’ nationally-renowned strength and conditioning program offers studentathletes a one-of-a-kind combination of coaches, venues and event-specific training programs. In 2007, a dynamic expansion of the University’s athletic treatment facilities was completed. The updated center offers 12,000 square feet of treatment and rehabilitative space, including state-of-the-art hydrotherapy amenities such as three Hydroworx underwater treadmills and three oversized hot and cold plunge pools. The space also includes comprehensive physician services, including a digital X-ray center and a fully equipped treatment area with top of the line therapeutic equipment and cardio stations to aid in efficient and prompt recovery. Student-athletes can also utilize an amazing new nutrition resource center for consultation and nutritional supplements. The University of Oregon’s Historic Hayward Field. Not only has the legend been reborn, but like the State’s motto, “She Flies with Her Own Wings.”

COACHING LEGENDS
Bill Hayward The father of Oregon track and field and its famous track and field facility, Bill Hayward was appropriately known as the ‘Grand Old Man’ during his 44-year career as a Duck coach. Born in Detroit, Mich., July 2, 1868, and raised in Toronto, Ont., he was known throughout both countries as an all-around star athlete comparable to the likes of Jim Thorpe. A member of the Ottawa Capitals world champion lacrosse team, he also was one of Canada’s fastest sprinters from 75 up to 600 yards. He was equally regarded as a national-class athlete in ice hockey, rowing, wrestling and boxing. The colorful yet cultured sportsman began his coaching career in 1898 as a Princeton assistant coach, then made another assistant stop at California. He next served as the head track and field coach at Pacific University (1901) and Albany College (1903), and his Albany track team even beat the Webfoots. He took the Oregon head track job in 1904, and also served as athletic trainer and basketball coach. He coached four track world record holders, six American record holders and nine Olympians, and assisted on U.S. Olympic teams from 1908-1932. Among his pupils, Dan Kelly broke the world record in the 100 yards (9.6) in 1906; went on to set the 220-yard record (21.1); and took the silver medal in the broad jump in the 1908 Olympic Games.

COACHING LEGENDS
Bill Bowerman Bill Bowerman was a man of many titles—Olympic head coach, Nike founder, army major, Oregon track and field head coach, inventor…the list could go on and on. But the one recurring theme was his restless innovation and unchecked passion for sport. Bowerman (born 2/19/11) began his coaching career as a football coach for one year at Franklin High School in Portland, then moved to Medford and coached track for nine years and football for seven years. But the Duck football and track letterwinner made his biggest mark as a track coach as his ‘Track Men of Oregon’ won 24 NCAA individual titles (with wins in 15 of the 19 events contested) and four NCAA team crowns (1962-64-65-70), and posted 16 top-10 NCAA finishes in his 24 years as head coach. His teams also boasted 33 Olympians, 38 conference champions and 64 All-Americans. At the dual level, the Ducks posted a 114-20 record and went undefeated in 10 seasons. At the Olympic level, he served as head coach of the U.S. team in 1972 and an assistant coach in 1968. Bowerman the inventor was equally renowned for his waffle-iron shoe soles still popular today, as well as his method of recycling old athletic shoes into surfacing for tracks. His love of coaching carried past his own athletes as he helped launch the U.S. running boom. After a 1962 trip to New Zealand he introduced the idea of jogging to the local masses, and even assigned his Duck athletes as mentors and coaches to local citizens. His 1967 book Jogging sold more than a million copies. Bowerman’s legacy as an outspoken leader was also forged off the track. He was a combat major of the 10th Mountain Ski Troops against the Germans in the Italian Alps in World War II (and earned the Bronze Star), then sparred in the ’70s with the Rajneeshees in Eastern Oregon. He even ran for state representative, following the lead of his father Jay who served as interim governor in 1910. In retirement, Bowerman stayed true to his roots. The Fossil, Ore., native resided in his Eugene home in the Coburg Hills, and stayed in the news with occasional advice on how to keep the sport vibrant. When nominated for the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1981, he declined stating that until Bill Hayward was elected, he didn’t deserve to be included. Before passing away on Christmas Eve, 1999, Bowerman returned to Fossil, the eastern Oregon town his great grandfather had founded in 1867, to close the last chapter of a legacy that will never be matched.

COACHING LEGENDS
Bill Dellinger Another Oregon original, Bill Dellinger proved the perfect choice to continue the storied Oregon legacy. The Grants Pass, Ore., native (born 3/23/34) made his name initially as one of Oregon’s greatest distance runners. From 1953-56, he was a twotime NCAA winner, three-time All-American and three-time conference champion. After college, he balanced a stint in the Air Force with postcollegiate training. By the end of his running career, he had added two world indoor records, six American records and three Olympic appearances (including a bronze in the 5,000 in 1964). Dellinger began his coaching career at Thurston High School, joined Lane Community College in 1967, then accepted the Oregon assistant coach position in 1968 and quickly established a reputation as one of America’s finest distance coaches. No U.S. distance runner made a bigger impact than his first star, Steve Prefontaine, but the legacy didn’t stop there. Mentoring such greats as Alberto Salazar, Rudy Chapa, Matt Centrowitz and Bill McChesney, Jr., his distance pupils broke 18 American records, made 17 Olympic appearances and won 12 NCAA individual track titles. In his 32 years as cross country head coach, the Ducks claimed four NCAA team titles, five runner-up honors and four third-place finishes, to go along with four individual titles and another runner-up finish. As a team, the Ducks continued their reputation as one of the nation’s deepest and most balanced units. At home at Hayward Field in 1984, the Ducks added their fifth NCAA track title and tallied 113 points — the highest NCAA total ever. At the conference level, his squads claimed four team titles and nine runner-up finishes. Individually, 23 Oregon runners combined for 41 cross country All-America honors, and 58 track athletes accounted for 105 track and field honors. Dellinger still lives in Eugene and has coached Olympic post-collegians Danny Lopez, Nick Rogers and Mary Slaney.

COACHING LEGENDS
Tom Heinonen A pioneer for three decades for the University of Oregon and NorPac and Pac-10 Conferences, former head coach Tom Heinonen helped guide the Duck women’s track and field team from its infancy into a full-fledged collegiate power in his 27 years as head coach. He retired after the 2003 season and was honored in his career as a threetime NCAA Coach of the Year, and eight-time Pac-10 Conference Coach of the Year. As a team, UO scored top-10 NCAA track and field finishes in seven of the meet’s first eight years, and won the NCAA title in 1985. At the conference level, Oregon won all four of the NorPac track and field team crowns from 1982-85, then finished top-two eight times in the first 10 years of the Pac-10’s existence, including league victories in 1991 and ’92. During his tenure, Duck individuals stockpiled 15 NCAA/AIAW titles, 108 AllAmerica honors and 55 Pac-10/NorPac Conference titles in track and field. His mark on the collegiate cross country scene is even more impressive. Only one other team bettered Oregon’s 24 national trips in his 28 years at the helm, and Duck individuals qualified three of the other four years. Over that span, Heinonen guided teams to NCAA wins in 1983 and 1987, to go along with three more second-place efforts among their amazing total of 18, top-10 national finishes. Duck individuals were equally decorated at the post-collegiate level, claiming three American records, 17 Olympic appearances, 10 World Championships invites, 12 U.S. national track and field titles, 22 World Championships cross country invites, and five U.S. cross country crowns. As an athlete, Heinonen enjoyed an equally successful career as a six-time All-America distance runner at the University of Minnesota. During his postcollegiate career, he was a three-time World Cross Country Championships competitor, a two-time Olympic Trials Marathon veteran, and the 1969 AAU marathon champion.

IN MEMORIAM
Steve Prefontaine Steve Prefontaine was born in Coos Bay, Oregon on January 25, 1951. Although he was tragically involved in a fatal car accident in Eugene on May 30, 1975, his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of countless track and field fans around the world. Pre began his running career at Marshfield High School in Coos Bay, where he was coached by Walter McClure, a former Oregon track star. He went undefeated in cross country and track as a junior and senior. As a senior, he broke the American record for two miles in the Corvallis Invitational with a time of 8:41.5. Bill Dellinger, then an Oregon assistant track and cross coach, first saw Pre run as a junior at the state cross country meet in November 1967 at the urging of McClure. Prefontaine signed with the University of Oregon on Tuesday, April 29, 1969. Between the time he entered the University of Oregon in the fall of 1969 and when he graduated in the summer of 1973, Pre won seven NCAA titles—three in cross country (1970, 1971, 1973) and four in the three-mile in track (1970, 1971, 1972, and 1973)—becoming the first collegian to accomplish the feat in track and the second in cross country. He won Pac-8 Conference championships in the 3-mile in 1970, 1971, 1972, and 1973, in addition to the mile title in 1971. In his first outdoor track race, he won the 2-mile in a triangular against Fresno State and Stanford in Fresno, Calif., on March 21, 1970. Later that first season, he clocked a 3:57.4 mile at the Oregon Twilight, finishing second and setting an Oregon freshman record. Pre’s victories became legendary. His first NCAA 3-mile track title in 1970 came with a dozen stitches in his foot after being involved in a diving board accident just days before. His final cross country victory came after making up a 100-yard deficit on Western Kentucky’s English distance star Nick Rose. At the close of his collegiate career he had set eight collegiate track records. Altogether, Pre raced at Hayward Field in Eugene in 38 races between 1970-75, losing only three times and all at one mile. He owned every (8) American record between 2,000 and 10,000 meters and between two miles and six miles. He also held eight collegiate records while at Oregon, with his three-mile (12:53.4) and six-mile (27:09.4) performances still standing. During his career, he broke his own or other American records 14 different times, broke the four-minute barrier nine times, ran 25 two-mile races under 8:40, and 10 5,000 meter races faster than 13:30. He competed in the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, when he was 21 years old and two years younger than anyone else in the 5,000 meters field. Taking the lead with a mile to go, and holding it until less than 600 meters remaining, he ultimately finished fourth (13:28.25) behind Lasse Viren of Finland (first, 13:26.42), Mohamed Gammoudi of Tunisia (second, 13:27.33), and Ian Stewart of Great Britain (third, 13:27.61). Stewart passed Prefontaine less than 10 meters from the finish line for the last medal. Today, Pre’s impact can be found in the Steve Prefontaine Memorial Jogging Trail, 6.3 kilometers of wood chip path that winds through Alton Baker Park in Eugene. His life has been the subject of several recent books, movies and videos. A memorial was dedicated in 1997 at the corner of Birch Lane and Skyline Drive in Eugene—the site of his fatal car accident.

IN MEMORIAM
Bill McChesney, Jr. Bill McChesney, Jr. was born on January 8, 1959. One of Oregon’s most accomplished distance runners of all-time, he was killed tragically in a car accident in Newport, Oregon on October 29, 1992. His competitiveness and warm personality endeared him to legions of supporters. The comparisons to Pre were there from the start, but when somebody runs as fast as Bill McChesney, Jr. did so early, they were certainly reasonable. Here was another native Oregonian, calloused and strengthened by his native hills and trails, with an equally indomitable spirit. Memories of McChesney often conjure up the same adjectives—generous, religious, intense, funny, passionate, talented, highly competitive, tough. McChesney competed for South Eugene High School. At Hayward Field, he ran his six-mile (28:09.4) and 10,000 meters (29:06.8) national junior records during his junior year (3/20/76). He was a six-time state champion in track and cross country, becoming the first individual to win three straight harrier titles. The vocal leader helped the Axemen to four state harrier team titles and three state team track crowns. In addition, he was a three-time high school All-American in cross country, four-event All-American his junior year, and three-time state two-mile champion. McChesney was a member of national record quartets in the four-mile relay (17:06.6) and distance medley relay (10:01.6). He broke Steve Prefontaine’s state meet record in the 3,200 meters by 12 seconds with his 8:50 clocking. Even today, he ranks third behind Pre (8:07.4) on the all-time state 3,000 meter list (8:16.2). McChesney remains Oregon’s current record holder in the 5,000 meters (13:14.80) and held the record at 10,000 meters (27:50.82) until Galen Rupp established a new American collegiate record of 27:33.48 in 2007. McChesney made the Olympic team in the 5,000 meters after his junior season, claimed two All-America track honors in the 5,000 meters and two honors in cross country. His Oregon 5,000 meter best also stands as the American collegiate record with only Washington State’s Henry Rono running faster at the collegiate level (13:08.4). In cross country, he raced in four NCAA Championships and helped the team to its fourth NCAA title in 1977 and runner-up finishes in 1978 and 1979. It was McChesney’s storied junior season, however, that stands out. After missing March and April of 1980 with a heel injury, he competed in his first race of the year in the Pac-10 5,000 meters, where he finished third. He then repeated the same place in the NCAA 5,000 meters, finishing as the top American. The Olympic Trials followed and McChesney tapped the hearts of the Eugene crowd with a gutsy surge with a mile remaining in the 5,000 meters. As the crowd roared, he pushed out to a 70-yard lead—a gamble that eventually paid off with a third-place finish (13:34.4) and an Olympic Team spot. Later that summer in Europe, he became America’s second-fastest ever in the 5,000 meters (13:18.6) and sixth all-time in the 10,000 meters (27:58.50). He returned home in July to join the Duck sub-4:00 club at an Oregon Track Club all-comers meet, finishing second in 3:59.1. A year later he lowered his mile best to 3:56.35 in the Oregon Twilight. McChesney ranked top-five nationally in the 5,000 meters three years and fourth in the world in 1981 (13:15.77). In the 10,000 meters, he ranked top-10 in the U.S. four years and ninth in the world in 1981 (27:47.50). He ran his 5K career best of 13:14.80 in 1982, while his 10,000 meters best of 27:47.25 came in 1981. He finished 15th in the 10,000 meters in the 1983 World Championships.
