Nike bolsters indoor meet World class athletes, Duck stars highlight events By Doug Levy Ot the Emerald The Oregon Indoor track meet is back Actually, the meet never left, but there will be a few changes when things get under way for the 22nd annual running on Jan 30 at Portland's Memorial Coliseum There is a new track, a new sponsor and a fleet of world-class athletes to boost sagging attendance figures The help has come in the form of Nike, the Beaverton shoe manufacturer Nike has taken on sponsorship of the meet, given money to aid in the build ing of a new faster track and furnished members of its own Athletics West club to compete One of those athletes will be 20-year-old Carl Lewis, one of the most versatile track and field athletes since the days of Jesse Owens Lewis, who will compete in the 60-yard dash and the long jump, holds the world indoor long jump record of 28-1 and was the winner of last year's collegiate 100-meter dash (10 13) as he represented the University of Houston It's always good for our guys to be able to run in the Oregon Indoor, says men's track coach Bill Dellinger. “It's a dif ferent experience for them, and an opportunity to have some fun " Adds Oregon women's coach Tom Heinonen, “The Oregon Indoor is an important measuring stick for us We need this — we've been training since Oct 1, and we need to know David Mack where we stand.” Both coaches are pleased to see world class athletes added to the meet's original Northwest format, particularly with proceeds from the meet going to support the track programs at Oregon and Oregon State Certainly, the athletes will look forward to running on the new track, which is sharper and more steeply banked on the turns than the old one to create more speed "The new facility gives the athletes a chance to excel,” acknowledges meet dir ector Al Tarpenning. "The other track was 21 years old; last year Alberto Salazar busted his butt for a good time in the two-mile run and didn’t come away with anything.” Tarpenning is also quick to credit Nike in helping to form the meet's new look "With Nike's help, we can bring in those ath letes who are outstanding on the national and international level Before, we were not able to bring them in because the cost was too high to Oregon State and Oregon Nike is in the state of Oregon, and their club is in Eugene: it's gratifying to have these things available to us."
