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."
