“It provides a neat opportunity
for people who like to do it to go
out and compete,” Stream said.
Stream is in the middle of his
fourth year as meet director. The
meet itself is in its 48th year.
People attend the meet for
many reasons, Stream said. Some
come to prepare for bigger meets
and some come for the exercise
in the outdoors.
Lloyd Tolbert is a meet volun
teer whose daughter occasional
ly participates. Originally, he
volunteered because he is a
friend of Streams, but he quickly
grew to love what he was doing.
“It’s really fun,” Tolbert said.
“I’m a kids fan.”
Parents enjoy the meet, as
well.

Judith Dinan proclaimed of her
10-year-old son Joseph Lincoln

What does Sammi, the 100
meter, 200-meter and long jump
competitor like about the All
Comers Meet?
“The whole entire thing,” she
said. “It’s relaxing. You get to
watch other people.”
John Brauer, father of 3-year
old Ali, came back for a second
year in the All-Comers Meet.
“She’s just having fun out
there,” he said, “but that’s what
this age is for.”
On a sunny Eugene evening,
hundreds of parents cheered on
hundreds of children.
Laughter filled Hayward Field
and Tracktown, U.S.A., intro
duced itself to a new generation.
