Portland Indoor — World
Class Track in Our Backyard
by Fred Hembry
On January 23rd, 1988, the doors
of the Portland Memorial Coliseum
will open for amateur track and field
competitors, both youth and adult,
to display their talents.
For those who are not aware,
some of these aspiring participants
will be of the National-World Class
stature. Among them will be Robin
Marks (Olympic hopeful, 1988) of
Portland, Al Joyner (U.S. Gold
Medalist, Triple Jump), and Steve
Scott (U.S. Record Holder in the
1500), to name a few.
The Portland Indoor has been
part of the "Grand Prix" Indoor
Track & Field circuit since 1987.
This means national-class athletes
must run in Portland, Los Angeles,
or other designated meets to qualify
for the National Championship meet
at Madison Square Garden later this
winter.
In turn, you, the spectator, will be
guaranteed viewing of national
track figures, as well as college and
high school standouts.
There will be two meets that day.
The develomental meet begins at
9:00 a.m. and runs until 5:00 p.m.
The night meet begins at 7:30 p.m.
It is in this meet that you will see the
national-class athletes and the high
school standouts.
I contacted three area coaches to
get their thoughts on the meet and
their athletes. They do have partici­
pants in all events, but space per­
mitted me to list only their hardest
working athletes.
Mark Cotton from Grant High
School has entered Bill Sheppard in
the 55 Meters Dash for mend, and
K.K. (miriam) Waller in the w o­
men's 55 Meter Dash. "I look on
the Indoor as a circus of sorts that
allows us to display our talent. I
also feel that we should do well,"
he told me.
Alex Wright from Lincoln High
School has entered James Rankin in
the men's 800 Meters and Liz
Fawkes in the women's 800. Coach
Wright said, "I also have Mary Mac­
Donald (W 800-1500), and the Dunn
twins (M 1500). My people are in­
credibly fit, and we should do well in
both meets, should they qualify."
"This meet affords the P.I.L. and
athletes around Oregon to show­
case their talent. The meet is very
well-run and the national standing
allows record-breaking times (Na-
tional/World) to be official," com­
mented Leon Lincoln from Madison
High School. He is entering Bobby
Frazier in the men's 55 Meter Dash.
Debora Booth will be entered in the
women's 55 Meter dash.
In light of this, anyone who
breaks their normal sports-watching
routine to view this event is sure to
enjoy a full day of exciting track
and field competition, covering the
entire range of age and develop­
ment. Come out and support your
local athletes!
