Pat Tyson leaves Mead for U. of Oregon
Highly successful high school coach Pat Tyson will move to the University of Oregon to take over the distance program. Tyson is taking a leave of absence from Mead High School, Spokane WA, where he coached 12 state champion cross country teams in the past 19 years. Mead finished third in December in the first Nike Team Nationals cross country team championship. Tyson ran for Oregon and was Steve Prefontaine's roommate when he died. "Pre made me," Tyson told The Oregonian newspaper. "I was his little sidekick." The Eugene Register-Guard said leaving the security of teaching and coaching at Mead for the challenges at U.O. is " the kind of gamble that Pre would have taken himself.."
Galen Rupp to Oregon too? - After the Tyson announcement, the Eugene Register-Guard said that the Track & Field News 2004 high school Athlete of the Year, who set a national record for 5000 meters, would enroll in classes at Oregon Monday (4/4) and will run for Oregon this spring if NCAA eligibility papers can be cleared in time. Rupp did not sign any national letter of intent after graduating from Central Catholic Portland last spring and continued to train with former Oregon start Alberto Salazar, who was his high school coach and also runs the Nike Oregon Project of elite distance runners.

Maine legislature takes up ban on cross country teams competing in New England Championships. A public hearing was held Thursday (3/31) on LD 1130 , "An act to allow a state champion cross-country team to participate in New England competitions". [MORE]

True Confessions of a TV Rookie
David Mitchell of Pinckney MI was a coach at the first Nike Indoor Nationals in 1999 when he received a "battlefield commission" as an announcer. He is an experienced announcer now, but he never did TV before this year's NIN in Maryland. Read about his experience.

New York Armory 1978
The current generation of runners at the New York Armory can hardly appreciate the miracle that has been wrought in transforming the old building to a state of the art facility that lays claim to be the fastest indoor track in the world. This is a photo of Michael Potter in 1978 when he was a sophomore at White Plains NY high school running his first race at the Armory. "Man that was one rough track. You did not want to fall on that floor.  Splinters galore," Potter says. "This was the first time I wore my brand new pair of the original Oregon Waffles by the new company called Nike." Potter, who is now a Wall Street broker, later won the Loucks Games mile. The photo was taken by his coach Fred Singleton, now the director of the Loucks Games at White Plains High School every May.
