Eugene gets on fast track for five years of big meets
Craig Masback, head of USA Track & Field, announced the decision in a news conference at the Bowerman Family Building, adjacent to the University of Oregon’s newly-refurbished Hayward Field.

“We wanted to transform our community and create a lasting legacy,” said Angel Jones, Eugene city manager and a member of the Eugene ’08 Steering Committee.
