Oregon sweeps the 2012 Pac-12 Championships

There may not have been a better two days in TrackTown USA than what we just had for the 2012 Pac-12 Championships this past weekend, especially in mid May. During a month that could have just as easily brought 50s and rain, this weekend instead saw lots of sun, 80-degree temperatures, and a nice tailwind for the sprints and jumps.
‘Preparing for the Best’ with Leonel Manzano

The marquee event at many track meets has traditionally been the infamous men’s mile. Within this domain, Leonel Manzano has become a household name. Known for his tenacity and fight despite his small stature, he exploded onto the national scene as a freshman for the University of Texas by winning the 1500 NCAA Outdoor title in 2005.

Big week on tap for TrackTown

‘Preparing for the Best’ with Ryan Whiting

In an event that the USA has dominated for several years now, one would think it would be difficult for a young newcomer to crack into the rankings. Ryan Whiting proved it could be done. Against the likes of fellow Americans Adam Nelson, Reese Hoffa, and Christian Cantwell, Whiting has risen the bar amidst a world-class field.
