Good call on that. LSU's sprint squad+ rest of Oregon's team= dynasty.Duck07 wrote:you left out what Ashton Eaton has done with the decathlon the last 2 years.goducks75 wrote:Not really. Outside of Jordan Kent we really haven't had too much as far as jaw-dropping sprinters recently. We have killed in the long distance and mid distance runs and have some good throwers but sprints is definitely the weak link when compared to the other areas.Duck07 wrote:that sounds funny, the track team having a weak areaBiggus Duckus wrote:Not a bad thing, that's for sure. Easier to stay in shape, low injury risk, and it helps the track team in one of their weakest events!
If we had LSU or Texas AM's sprint squad, I don't know if Oregon Track could be touched

Re: James to run track
What did Oregon lose the NCAA's by... 6 points?
The lack of a decent, not great, relay team .

Re: James to run track
Actually I believe that one of our normal distance runners had a last minute ankle or foot injury (McNamara?) and couldn't compete and he was expected to score points. I believe had he not been injured, we would have won title regardless of sprinters.

Re: James to run track
Actually I think it was Centrowitz who couldn't compete due to a foot injury and he was favored to win the event. They only had McNamera left to score points but couldn't place high enough to score enough points to pull out the win for the team.Destroyer77 wrote:Actually I believe that one of our normal distance runners had a last minute ankle or foot injury (McNamara?) and couldn't compete and he was expected to score points.
