...plus 2009 & 2011 US nationals!
Just kill me now.
Where'd you get your info from?
it's legit they had a meeting this afternoon in Eugene.
Eugene was just awarded the 2012 Olympic Trials and the 2009 and 2011 USATF Outdoor championships!
Video is up and more on the way.

Long live the track monopoly!
Wow, they will regret this after the 2008 Trials aren't as hip as they had hoped.
I'll tip my glass to the 2016 Trials in Carson or Sacramento!
Because Eugene is such a cosmopolitan hub.
Where are the 2010 championships going to be held?
They should have 2010 in the east, midwest, or south, SO they don't feel lonely and left out. They can't even play football in those states and have to have the BCS to handicap their teams with the bizarre SOS. I feel sad for the East Midwest and South and USATF should throw them a few extra pairs of flats for old times sake.
Here is the other version...

NCAA's are in Eugene in 2010
Great for Eugene, sucks for the rest of the country.
The following appeared in unofficial notes from the November 13th Pacific Association Board of Athletics meeting. (Note that this is not from formal minutes.)
"Sacramento’s bids for the 2009, 2010, and 2011 USATF outdoor track and field championships have not met with favor, though they were the only ones submitted. USATF is holding the bidding process open for another six months; the phrase 'sham process' was used."
Just exactly RIGHT where they belong...American track and field at its finest...be there!
MF
Exactly where they belong, in the upper corner of the country in a place with inadequete facilities. Whoo!

No one at those meets, athletes or spectators will be whining. But somehow I guess you will be.
If you liked it in Sacramento so much fly there. It's about an 8 hour drive from there to Eugene. It'll start out very ugly, when it's starts to get pretty you'll know your getting closer.

You're right, it probably would be cheaper to fly to Sacramento, rent a car, and drive 8 hours to Eugene than flying into Eugene po-dunk airport.
As for the drive, as soon as it starts raining you'll know that you're getting close. Once you max out your credit card at the Super 8 you'll know you're having fun.
No worries, hit up one of the many local meth labs and you'll forget your troubles. Just don't get caught with any on the Oregon JC campus!
California > Oregon in so many ways. But I guess Phil Knight wants to keep track a fringe sport. Money talks!
