Will Bill McChesney's Oregon 5,000 record make it through the season?

Yes. Time trial season is over.

Oregon greats Galen Rupp and Jim Hill at #9 and #10 on the all-time 5000 list look to get bumped off in the next few years (the list I mean)

Depends on who runs Payton

When do Jenkins, Gregorek and Geoghegan officially become former Ducks?

Why is Centrowitz listed twice on the 1500 list?

The one from 1976 would be his father's.

It will stay, with Lalang gone no one's good enough to push Ches to 13:13. He won't time trial it this season either unless he's running the 5k at Payton Jordan or something.

Sr. and Jr...

The most impressive may be the 400 spot by Otis Davis.

After all these years, he's still at #2.

The was on a cinder track as well.

Uhhhh no. The most impressive is unquestionably:

1. Joaquim Cruz 1:41.77 1984

Unquestionably?

I will question that.

Davis ran a world record that stood for 7 years.

Yeah, that 800m is 4-seconds faster than #2!!! Epic record.

Given that Oregon counts Cruz's 1:41.77 as its school record, it's reasonable to conclude that marks set during the summer will be counted (and for Cheserek as well).

Illustrates the principle that records are subject to definition by the record-keeper. Track and Field News would not recognize Cruz's time (or other summer performances, either by recent grads or undergrads) as "collegiate" records, but Oregon can recognize its school records however it chooses.

That is because TFnews is just a magazine, not an official record-keeping organization in any way.

Only the NCAA should be (or NAIA in its case) responsible for D1 record-keeping, and individual schools (hopefully using the NCAA rules as a template or it is ridiculous) for their own.

This makes the "summer" meets superfluous when these really aren't College meets anyway, so should come under the category of Open or age-group records. This should also be the case for HS records - Webb's record should be an age-group one, not a HS record as he didn't run it in a HS race, as I am sure most HS Federation records would indicate. This is why record-keeping is such a mess - trying to be all things to all people, and it doesn't work. Look at all the people who even complain that someone born in January or December (same calendar year) shouldn't be credited the same, or people who are even a few months older than others in HS, where age and grade are conflated.

Mary C. or Alexa E. should have their performances recognized as they were/are in HS (being a pro is irrelevant as to whether you are in HS or not), if Webb's performance is to stand - he raced against Pro's, and so gained a benefit from that circumstance.

I haven't even read the mag in years since it is always so out-of-date for results and the articles aren't much to write home about either.

Hogwash. Plummer ran 44.9 for 440y not 3 years later.

We will just have to disagree. I think if you asked any track historian whether 44.9 hand timed on cinders or 1:41.77 FAT on a modern track is better, the majority would say the 1:41.77.

We're hoping it stays, but we're thinking it's gone, just a matter of time.

Eaton on there 6 times. Holy crap.

If it goes down tonight, very few people will see it as there is no free streaming.
