Can someone associated with Eugene/Nike, please admit that I'm write about their being too much track in Eugene. Rupp is about to run in the 10k final and there is no one in the stands.
You can't put every single freaking meet in Eugene and expect people to show up all the time.
Hell, I didn't even go back as I didn't want to be gone to the same place for a week yet again.
This announcing...

Down to 5... Pappas falls back.
Huddle, Infeld, Flanagan, Sisson, Cragg.
agreed. they should split it. people in portland are carrying the load. They are the ones driving down to Eugene. So put half the meet (5k, 10k) at lewis and clark. It would fill the stands.
Their
Sisson struggling.

Lewis and Clark was a cool venue.
Back to the womens 10k, it's jerry vs. ray.
Sisson falling back... 22 minutes.
7k 22:24
Carrie Tollefon clearly was a 1500 runner who doens't know much about a 10,000. You don't get dropped in mile 5 and then come back.
SIsson is done. But she'll be a good marathoner.
This female announcer is atrocious.
A little gap to Cragg but she's hanging on.
Iknow we aren't supposed to talk about body size on her or the mods will get bac but Sisson is bigger than your average super elite female. That makes it harder in the heat right?
Could she have hung had it not been so hot?

Yeah he has been the best one so far.
Dude - Rob Vermillion is the 800m school record holder at my high school. What a small world.
I'm out to try running in this nonsense heat, doesn't look too bad now.
PS to all: there is a rewind on the stream if you miss anything. Pretty good streaming.
Cragg has a super quick efficient stride.
Flanagan moves to the lead 8k 25:36.
Cragg immediately drops back.
Huddle bidding her time, looks quite comfortable.
Infeld looks good too.
Im not thrilled with the commentary.They are ignoring the fact that at the CHamps there are two races. 1 for 1st and one for 3rd. It was obvious that Cragg was cracking and they barely mentioned it.
You could see it coming for laps.
