    It’s too bad to see the deterioration of the track program at PSU. About 10 yrs ago PSU was a track powerhouse in the Big Sky conference. Their women would give NAU a run for their money year after year in track. They would produce amazing women sprinters and one of their runners still holds the all time Big Sky 200 meter record. They should have stuck with sprinting. They added depth and talent to the Big Sky. NAU is too dominant now winning by more than 100 pts on average.

    Yes, rainy, cold, Portland is a great place to focus on the sprints for a school without a track or indoor facilities. Brilliant, why didn't they think of that?

    Steph, where do the foreigners on the team live if they are commuter school with no dorms?

    I didn't mean everyone lives off-campus. I meant the student body as a whole, not just athletes, are largely comprised of students who commute from home or off-campus housing. It's not a "college town" vibe like UO.

    Steph, thanks for the clarification.

    I was recently in Portland and it’s really bad. The city is not safe, there’s a massive homeless population that the city does nothing to address, and it’s only getting worse. If you like to dodge human feces on your way to class- have at it.

    10 years ago NAU wasn't as good as they are now. Portland is never gonna compete well at conference because of altitude it's just how it is, they should switch to the wac or wcc.

    How then does Oregon have success since Eugene isn't at altitude either?

    Kebba Tolbert, who's now at Harvard, was the guy responsible for all of Portland State's success in the sprints despite having no facilities.

    On a side note, Washington isn't at altitude, but they seem to have success in the distances.
