I hope they go to both events or this will be another example of track eating its own. Look, I get it. If you live on the West Coast, youdon't want to go East to potentially crappy weather at Penn, but one of the sports biggest problems is events canniablizing each other.
The following press release says Oregon is offering "more than $100,000 in prize money and travel support". I'm not sure how they get that figure as I see $5,000 each for 5 events plus $10000 for a team champ so that's like 35k. What am I missing? Regardless, it's working as the Brooks Beasts are also going.
