November 11, 2007, University of Oregon won
the NCAA Cross Country Championships with
a record 3 men in the top 10. Since the
days of the notorious Steven R. Prefontaine,
Eugene has not rocked with fever of running.
The resurrection of U of O to running excellence
appears to have followed the success that American
running sensations Allen Webb, Bernard Lagat and
Matt Tegenkamp demonstrated at the WTFC last summer.
The Road is once again to Eugene.
no.
They don't have to study at UO.
1. its not a record to have three in top ten, wisco did it two years ago
2. NCAAs is not on nov 11th
3. you spelled alan webbs name wrong
4. if this is considered a legit post you should be hung
We will see! The Ducks have a chance to show their form at the end of September in the Bill Dellinger Invitational cross-country at the Springfield Country Club. My guess is that Wisconsin will take them in the BDI. Stuart Eagon is going to have a fantastic cross-country season this year.
the ducks own and life and thats all anyone can say about that...r returning crew this year is amazing, not 2 mention the youth which in a couple years will make us even better
"notorious" Steve Prefontaine?
Umm....What's that all about?
As is celebrity, fame, renown. Notoriety
does not always have a negative edge. Your
english lesson of the day.
Stupid, error-riddled post.
End of thread.

Stanford had four in top 10 in 2002 and 2003.
Yeah, thats a good dream to have along with being able to fly and moving things with my mind. Oregon has a chance but I bet a couple people will blow up there and they will get third. I just think CU and Wisco own indiana.
McDonnell and Wetmore both do a better job than Lananna to prepare their runners to perform their best when it counts the most. Slightly lesser talent that is much better prepared trumps superior talent that is poorly prepared (see also: Schumacher).
h.s. isn't the same as the pac-10. or is not that impressive compared to the rest of the pac-10.
all i know is that Stuart Eagon is finally gonna beat Rupp
yeah lanana sucked when he was at stanford...
hey has acosta broken 4 yet or did they burn him out already?

I believe he ran 3:42 or 3:41 as a freshman, which would certainly be under 4:00 in the mile. He might have run under 4:00 indoors, don't remember.
What makes you think he will get burned out? He will probably be very strong this cross season.
Acosta is doing very well. He red-shirted cross country last year and for a freshman I think he had a very good track season. He came very close to breaking four minutes for the mile. Look for him to be 4-5 man on the U of O Cross team this fall. I would like to see the kid move up to 5000m or the steeple. I don't think he quite has the leg speed for the 1500. He has a very good attitude and he is a very intelligent young man . With his skills he will become one of the best Duck runners in the last twenty years...it will just take some time.

I'd bet Lanana does a lot of ins and outs with who he races during the regular season. Not the same team twice in a row for most of the season. They have enough depth for that now and will try to get exposure for the young ones and rest for the older ones.
The Dellinger Invite may not see Oregon's strongest team, perhaps Wisconsin as well but they are travelling so they may want to bring the heat.
