Will someone give some live updates for those of us who only have our phones? Thanks.

Will try to do some of the distance races later. No promises about anything else--is someone willing to step up?

Oregon wins 4x100m by almost two seconds.

These guys are good announcers. Only thing that could improve this is if they would talk more about going down to your local high school track.

Announcer talking about how he was meet director and capped the middle school miles at 40 entries. Now they're at 48 (boys?). Promises to be interesting.

Question for everyone who is celebrating this meet being online for free tonight.

How many new fans are watching this meet because it is free online? Do you think people are just browsing the Internet and stumble across the stream? Or is everyone watching it online already a fan of track and field and sought it out?

Larry, mon ami. I had no idea you posted on this site.

Visual handoff by Chris... Mogg? in the Greek 4x100m. Announcer is surprised, he knows the guy.

How windy is it on the track?

How does this improve or not improve anything about the sport? I wish one of you cheap people would explain this concept

It gives people an opportunity to watch the sport which is kind of important if you want more fans. Only a few nuts will pay to watch Flotrack Pro and they are not enough to if track is ever going to become more popular. No one who is just getting interested in track will put up the money that Flotrack wants. This is not good for creating a larger fan base.

Now go back to your office at Flocasts.[/quote]

Who are these new fans? And how will they randomly find this stream? If you're newly interested in it, then you'll just watch the major meets for free on tv or just watch FloTrack THE NEXT DAY. I still don't understand how this helps or hurts the sport.

Was hearing 2.4 and 2.9 for winds so far on the 200

More people are watching this than a Flotrack Pro meet I would imagine. I would also think that there are people watching it who are students or locals who were told there was a free meet online with Oregon Olympians including Rupp and Centro. Some Frat guys are probably watching the stream for the Greek 4x100. In general free streams are going to attract more track fans than paid for meets.

I've lived in Eugene for 20+ years. A warm mid-70s spring day like this is similar to summer. All week we have had windy afternoons and calmer evenings.

Don't give up your day job to become a weatherman.

How many legal times so far? Suck it. Ha ha.

When you argue with me, better be right, or else.

Thanks. I assume it will die down a bit by the 3000 and 800.

More people maybe, but new track fans? I can't really picture any college students watching a meet online if they don't already like track. And maybe a handful of frat guys, although most are probably at the meet if they are interested.

I think it's great that this meet is free online, but I just don't buy the argument that it is a big deal for the sport. ESPN or NBC, sure, plenty of non track fans may watch. But a stream online that you have to seek out and is interrupted by non-college or pro races? Not much of a change.

is your video vibrating too?

it's starting to hurt my eyes

I love this announcer

Winner of girls' MS mile, 5:20. Pretty fast. There's a Schumacher from Bowerman AC who did pretty well for her age. Announcer goes Hmm...

MS boys' mile up now.

Haha announcer just straight making fun of the kid who goes out in 64.
