Codgie’s Blog: Track Town USA-Eugene, Oregon

Posted by Codgie | July 3, 2008

This is my first time in Eugene and I can safely say, this is what track and field should look like in the USA. Boisterous crowds, knowledgeable crowds, enthusiastic crowds. The stadium is filled to capacity every day with an overflow area for those who cannot get a seat in the stands and a large video screen so they can see all the action as well. Performances are off the chain and highlights abound. This is more than just a track geek’s best moment, but a best moment for families, sport lovers in general, sport writers and any individual looking for a good time,  with wonderful weather, hot and sunny but shaded by the cover over the stands and all the track action a person could crave. This model should be copied and carried on for years to come and track and field would have surpassed the glory days of the seventies. At Codrington Enterprises, there is an air of expectancy as we wait for one of our athletes, 400m runner Debbie Dunn, to conclude the final of the women’s 400m race with a great chance to represent the USA at the Beijing Olympics. Let the Games begin!
