Former University of Oregon Duck Andrew Wheating celebrates after his third-place finish in the men’s 1,500-meter run. Wheating will represent the United States in London at the 2012 Olympics.

bEckY mEtricknews editor

A roar shook Hayward as Leonel Manzano, Matthew Centrowitz and Andrew Wheating crossed the finish line. Wheating crumbled to the ground, staying on his knees while regaining strength. Cen-trowitz and Manzano celebrated their times. Happiness from the audience came not only because of the success of the runners, but the success of the former Ducks who placed second and third.

This was not the case at the beginning.Air thick with humidity and tension, the men’s 1,500-meter final

was one of the most uncertain events all day. No clear favorites came into focus, as there was nothing but strength in the top 12 competitors. The majority of the stadium was on their feet before the race even began.

From an Oregon perspective, there was the question of whether three former Ducks could sweep the podium.

Coming into the final, three big-name Oregon alums were among nine other elite runners competing to make it to London. Jordan McNamara, Wheating and Centrowitz had all placed at

different points in their respective qualifiers to get there.Andrew Wheating would be attempting to make his second

Olympiad after playing a key role in an Oregon sweep of the 800 meters at the Trials in 2008. He went to Beijing but placed a disap-pointing fourth in his qualifying heat and failed to advance.

In this race, Centrowitz played as the rookie, having turned pro-fessional only months prior. Yet up to this point in his career he has been anything but a novice, winning an NCAA championship in 2011 before shocking the track and field world by placing third at the 2011 IAAF Outdoor World Championships.

Their greatest threat to an all-Oregon sweep would be Leonel Manzano, a veteran of the event from Texas who also made the 2008 Olympic Team.

And even he was intimidated by the competition.“It was really tough out there, I didn’t really know just exactly

what to expect,” Manzano said. “I just knew I needed to be ready to kick.”

Wheating was worried about his race due to injuries that had been bothering him for the past couple weeks.

“I finally get there, and I’m thinking, ‘Oh god, I’m hoping I don’t tear my foot.’ And I see these two guys go off and I wanna go with

them, and I feel a spark in my foot and I just think it’s all over, and I just grit my teeth and just pound out to the finish,” Wheating said. “I blacked out the last 50 meters so I can’t really tell you how that felt but it was just this loud roar and the race was over.”

Centrowitz acknowledged his youth in the contexts of both experience and physical maturity.

“Unlike these two guys, this is my first Olympic team so I’m very excited to represent the U.S. at the Olympics,” Centrowitz said. “I just wanted to put myself in a good position, I knew I was fit and just, you know, come away with a top-three spot and qualify for the Olympics.”

Once again, it was Hayward’s fabled magic that helped bring Wheating and Centrowitz home.

“You saw the Hayward magic with Ashton, with Galen, you know, with all the Oregon alums, (the crowd) were there for us,” Wheating said. “Honestly, if this was the same race and you put me in Des Moines or California or some other track, I don’t think it would be the same kind of kick. The crowd here really does take 10 percent less energy for me to get down the home stretch because they push me the other 10 percent.”bmETriCk@dAilyEmErAld.Com

Oregon’s athletes find great success at US Olympic Trials

PrEstOn HiEfiElDfreeLance reporter

In 2012, stars with Uni-versity of Oregon ties shined bright in front of their home crowd at yet another Olympic Trials at historic Hayward Field.

June 22

The first group of UO athletes to qualify for the Olympic Games were those who ran in the 10,000 me-ters. On the men’s side, Galen Rupp and Matt Tegenkamp claimed the top two spots, with times of 27:25.33 and 27:33.94, respectively. Rupp, a graduate of Central Catho-lic High School in Portland and former UO star, is the all-time American record holder in the event and broke the Olympic Trials record with his effort. Tegenkamp currently lives in Portland and trains with Oregon Track Club Elite. On the women’s side, OTC Elite athletes Shalane Flana-gan (31:59.69) and Lisa Uhl (32:03.46) took the last two spots on the U.S. Olympic team for the 10,000 meter run.

June 23

While June 22 was an incredibly impressive day for Oregon athletes, June 23 will go down as one of the most storied days in the Olympic Trials. On that day, Ashton Eaton — a native of Bend, Ore., former UO Duck and member of OTC Elite — set the decathlon world record. His time in the 1,500 meters added 850 points to his to-tal score (9,039) and pushed him past Roman Sebrle of the Czech Republic (9,026) for the most points in a decathlon in history.

While Eaton’s performance felt like an anti-climatic end-ing, the Trials were just get-ting started. The next day, Salem, Ore., native Ryan Bai-ley punched his ticket to Lon-don by finishing third in the men’s 100-meter dash, with a

time of 9.93 seconds.

June 25

Fou r mo re O re gon athletes qualified for the Summer Games in four dif-ferent events. Jesse Williams was the first to move on to London when he placed third in the high jump final, clear-ing a mark of 2.28 meters (7 feet, 5 3/4 inches). Next to qualify was javelin thrower Cyrus Hostetler, a native of Newberg, Ore., and a former Duck. The two-time (then) Pac-10 champion threw 77.63 meters (254 feet, 8 inches) in Round 2 of the final.

Geena Gall of OTC Elite broke her previous PR in the 800 meters by over a second later that day, trimming her time from 2:00.44 to 1:59.24 in the women’s final to quali-fy for London. The fourth and final Oregon qualifier of the day was Nick Symmonds in the men’s 800 meters. Sym-monds took first with a time of 1:43.92 and soon thereafter received a compliment from Paris Hilton via Twitter. Tyler Mulder of OTC Elite and cur-rent Duck Elijah Greer were also in the final but finished in fifth and sixth, respec-tively, and therefore failed to qualify. Greer, a native of Lake Oswego, Ore., is expect-ed by many to vie for a spot in Rio de Janeiro in the 2016 Olympic Games.

June 28

The Trials resumed on June 28 after a two-day hia-tus. Evan Jager of OTC Elite made a big splash, finishing first in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase in 8:17.40.

The final event of the night, the men’s 5,000 me-ters, was one that will be re-membered for years to come. Rupp broke Oregon legend Steve Prefontaine’s Olympic Trials record of 13:22.80 by finishing in 13:22.67. OTC Elite member Julia Lucas was a heartbreaking .04 seconds away from earning a trip to London in the women’s 5,000 meters earlier in the night, placing fourth in the final with a time of 15:19.83.

June 29

Less than 24 hours later, 2010 NCAA Outdoor steeple-chase champion Bridget Franek claimed second place in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 9:35.62. The OTC Elite mem-ber will be running in her first Olympic Games.

July 1

The final official day of the Trials brought tremendous excitement — much of which can be credited to athletes with ties to Oregon. The first to qualify was Rachel Yurkov-ich, a native of Newberg, Ore., and a former Duck. She qualified to throw the javelin for Team USA by hitting a dis-tance of 56.85 meters (186 feet, 6 inches) in the fifth round of the women’s javelin throw final.

The last compelling event involving Oregon athletes was the men’s 1,500 meters final. Jordan McNamara of OTC Elite set the early pace for the race, leading for the first 400 meters before be-ing overtaken by Will Leer. After multiple lead changes, Oregon grad Matthew Cen-trowitz led the pack to begin the bell lap. He would battle with two-time NCAA Outdoor 1,500m champion Leonel Manzano throughout the last 400. During their race to the finish, former Duck star and OTC Elite member Andrew Wheating stormed ahead from the middle of the herd to within about 20 meters of Manzano and Centrowitz in a move that drew a roar from a home crowd. Ultimately, the order of finish would go Manzano (3:35.75), Centrow-itz (3:35.84) and Wheating (3:36.68).

***To recap — multiple

records broken, many tickets to London punched, great fan support, copious amounts of liquid sunshine and Oregon athletes surpassing expecta-tions? Yep. The 2012 Olympic Trials demonstrated why Eu-gene truly is Track Town USA.NEwS@dAilyEmErAld.Com

The U.S. Olympic Trials are over and soon Hayward Field will be left empty again. The tent city set up on the turf fields will be dismantled, and the corner of East 15th Avenue and Agate Street will once again open to traffic. But, the events of the last 10 days have added another chapter to Eu-gene’s already rich track history. Here’s a look back at some of the best moments of the Trials.

Ashton Eaton: World’s greatest athlete

The Eugene portion of the 2012 Olympic Trials began with the decathlon 100-meter dash. In the third and final heat, Ashton Eaton exploded out of the blocks and covered the distance faster than anyone in decathlon history. Less than an hour later, Eaton leapt farther than any long jumper had in decathlon competition. In fact, Eaton’s leap would have placed him in a second-place tie in the overall long jump competition — and his mark came in grueling wind and rain.

His dominance continued through the rest of the first day of competition and into the second. With two events remaining, fans and media speculated that he was within striking distance of either the American or world record.

After a near-PR in the javelin, Ea-ton still needed a personal-best time in the 1,500 meters — by nearly two seconds — to equal the world record. With 21,000-plus fans egging him on and 1,500-meter specialist Curtis Beach setting a brisk pace, Eaton drafted to the homestretch. With the finish line approaching, Beach slowed to a crawl in his last few strides, allowing Eaton to set the world record in a winning effort.

Dead Heat (and its aftermath)

With finish-line technology having taken great leaps in the past decade, a true dead heat is al-most unfathomable at this level of competition — but that’s exactly what happened in the women’s

100-meter dash final. Unofficial results initially showed Jeneba Tarmoh edging out Allyson Felix by one one-thousandth of a sec-ond for the third and final spot on the Olympic team. But photo analysis of the finish using cam-eras shooting at 3,000 frames per second were unable to name a clear winner.

The dead heat will be resolved by a run-off on Monday evening at 5:00 p.m. The unique, head-to-head match will be televised live by NBC (Admission to Hayward is free for fans).

Rupp outkicks Lagat

If there has been a criticism of Galen Rupp over the course of his illustrious career, it’s that he should devote more training to

improving his finishing kick. In the men’s 5,000 meters on Sat-urday, Rupp silenced those crit-ics by beating out Bernard Lagat — known as a strong finisher — on the final straightaway. Rupp had the lead on the last lap but started to fade around the Bower-man Curve before kicking it into high gear along the final straight-away. The 5,000-meter race came down to less than a quarter of a second difference between Rupp and Lagat, with Rupp prevailing in 13:22.67 — to barely eclipse Steve Prefontaine’s long-standing meet record.

Days earlier, Rupp set another Olympic Trials record, winning the 10,000 meters — and leav-ing absolutely no doubt — by clocking a 27:25.33, crossing the

finish line more than eight sec-

onds ahead of Matt Tegenkamp

and bettering the Olympic “A”

Standard by nearly 20 seconds.

Felix wins 200 meters

After their dead heat in the

100-meter dash, Felix and Tar-

moh each qualified for the

200-meter final, meaning anoth-

er potential trip to London was

on the line. Felix, a 200 special-

ist, overcame a relatively slow

reaction time out of the blocks

to win in a meet-record time of

21.69 seconds. That time broke

a mark set by one of the great-

est female athletes in American

history, Florence Griffith-Joyner.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday MathisARIES (March 21-April 19). Consider turn-ing the video camera on yourself so you can objectively see what others see in you. Your presentation will be key to gaining the respect and buy-in of the people you need to influence now.TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In the mood to feed your mind, you’ll be on the search for in-telligent life in the universe wherever you go. You won’t be disappointed, either. The book-store, coffee shop and library are your safest bets for quality conversation.GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It takes years of conditioning for people to be socially at ease. But if you’re naturally inclined toward bond-ing, the process doesn’t seem like work. Your grace is so natural that it appears effortless.CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your faith that good things are coming your way is what makes it so. Also, your relationship with a happy air sign (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) helps you stay positive. Replace negativity with optimistic thoughts. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s one thing to be supportive and quite another to do so uncon-ditionally. You’ll prove that you’re there for a friend or partner with your unfailingly positive, constructive feedback. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The pursuit of perfection may be futile in that perfection is an impossible standard. But there are excellent near-perfect findings along the way to make such a quest worthwhile. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Nourishment isn’t just about your food choices. Your spirit needs nourishment, too. Following an interest into deeper and more intricate levels will be soul

satisfying. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The situation at hand calls for quick reflexes. You’ll put your wants and needs on the back burner in order to handle the current scene in the most effec-tive way.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You sense what people want to hear, and you have a tal-ent for delivering these sentiments in just the right way. It’s a beautiful thing indeed when such words also happen to be the truth.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Being grounded is usually a fine quality, suggesting a solid emotional core and the ability to relate to people in a common reality. The only time be-ing grounded is a liability is when you’d rather be flying.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In your life, things are either growing or shrinking, but nev-er static. So there really isn’t such a thing as a “status quo.” What “status quo” really means to you is “shrinking.”PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It doesn’t take a clever plan to get your finances on track. Rather, it takes a basically sensible plan and a stick-to-it attitude. You’ll develop such a plan (and attitude) in the weeks to come.TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 2). You don’t have to go out of your way to stand for anything. Just be who you are. Your confidence will grow as you realize that you are enough. You’ll call some key shots at work this month. Also, when the boss is away, you’ll have a chance to prove your great value. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 33, 14, 37 and 50.

Student athlete meet student journalist.

OFF THE BAT | DAVID LIEBERMAN

Olympic Trials experience will be one to remember

DAVID LIEBERMAN

is a senior majoring

in business administration

with a concentration

in sports business. A

Portland native, he remains a diehard Trail

Blazers fan despite tortured

childhood memories.

Through the rain and shine and early-morning wake up calls, they pre-vailed. Over the past two weeks at the U.S. Olympic Trials, a group of talented individuals came together, put their best efforts on the line and formed an elite team on a worldwide stage.

I’m talking about the student journalists at the Oregon Daily Emerald.

In all seriousness, it’s truly been an honor for our staff to witness some of the world’s finest track and field ath-letes in their quests to represent the U.S. in London. There have been a few groundbreaking performances that will be impossible to forget, including former University of Oregon Duck and native Oregonian Ashton Eaton setting a world record in the decathlon — in dramatic fashion, no less.

Yet, it’s unfeasible to pick a single moment — on the track or off — that encapsulates what we’ve experienced over the past 10 days. Unlike more main-stream events in the American sporting landscape, a track meet is best represent-ed by a collage of images rather than a single endearing moment.

The confusing theater of a dead heat in the women’s 100-meter dash. The sudden collapse of a former Olympic gold medalist in the men’s decathlon. A proverbial passing of the torch in the men’s 10,000 meters, with hometown hero Galen Rupp breaking the storied marks of local legend Steve Prefontaine.

All of these moments — and many more — leave indelible marks on fans, athletes and coaches alike. It’s really up to the individual to determine their rela-tive importance. Everyone has a favorite event, a favorite face, a personal history. It’s that unique context that ultimately decides where a record or performance lands in our psyche.

I can’t claim to speak for our orga-nization as a whole. But in my mind, what has made these two weeks so special is as much about ambiance as it is about world-leading marks and landmark victories.

As a sports reporter during the 2011-12 academic year, I’ve had the privilege of covering a number of high-profile events, among them the Pac-12 Cham-pionships in both track and football, the Rose Bowl and basketball’s National In-vitational Tournament. Though some of those spectacles rank remarkably high in our nation’s consciousness, they can’t touch the Olympic Trials in terms of its scope and familial atmosphere.

Don’t get me wrong: Track fans are a courteous, fun and unassuming bunch. But during the Trials, it’s impossible to walk around campus for more than five minutes without seeing a spirited jogger trot by. The fraternal nature of the clan was evidenced in an email the Emerald received days before the Trials from a man named, of all things, Peanut.

Since 1988, Dwayne ‘Peanut’ Harms has been organizing, in his own words, “the people’s social focal point of the USA Olympic Trials.” Before inviting our reporters to join him for a beer at the Wild Duck Cafe (this year’s chosen hub), he offered some words of warn-ing: “This is serious track geek stuff.”

A quick visit to the Wild Duck proved that it really was track geek stuff — in the best way possible. In short, track and field heaven.

At the same time, the past 10 days as a whole deserve the same label. De-spite grueling morning-to-night shifts, it’s been easy for for our journalists to pick up on the vibe. And, it’s that end-less reserve of energy that’s propelled us to producing great coverage on a daily basis.

As the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials come to a close, I can’t help but a feel a little nostalgic. As budding journalists with uncertain futures, a sense of finality may not be appropriate. This party may be over, but in four years, the festival will reunite. After one of the most satisfying experiences in my short career as sports journalist, I — for one — will do my best to be there.dlieberman@dailyemerald.com
