Symmonds continues dominance in men’s 800m

It’s been called the most exciting race in track and field, and Monday’s 800-meter races proved to be no exception. Nicholas Symmonds ran a blazing 1:43.92 to take first place, finishing nearly a second ahead of Khadevis Robinson. Robinson’s second-place finish offers some redemption for a heartbreaking fourth-place fin-ish at the Olympic Trials four years ago. Duane Solomon Jr. took the third spot on Team USA, finishing in a near dead heat with Robinson, just one-hundredth of a second slower at 1:44.65.

Symmonds makes his second-straight Olympic team in the 800 meters, repeating his first-place finish at the 2008 Olympic Trials, when he was part of a historic Oregon sweep. In Beijing four years ago, Symmonds advanced to the semi-finals before finishing sixth and missing out on a chance to run for a gold medal.

“That bitter taste from not making a final has been in my mouth for four years,” he said. “There’s only one way to fix that.”

His winning time of 1:43.92 was the fastest 800 ever run by an American at Hayward Field. With cool temperatures and rela-tively low wind, the Oregon Track Club star said he knew at the beginning the conditions were ripe for a fast race.

“As I was warming up, my legs felt great,” Symmonds said. “I looked up at the American flag and saw it sitting still and thought, ‘We could really do something special tonight.’”

As the elder statesmen of the group, 35-year-old Robinson said

he’s encouraged by the fact that it took career efforts from younger racers to challenge him. Even at his age, Robinson says he knows he can still compete with the best in the world.

Solomon earns his first Olympic bid after shaving more than half a second off his previous PR, set two years ago in Des Moines. Solomon said his plan was to run in the middle of the pack early on and pick runners off one at a time in the last half of the race.

Oregon’s Elijah Greer was in contention for a a spot in London, sit-ting in fourth place as the pack made its final turn. He started to charge forward, but eventually fell to sixth with a time of 1:45.40.

Montano on top in women’s 800m

In the women’s race, Alysia Montano took first place in 1:59.08. Mon-tano lived up to her reputation as a fast starter and opened up a sizable lead in the first 400 meters while four runners battled for second and third.

“For me, my first 600 I wanted to simulate what it will be like, what it has been like, at the world stage,” Montano said. “There’s no point in being conservative if you’re not going to make the next round.”

Montano’s lead evaporated considerably in the last 200 meters of the race. Geena Gall, Alice Schmidt and Molly Beck-with all jockeyed for position around the Bowerman Curve, aim-ing to challenge for the top spot with an all-out sprint on the fi-nal straightaway. Five women finished the race quicker than the Olympic ‘A’ standard time of 1:59.90, with Gall and Schmidt finishing in 1:59.24 and 1:59.46, respectively, to round out a Nike sweep of the top three.

“We all knew it was going to be a dogfight at the end,”

Schmidt said.It’s the first Olympic team for Montano, who has

competed for the United States in both the indoor and outdoor World Championships. She took third at the World Indoor Cham-pionships in 2010 and placed just outside of the medals at the 2011 World Championships.

Also making her first Olympic team is Gall, a ten-time All-American at the University of Michigan, who has also run for the U.S. at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. Montano’s narrow victory of Gall was a repeat of this year’s Prefontaine Clas-sic, where Gall’s then-PR of 1:59.28 wasn’t enough to beat the notoriously fast-starting Montano.

With the third-place finish, Schmidt makes her second consec-utive 800-meter Olympic team after a second-place finish at the 2008 Olympic Trials. Schmidt finished sixth in the opening round in Beijing with a mark several seconds slower than her PR at the time.

SCENE

diana higginsspecial sections reporter

National Lampoon’s “Animal House” is widely recognized as one of the best college movies of all time. But in Eugene, it is more than that. It is a hilarious tour of the Univer-sity of Oregon campus through the eyes of inappropriate frat boys. Director John Landis brought the film crew to the University in 1978 to create the masterpiece set at the fictional Faber College. Almost all of the buildings used during filming still stand, which means anyone visiting Eugene has the op-portunity to retrace the steps of John Belushi, Kevin Bacon and the other cast members as they created the comedy classic.

The movie’s opening credits show two stu-dents leaving their dorm to begin the frater-nity rush process. The dorm they are leaving is Carson, located at 1450 E. 13th Ave. The characters walk past Johnson Hall, the admin-istration building featured many times in the movie, including the scene where the Delta boys put a horse in Dean Wormer’s office. Johnson Hall is on the same street as Carson, at 1258 E. 13th Ave. The boys also pass the Knight Library and the Jordan Schnitzer Mu-seum of Art, which are in the quad just past

Johnson Hall on East 13th Avenue.The outside of the film’s Delta house

belonged to a house at 751 E. 11th Ave. that was torn down in 1986. Today, a plaque on the property commemorates the site’s use in the movie. Scenes inside the Delta house, however, were filmed at the Northwest Christian University’s Center for Teaching and Learning, located nearby at 763 E. 11th Ave. This is where the toga party was filmed, along with the scene where D-Day rides a motor-cycle up the stairs and the upstairs bedroom scenes. The exterior of the same building was used in the movie as the Tri Pi sorority, where Mandy Pepperidge lives.

The Omega house scenes, both inside and out, were filmed at 729 E. 11th Ave., which the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at the UO current-ly lives in. Just like in the movie, this house is located close to the house used for the Delta fraternity. Emily Dickinson College, where the boys use a girl’s death to get dates, is actually the UO’s Gerlinger Hall, on campus at 1486 University Street.

The scene where Delta boys hit golf balls at the military trainees takes place on the soccer fields southwest of Hayward Field, which is directly seen behind the men doing jumping jacks. The Walton dorm complex to the north and Agate Hall to the east can both be seen in the background during this scene.

Other recognizable scenes include Bluto’s zit moment, filmed in the Erb Memorial Union

Fishbowl cafeteria located on campus at the southeast corner of East 13th Avenue and University Street, and Pinto and Clorette’s romantic moment in the middle of Autzen Stadium, located on the other side of the Wil-lamette River at 2727 Leo Harris Parkway.

While most scenes were shot on or near campus, a few required the cast and crew to travel a bit. For example, the Dexter Lake Club

used in the film is located at 39128 Dexter Road, about 18 miles southeast of Eugene in Dexter, Ore.

(For more detailed story on the Dexter Lake Club, turn to page 5.)

Also, the homecoming parade that ends the film was really shot in Cottage Grove, a city 21 miles south of campus.

With an estimated 20,000 extra spectators from out of the area bringing in approximately $31 million, local busi-ness owners are pleased with both the economic boom and the atmo-sphere surrounding the 2012 Olympic Trials.

Two local restaurant owners were elated with the results of the influx in tourist and Eugene-native traffic during the trials.

Stephanie Kimmel — owner of Marché cafe and provisions — said that the her business has seen exactly what they had been expecting as far as increased sales go. She noted that her 5th street location receives a lot of business from fans, athletes, and others stay-ing at the Inn at the 5th, a new hotel just blocks from her restaurant.

“I would say for us that it’s been how we expected with a lot of fans, athletes, entourages and media members as well,” Kimmel said. “The traffic from local hotels

has been great with a lot of business at breakfast in the restaurant through-out the day into the bar at night.”

Kimmel explained that despite being closer in proximity to the trials, the Marché Museum Cafe is not doing as well as her main location.

“It’s a quiet time there actually, which it usually is right around now,” she said. “It’s holding true to that pattern.”

Another local business that is feeling the eco-nomic boom of the Trials is just around the corner from all the action. Chris Hogle — owner of Studio One Cafe — said that the atmosphere of the trials is much different this year than in 2008. His business has been riding a wave of traffic that started back in dead week for them, continu-ing on through finals into graduation and the Trials.

He said that more

spectators are choosing to enter Eugene’s neigh-borhoods to find places to eat while locals are continuing to frequent his restaurant, where as business saw a decrease during the Trials just four years ago.

“Last time, it was dead; this year, it’s completely different, at least in my neighborhood,” he said. “There are people walk-ing around everywhere, it’s crazy as opposed to four years ago.”

Hogle said that he believes the trials are much more inviting to locals this year and has also helped get tourists out into the community to see what Eugene has to offer. Whether it be the festival atmosphere or simply a larger amount of traffic, local restaurant owners are excited the Trials are having such a satisfying outcome on business.

Naturally, not everything can be as entertaining as seeing who will be repre-senting the country in the Olympics this year, but TrackTown USA makes it easy to stay busy and en-tertained. Here are some events going on for the of the week.

June 26 — Community Day

Although it’s the first day of the dark days, the Hayward Field area will still have a lively atmosphere. Youth per-formances are going to flood the block for the

Community Day.Starting at 1 p.m.

and ending around 8 p.m., visitors can go see a performance by the Bounce Gymnastics and Circus Arts, which will be performing both floor and aerial acts as well as joining The Dance Factory’s dance teams.

Musical groups range from alternative rock groups — such as Keegan and Anthony, Melting Gift and The Rue’d Crew — to The Smores christian rock group with triplet family members and The Subpi-lots, an all-girl classic and modern rock band.

For a typical Eugene experience, listen and look for the Denbaya Drum and Dance’s beats and dancing. Mara

Rennie, a singer and guitar player with mod-ern takes on pop and folk classics, and Olivia Lang-ley, a singer/songwriter from Corvallis who just finished her first demo, are the two solo acts of all the performances.

If you’re in the mood for a little bit of every-thing, Employees of the Month have been playing everything from rock to ballads to heavy metal together since 2009.

June 28 — Stone in Love

This Journey cover band out of Portland, Ore., will be encouraging and entertaining crowds and athletes alike with renditions of hit Journey songs, such as Don’t Stop Believin’. They take the

Visa Entertainment stage at 8 p.m.

June 29 — Eve 6 and Velveteen Playboys

Eve 6 emerged in the ‘90s with their explosive rock song, Inside Out and followed a couple years later with Here’s to the Night. Now, they are heading over to the stage at 5:15 p.m. to perform their new album, Speak in Code. The Velveteen Playboys will be taking the stage shortly after at 6:30 p.m. to perform their new album, Shaken not Stirred. The seven-piece band said they are influenced by artists ranging from Rush to The Clash.

June 30 — Savannah Coen and

The Phil Bowermans

Savannah Coen, who is 14-year old, aims to break into the blue’s genre at 12:15 p.m. Fol-lowing her are The Phil Bowermans at 7 p.m., an uptempo group of Nike employees and talented singers who celebrate the Nike founders.

July 1 — The Gloria Darlings and Blackbird

Seattle indie-rock and folk-grass band, The

Gloria Darlings, will take

the stage at 12:15 p.m.

The trio aims to be “an

innovative string band

like nothing ever seen

or heard,” according to

their website. For the last

performance of the trials

before the athletes head

off to London, Portland,

Ore.-based Beatles’ trib-

ute band Blackbird hopes

to wish them well on their

way at 5 p.m.bandersen@dailyemerald.com

ODE HISTORY

dashiell paulsonnews reporter

The McKenzie River Trail is a symbolic Or-egon adventure; verdant forest, lush undergrowth and more biodiversity than you can shake a walking stick at. Perfect for leisurely hiking and mountain biking, the trail reaches a finish at Clear Lake. Heading east on Highway 126, McKenzie is about a 45-minute drive away from Eugene.

University student Andrew Stewart took to the trail with his girlfriend earlier in the year and

thinks it represents the scenic side of Oregon.

“If you’re looking for a trail that shows the ‘real Oregon’, this would be the one I think, coming from a Californian. See some green and maybe Sasquatch,” he said.

The McKenzie has been considered by some Big-foot believers to be prime Sasquatch territory, and several searches have been carried out to find the elusive forest dweller. None have found success.

At the end of the trail is the accurately named Clear Lake. Formed roughly 3,000 years ago, the lake is a great spot for fishing and a fantastic site for altitude scuba

diving. From the surface, the naked eye can see 100 feet to the bottom on most days.

The trail makes for relaxed hiking, but is more exciting seen from the seat of a mountain bike. Waterfalls, lava fields and crystal-clear water make for great photo opportunities. Do not forget to bring a cam-era or GoPro for this one.dpaulson@dailyemerald.com

On Oregon Highway 58, halfway between Eu-gene and Oakridge, Ore., stands an old roadhouse bar and cafe called the Dexter Lake Club, which was established in 1949.

The Dexter Lake Club has built a long history as a popular cafe, bar and live music venue. The large neon sign that sits atop the high roofline is an iconic symbol along Highway 58. The sign, along with the thick roadhouse vibe made it

a perfect location to film scenes for the popular movie Animal House in 1977. Weekly, you’ll find dedicated Animal House movie fans seeking out this famous landmark to take pictures and remember the movie.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The cooks pre-pare hearty meals made from scratch, and there is live music most nights of the week. It’s also located very close to Dexter Lake, a recreational lake about 35 minutes southeast of Eugene.

Dexter Lake offers year-round fishing, seasonal water skiing,

sailing, swimming, pic-nicking and hunting.

This restaurant and lake are both great places to visit if you’re looking for a good adven-ture with a Eugene feel to it. There is a lot of history and interesting facts about the Dexter Lake Club and is definitely worth checking out on a beautiful spring or summer day!aroemeling@dailyemerald.com

Ashton Eaton sets decathlon world record

When a hometown hero breaks a world record in one of the most storied events in Olympic history, people tend to notice. Such was the case Saturday night, when former University of Oregon Duck Ash-ton Eaton capped his decathlon with an inspired effort in the 1,500 meters.

He had Hayward Field buzzing for two days straight after beginning his weekend with decathlon world records in the long jump and 100 me-ters on Friday. He didn’t shine in the shot put, but he did string together solid marks in the high jump and 400 meters to finish that night. On Saturday, he con-tinued his assault with relative-ly strong marks in the discus, pole vault and javelin before etching his name in Hayward Field lore with a grueling final push in the 1,500.

“With 600 meters to go, I became a firm believer that the Hayward magic does exist,” Ea-ton said after the race. “I felt it for 600 meters … I knew there was no way I was not going to get the world record.”

Galen Rupp claims men’s 10,000-meter title

Rupp enjoyed an illustrious

collegiate career at Oregon, becoming the first person ever to win six NCAA distance races during the same calen-dar year when he captured the 2008 NCAA Cross Country crown, the 2009 NCAA Indoor 3,000-meter, 5,000-meter and distance-medley titles as well as the 2009 NCAA Outdoor 5,000 and 10,000 meters.

At the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing, he continued to add to his accomplishments with a 13th-place finish in the 10,000

— but will be looking for more in 2012. Friday afternoon, he bided his time early before bursting away from the pack and cruising across the finish line in 27:25.33, well ahead of the field. He already owned the American record in the event but added another chapter to University of Oregon’s long-distance lore by becoming one of three in-state residents to sweep the podium.

“I always feel really lucky to

be able to run here, basically on

my home track,” Rupp said.

Justin Gatlin forges path to redemption,

punches ticket to London

Six years ago, Justin Gatlin — who won gold in the 100 meters at the 2004 Athens Olympics — was eschewed from track and field after test-ing positive for a testosterone precursor. He was eventu-ally banned from competition for four years. Gatlin, now 30

years old, had been steadily working his way back to elite status before a breakout perfor-mance this weekend.

He won the 100 in a blistering 9.80 on Sunday night. He out-dueled heavily favored Tyson Gay, who looked less than thrilled during post-race media availability. Gatlin’s race was the fastest 100 run by a 30-year-old in history. Typi-cally, sprinters peak in their early 20s before fading into the limelight. Can Gatlin buck that

trend by recapturing glory eight years after claiming gold in Ath-ens? Only time will tell. Either way, hiss rise from the ashes has captivated track supporters around the world.

Women’s 100 meter final: I’m going to London...right!?

One of the most satisfying aspects of the 100-meter dash is its brutal finality. As a sprinter, either you leave the blocks in time or you don’t. Yet on Sat-urday, a combination of coinci-dence and poor fortune turned the event into a question mark. Two things that can’t be dis-puted: Carmelita Jeter won in 10.92, and Tianna Madison fin-ished second in 10.96 seconds. Third place is where things got complicated.

Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh, two Nike athletes, tied for third in 11.07. Even high-tech detectors and post-race photos couldn’t settle the dead heat. After over 24 hours of uncertainty, USA Track & Field finally presented its final ruling on the situation Sunday — and even that was confus-ing. Depending on the prefer-ences of Felix and Tarmoh, the tie could be settled by coin flip, run-off or concession. While no official announcement has yet surfaced, all signs point to a run-off. The third 100-meter Olympian for the U.S. is still up in the air, and the drawn-out drama of the event at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials may stand as unrivaled in recent history.dlieberman@dailyemerald.com

megan sanDersonnews reporter

From across the United States, track and field athletes have come to Eugene to com-pete in the Olympic Trials, including athletes right here in Oregon.

Curren t and fo rmer students from the University of Oregon have and contin-ue to compete in the Trials, securing spots in the semi-finals, finals and, ultimately, to London for the 2012 Olym-pics. Here is how Oregon ath-letes, past and present, have done over the first five days of competition.

***

Ashton Eaton, a 2010 graduate from the UO, re-ceived the first, Olympic Team bid in the men’s decath-lon. He broke the previous world record of 9,026 points set in 2001 by 13 points to end with a score of 9,039.

Also heading to the Olympics is Duck alum Becky Holliday from the women’s pole vault. This is her first qualification for the Olym-pics. She qualified in second place with a clearance of 14

feet, 11 inches/4.55 meters.Competing in the 400

meters, Keshia Baker, a former Duck, advanced to the finals with a fourth-place finish, with a time of 51.62 seconds. In the finals, she finished in sixth with a time of 51.23.

Phyllis Francis, a current UO sophomore, finished eighth in preliminaries of the 400 meters with a time of 55.46. She was unable to advance further.

In the women’s 100 meters, UO sophomore Eng-lish Gardner advanced to the finals from a second-place finish and a time of 11.10. In the finals, she finished seventh with a time of 11.28.

Melissa Gergel, a Duck alum, competed in the wom-en’s pole vault, tying for sev-enth with a clearance at 14 feet, 5.25 inches/4.40 meters.

In the 800 meters, Laura Roesler, a UO sophomore, placed tenth with a time of 2:03.35.

Universi ty of Oregon senior Lauryn Newson fin-ished third in the women’s triple jump, advancing to the finals with a personal best of 44 feet, 4.25 inch-es/13.52 meters. She also beat the UO record of 43 feet, 5 inches/13.23m. This is her fifth career triple jump event.

In the men’s 800 meters,

rising UO senior Elijah Greer advanced to the finals, taking fourth overall with a time of 1:46.28. He was able to move on to the finals, where he fin-ished in sixth place with a time of 1:45:40.

Making finals in the men’s javelin was rising sophomore

Sam Crouser, who placed seventh with a throw of 248 feet/75.60 meters, and alum Cyrus Hostetler, who placed eighth with a throw of 245 feet, 2 inches/74.74 meters. Alums Ryan Brandel placed 18th with a mark of 230 feet, 6 inches/70.27 meters, while

Alex Wolff fouled out on his three attempts.

Justin Frick, a UO alum, moved to the finals in the men’s high jump with a clear-ance of three bars, with his best clearance being 7 feet, 1.75 inches/2.18 meters.

Placing eighth in the men’s

10,000 meters, senior Luke Puskedra finished with a time of 27:56:62.

Gray skies, light rain and the men’s discus throw prelims opened up day five of com-petition. After the first flight, Russ Winger pulled ahead of the competition with a throw of 62.61 meters — 5.4 meters further than his next-best at-tempt. However, Nike-spon-sored Lance Brooks started his attempts with a 64.80-meter throw as the third athlete in the second flight. It was that effort that won him the gold medal spot, with Winger in second place and Jarrod Rome in third.

I n t h e w o m e n ’ s 3,000-meter steeplechase prelims, Emma Coburn, Sha-laya Kipp and Mason Cathey took top spots in the first heat. The second heat was much less clear cut, hav-ing three different leaders throughout the race. Ulti-mately, Bridget Franek, Sara Hall and Ashley Higgin-son placed in the top three. Six more competitors will join that trio from the finals on June 29.

In the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase qualifying round, Evan Jager, Donald Cabral and Craig Foye took top spots in the first heat. Daniel Huling, Ben-jamin Bruce and Kyle Alcorn bested the rest of their heat

and will continue with two more runners into the finals.

Pole vaulters appeared to be having some trouble, with only seven clearing 5.30 meters in the first round of prelims. Ultimately, only five athletes passed the next height of 5.40 meters, with 11 men making the final total.

In the javelin, University of Oregon star Sam Crouser came back trying to earn a medal. His first throw landed outside the fence separating events, but luckily no one was hurt. While Texas A&M’s Sam Humphrey’s lead the group with a throw of 81.86 meters — a lifetime best — Crouser came back with a 74.70-meter throw on his second attempt, putting him in sixth. In an incredible turn of events, he threw a 80.80 meters on his seventh throw, placing him in second. However, along with the rest of the podium, he was unable to meet the Olympic “A” standard and thus will not be going to London based off that distance.

The men’s high jumpers also appeared to struggle, as only three jumpers met the Olympic standard. While Nick Ross, Erik Kynard and Jamie Nieto place third, second and first, respectively. Ross did not make the Olympic “A” stan-dard and thus will not move on. Instead, 2011 USA Outdoor Champion Jesse Williams will go in his place as he previously hit the standard.

In the women’s long jump,

Amanda Smock, Sheena Gor-don and Andrea Geubelle took first, second and third, respectively. University of Or-egon’s Lauryn Newson took seventh. Due to each missing the Olympic “A” standard, the women going to the Olympics will be also be determined by previous scores.

In the women’s 5K, Nike/Oregon Track Club Elite’s Ju-lia Lucas, Lisa Uhl and Lauren

Fleshman will be joining nine

other women for the finals

on June 28.

The men’s 5,000 prelim was

an impossibly close race in the first heat and resulted in UO’s Trevor Dunbar taking third just behind Andrew Bumbalough and men’s 10,000-meter cham-pion Galen Rupp. In the sec-ond heat, Lopez Lomong, Ber-nard Lagat and Benjamin True took first, second and third, re-spectively. Sixteen athletes in total are moving on to the final on June 28.
