Nice run by the Oregon Track Club Elite squad, coached by Mark Rowland (88 Olympic, pretty impressive steeple/mile combo in his day). Just saw Will run last week, and have seen
Matt, Nick before (love Nick’s finishes), and my best is Tyler was on the 400 meters, but great run guys! Send me a pic of the whole squad and its up on RBR!
