PARKER Eugene A welcome departure To all those in the Eugene/Springfield track community: I was a former Sheldon distance runner distance runner n. A runner who competes in distance races. , and Chris Yorges never coached me during track season in high school. Wait! I never was coached by anyone but myself during track season in high school. I did workouts and runs at Churchill, South Eugene, Marist, Hendricks Park Hendricks Park (32 ha / 78 acres) is the oldest city park in Eugene, Oregon. Just blocks away from the University of Oregon campus, it contains mature forest, a world-renowned 12-acre rhododendron garden, and a native plant garden. , Alton Baker Park Alton Baker Park is located in Eugene, Oregon, United States, near Autzen Stadium.

At every other school, hard work earns praise. At Sheldon it earned punishment. At most schools, running a fast time early in the track season meant you're off to a promising start. At Sheldon it meant your track season was over. The conclusion was you've `peaked!' At track meets, I never once got neither advice nor race strategy from Mr. Yorges. Wait! I never got advice nor race strategy from Pleus during track season either. I do remember hearing that very distinct, high-pitched voice of Mr. Yorges yelling "Go John!" or "Can't handle the Randall!" or even "Let's Go Let's Go may refer to: Television
I am very happy for the distance runners at Sheldon for the departure of Jenifer Pleus. JOHN RANDALL People with the name John Randall
Eugene Make comparisons fair Luke Jackson deserves every accolade for his phenomenal Ducks basketball career. For versatility, I don't think any of Oregon's historical greats could surpass him. But the game has changed in some basic ways that have to be considered when compiling all-time player records. It's natural for recent stars to top most of the lists because some have played many more games. The regular season has more games than in the days of Stan Love, Greg Ballard and Laddie lad·die n. A boy or young man; a lad. Noun 1. laddie - a male child (a familiar term of address to a boy) sonny, sonny boy, cub, lad Gale. The big difference is that players of recent years have been able to play four varsity seasons since rules were changed to make freshmen eligible for varsity play. In fairness, all season and career records should be based on players' averages. Only then will it be a just comparison of achievement. GEORGE BERES Eugene Embarrassing deal Sounds like it was a bit tough for the Sheldon coach, his players and their parents to see their team dismantled after taunting Oregon City. As coach Roth said, "Nobody likes to be embarrassed, and our kids felt embarrassed tonight." The girls' parents have every right to be proud of their talented daughters, but a small point can be made here: Showing "you're not worthy so we'll crush you" behavior by steamrolling some of the local teams (i.e. the Springfield Millers) didn't prepare them well enough for an opponent having what it takes to spank them. Perhaps the coaches should drop those locals with inferior programs from their schedules so that they can better prepare to defeat equally talented opponents, or do the adults involved really believe that winning by ridiculous margins is best? Apparently people get embarrassed when it happens. FRANK SPROUSE Eugene |
