Happy Mother's Day!Call your mother!
Our coast trip is next Sunday, maybe...details below!
Four of our fastest runners competed strongly in the West Coast Invitational yesterday in Salem. We got three lifetime bests, a Club record, and a personal second-best. Read below.
The Club will meet every school day until graduation at 3pm on the intramural field. Come on out for a relaxed run.
Andrew and Mark in a match race mile on the road? Matt Auer in a 50km trail run? The return of Chelsea Oda?
BBQ in late May?
The day trip to the Oregon Coast MIGHT be next Sunday, May 20. If it happens, we will leave from my house at 11:30am. We would be gone all day...plan your studying accordingly.
We would take two vans, so there would be a 24-person limit. You would bring snacks and pay for your dinner at Mo’s in Florence on the way home.
If we can firm up the vans and trip, I’ll email you in the next couple days. After that, the first 24 to sign up get the spots in the vans.
More soon.

We had three guys in the night-time B 1500m and they all ran lifetime bests. Casey Campbell went out with the leaders and pace-setter. He hung with the group and sprinted up for second place in a field of 11, running a Club record 3:54.98. Trent Warren and Rob McLauchlan stayed off the pace and flew at the end, Trent in a PR 3:56.27 and Rob in 4:01.51, also a lifetime best.
Casey jumped ahead of Nick Johnson and Carlos Trujillo to the top of our Club’s all-time list! Trent is now #4. Rob is #7.
Jaclyn Rushing ran the B 5000m which started at 5:50pm in full sunshine and high temperatures. The goal was to survive and compete. Jaclyn got seventh in a field of 13, running her second-fastest time ever, 19:17.92.
You all did great out there, competing among NCAA Division I teams!

Monday through Friday: 3:00pm -- meet on the intramural field for a relaxed run, maybe some abs and strides...plus chatter and sun.
Last Thursday, Chelsea Oda was the first female finisher in the OTC Running Series race #3, a 5km cross country race on Pre’s Trail. She ran a surprising 19:11. Kyle Lynch-Klarup went back to 5km, the only distance he’s raced this year other than the Eugene Marathon. He was 10th male in 19:10.
Matt Auer yesterday ran the McDonald Forest 50km ultramarathon trail run in 5:41:51. He finished 69th in a field of 238 runners. The race was on a wicked, hilly course outside of Corvallis. Five hours of running!
Here are the official results of the match race, a road mile this morning at the Re-Run Run in Alton Baker Park:
1. Mark McLauchlan 5:58
2. Andrew Logan 6:04
Actually, the race was 1.19 miles, so they ran a 5:02 mile, then kept going for more than 300 meters. Mark and Andrew were the only two entrants. Good running!

UO Running Club provides the opportunity for students to get together to run, train and race. Most of our sessions are steady runs. A couple of days each week we offer harder training sessions (intervals, repetitions, hills, tempo runs, cruise intervals).
The club is coached by Tom Heinonen, a member of the US Track and Field and Cross Country Hall of Fame who coached the University of Oregon women for nearly three decades. In his time coaching the women, he transformed the team from a brand new program into a NCAA powerhouse. He retired in 2003 to start the club and has been coaching it since.
In the Fall, we compete in collegiate cross country races throughout Oregon, then finish our season at the NIRCA Championships, where we face other college clubs. In the Spring, we enter in collegiate track meets. Several of our runners earn the opportunity to race at Hayward Field throughout the year. There are road races throughout the year.
We have a wide range of talent and commitment levels, from recreational runners to All-Americans.
Club members receive an e-mailed workout schedule for the following week every Sunday. There is no fee to join the club.
All running sessions are optional. To join, just show up to one of the practices or contact one of us.
The Running Club is a great way to get together with students and to enjoy running!
