USATF Juniors: Oregon bound soon

We leave on Wednesday afternoon for TrackTown USA for the USATF Junior Championships, where Dietrich Mosel will compete in the 10,000-meter run on Saturday. With USATF (Senior) National Championships there, Deet is very much looking forward to watching the pros race for a few days at Hayward Field, before he takes to the track himself for 25 scorching laps. I say “scorching” because record heat is forecast for Eugene for later in the week – approaching 100 degrees. This is far from ideal weather for 25 laps on the track, much less anything else. If the forecast holds up, it will be the third consecutive year that our athletes will have to deal with hot conditions – 2013 in Des Moines, 2014 in Eugene and this year back at Hayward.
