Oregon Preview Meet - Eugene, 11 March
2000
Women's 3000m steeple race canceled
Message 8 March 2000 from Liz Howell, University of Oregon: "We had to
[cancel] just yesterday ... There were only three women entered ... and we felt
the quality of competition would not be adequate for the athletes. We
honestly expected many more community college and unattached athletes (and even
some of our own) to enter but this was not the case. Many of the same women
coming this weekend to Oregon ran the steeple last weekend at
Linfield and perhaps this had an effect..."
-------
Note: Record conditions, needed to qualify for nationals, include a minimum of
three participants. Races with two-runners fail to qualify. We don't report
results of "races" showing only one runner.

Schedule:
Two more races possible:
