EUGENE, Ore. -- That Eugene has hosted the U.S. Olympic track and field trials more times than any other city is not surprising. What is shocking is that this year's trials are the first held here since 1980, more than a quarter-century ago.

Not to demean any other city, but where would you want to hold America's most important track meet, other than the city that calls itself "Track Town, USA" and gave rise to Steve Prefontaine and Nike?
