GOING THE DISTANCENot satisfied with just one Olympic Trials’ victory, Galen Rupp again takes first place, eking out a win in the 5,000 meters

jeff matarrese PHOTO EDITORGalen Rupp took his second long-distance win when he squeezed out first place in the 5,000 meters Thursday night; he also won the 10,000 meters last week on Friday. Bernard Lagat (left) was edged out of first, while Lopez Lomong came in third.

DAviD liEbErmAnsPorts editor

During his illustrious career at the University of Oregon, Galen Rupp often found himself in Steve Prefontaine’s pro-verbial shadow. Thursday night, Rupp one-upped the legend, breaking his Olympic-Trials record in the 5,000 meters in front of the largest crowd in Hayward Field history.

“To hear that I got the record, that’s unreal,” Rupp said after the race. “Anytime you’re mentioned in the same breath as Steve Prefontaine, it’s a huge compliment. I was thrilled to be able to do that, but more thrilled just to get on the team and have a good run at the Trials.”

Bernard Lagat finished in second (13:22.82), followed by Lopez Lomong in third (13:24.47). Those three will represent Team USA in the 5,000 meters in London.

Coming into the race, that trio of elite competitors was fully expected to vie for men’s 5K title. While the three did predict-ably battle down the homestretch, the manner in which the last few hundred meters unfolded was anything but typical.

Early on in the race, long-shot Mohamed Trafeh — who needed an aggressive effort in order to achieve the Olympic “A” standard and join Team USA — seized a commanding lead. With around 3,000 meters remaining, Trafeh had amassed a sizable advantage, positioning himself a solid 15 meters ahead of the pack.

Yet with two laps remaining, it was Lagat, Lomong and Rupp that stole the show. The three surged to the lead at a breakneck pace, shifting into a new gear as 22,602 fans stood and cheered on Rupp, their hometown hero.

“This is one of the only places in the country, possibly the

world, where you’re gonna get that reception for the 5,000,” Rupp said. “That’s what makes this place special. They love their distance races here.”

With 400 meters to go, Rupp moved into the lead, electrifying the crowd. Their collective joy would be short lived, as Lagat — a Kenyan-American and five-time Olympic medalist — responded accordingly by making an aggressive move as the pair rounded Bowerman’s Curve.

With Rupp fading and Lagat bursting into the lead, Hayward Field let out a collective sigh. Rupp’s traditional weak point is his speed down the homestretch, while Lagat is known as a deadly closer.

“Normally, (finishing) is my strength,” Lagat said. “But I feel like today was a little different … Normally, I’m the guy who sits back, but I guess I used a little more than I usually reserve for the last kick. It was a learning process.”

With less than 50 meters remaining and the crowd in a frenzy, Rupp kicked to regain the lead from Lagat. He clung to that advantage across the finish line, showing uncharacteristic emotion as he broke Prefontaine’s record and won his second event of the 2012 Olympic Trials.

“A win is a win, whether you go from the front or kicking down the homestretch,” Rupp said. “It’s finding a way. I was definitely happy with the way that it went. I know a weak point of my running has been my finishing speed, and we’ve been working on that a really long time. It’s gratifying for me to see it come to fruition.”

Though Rupp’s newly found burst proved to be a valuable asset at the Trials, he said it was mostly meant to give him an edge later this summer.

“I know that in London, I’m going to have to beat people

the last 100 (meters),” Rupp said. “Alberto (Salazar) told me beforehand, ‘You could probably go earlier, play it safe. But you know what, you’re going to have to beat people on the last lap, the last 100 specifically, in London.’”

Rupp’s victory is historical in more than one way; in addition to breaking Prefontaine’s 40-year-old Trials record, Rupp became first man to complete the 5,000-10,000 double at U.S. Olympic Trials since Curtis Stone in 1952.

After the race, Lomong expressed profound appreciation for Rupp’s feats over the past two weeks.

“From here, everything is going to be good for Galen,” said Lomong, who won a silver medal in the 5K at the 2007 IAAF World Championships in Osaka. “He has a good group of peo-ple before him, he has a great coach in Albertzo Salazar. What we are going to see for Galen is that he belongs at the top. We are going there as a team, and whoever brings home the gold medal, or whatever medal, that is going to be our mission.”

In 2008, Lagat won both 1,500 and 5,000 meters at the Trials, but came up short on expectations in Beijing. He failed to reach the finals in the 1,500 and placed ninth in the 5K. He later admitted that an injury to his Achilles’ tendon signifi-cantly limited his performance.

Both Lagat and Lomong represent serious threats to reach the podium in London, but Thursday night belonged to Rupp. His groundbreaking performance on hallowed ground adds yet another chapter to Hayward Field lore and etches another entry onto Oregon’s expansive distance-running pedigree.

“I’m really glad to be a part of the program, to be able to finish it off running here at the Trials at my own track,” Rupp said. “I couldn’t be any luckier.”dlieberman@dailyemerald.com

turner maxwell FREELANCE REPORTERA bartender at Ninkasi Brewery in the Whiteaker district of Eugene serves customers one of the several beers on tap. Ninkasi is a relatively new brewery, but has quickly become one of the more popular beer choices for Pacific Northwest customers.

Known locally as the ‘Whit,’ this area is full of delightful locales, from Sweet Life Patisserie to Ninkasi Brewerydashiell paulson

news reporter

Locals call it the “Whit” and for many years, it was one of Eugene’s less desirable areas. But in the last decade, the Whiteaker district in Eugene has gone through a renaissance.

Bordered by 6th Avenue to the south and River Road to the west, some of Eugene’s most successful and enterprising businesses, have gotten started in the Whit, including the famous local brewery Ninkasi. For visitors to the Whit, the most immediately attractive features include the food offered and the drinks on tap.

Ninkasi Brewery

Ninkasi beers have become a national success in just a few years. Their famous IPAs and stouts are now common fare in the Northwest and beyond. The brewery is located at 272 Van Buren St.

The tasting room, where samples and food are in generous supply, is open every day of the week from noon until the late evening.

According to the company’s website, Ninkasi shares “the ancient Sumerian belief that beer is an important and valued part of civilization.” It’s certainly become one of the most important and valued institutions in the Whit. The brewery recently sponsored a neighborhood cleanup effort to get the

district in shape for the 2012 Olympic Trials.

Laughing Planet Café

With locations around Oregon, the Laughing Planet at 760 Blair Blvd. specializes in delivering inventive burritos, bowls, soups, salads, smoothies and juices. Laughing Planet has racked up awards in the community for their food and service. For two years, they’ve taken the Eugene Weekly’s “Best Place to Take Kids” award.

Jared Mackey, an assistant manager at Laughing Planet, described her impression of the restaurant.

“We offer fast, healthy, affordable food,” Mackey said. “With vegan and gluten free options.”

Mackey continued to say that Laughing Planet is the perfect place for anyone with dietary restrictions.

Sweet Life Patisserie

There aren’t many places as fine to take your sweetheart as Sweet Life. The shop at 755 Monroe St. (and brief walk from Laughing Planet) is filled with irresistible desserts. Every-one can find something to like here: cakes, torts, pies, cook-ies, éclairs, cupcakes, chocolate bars, pastries and gelato are all available in numerous flavors and there are a host of vegan and gluten-free options.

Aaron Caldwell has been the manager for three and half years.

“It’s a place where you come with your significant other or

family,” Caldwell said. “It’s really laid-back.”Caldwell expressed a great fondness for the Whit, where

Sweet Life is thriving.“We get a great cross-section of people from all over

Eugene,” Caldwell said. He went on to explain that the success of different businesses in the Whit brought in more business for all the others thanks to a close proximity.

“The Whit is a real hub,” Caldwell said.

Pizza Research Institute

One of the most original restaurants in the Whit and Eugene is the Pizza Research Institute, which bakes some of the most delicious and unusual pizzas you’ll ever see.

Isaiah Boise is a son of the owners. He’s proud of the business his family has built.

“We’re a long-running vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Eugene, family owned and operated,” Boise said. “We sell pizza and various salads and appetizers, all made in house.”

To get a sense of what kind of pizza choices are available, one of the most popular menu items is a pizza made with pears, potatoes, and pesto. No cheese.

New pizza flavors are innovated all the time.“I created a special that will be added to the menu soon,”

Boise said. “It’s broccoli, pesto, smoked gouda cheese. I make it for myself all the time.”dpaulson@dailyemerald.com

Corner bakery offers coffee, pastries to Hayward crowd

dash paulsonnews reporter

Step past Prince Puckler’s Ice Cream on 19th Avenue and Agate and step next door into Eugene City Bakery. Shelves of freshly baked bread, rows of pastries and piles of cookies are accompanied by the soft sound of Bob Dylan playing “Mr. Tambourine Man.”

“I think it’s really lovely during the morning to sit out on the patio.” says Whitney Price, a barista working at the bakery.

“We strive to be as organic and local as possible,” Price says, touching on a popular selling point for many Eugene businesses. “We have different people

who focus on different food here so the dessert guy makes desserts and the bread maker makes bread.”

The bakery has a breakfast menu, seasonal specials and a bread of the day.

On the menu, there are dozens of fresh meals including pizza, quiche, pie, sandwiches, croissants and even dog treats.

Along with classic treats like lemon meringue pie, the bakery serves confections including Heritage turtle bars, carrot cake cookies and the very popular

Date Oat Walnut bars. There are options for meat eaters, vegans and everyone in between.

The bakery is similar to Espresso Roma near The Duck Store, with a much wider selection of food and baked goods, but less to offer in terms of coffee.

For a good meal or sweet desert, Eugene City Bakery is close to Hayward Field and an excellent example of local quality food in Eugene. Stop by anytime — the bakery is open everyday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

USA Track & Field umpires Carol and Jim McLatchie never stopped running and helping when they finished their running careers. Jim McLatchie is one of the many local unknown legends within the running world.

From having coached three-time British Olympian Justin Chaston in the steeple-chase to currently coaching teenagers with his wife at Summit High School in Bend, Ore., he has and continues to do a lot for the sport of track and field.

“I never get paid for coaching, I just volunteer out of hobby,” Jim said.

He was born in 1941 in Muirkirk, Scotland. After win-ning a national cross country championship in Scotland in 1963, he came to the U.S. on an athletics scholarship from Lamar University in Beau-mont, Texas. That same year, Jim placed second in the U.S. Cross Country Championship behind the one-mile world record holder at the time, Tom O’Hara.

“I was leading the race till the last 100 meters,” Jim said, “and I thought ‘Well, I got it,’ and Tom O’Hara got me in the last 20 meters.”

In 1975, he moved to Houston and started the Houston Harriers running club. The club was made to provide post-college runners with an avenue for formal training and competition. Jim has coached seven world champions (including his wife) and several Olympians.

“Then I just started coaching, more energy in that,” he said. “My running suffered because it’s tough to coach a lot of kids and run at the same time.”

His wife, Carol, met him in 1979 when she was getting more involved with running in Houston. She noticed the club’s success and wanted to be a part of it.

“I spotted him and saw how well all his athletes were doing and asked him to coach me,” she said.

Carol went on to become the 1988 U.S. 10,000-meter national champion, qualified at that distance for the 1988 Olympic Trials and qualified for the Olympic Trials mara-thon three separate times. She was one of the athletes in the first-ever women’s Olym-pic Trials marathon in 1984, where she placed twelfth.

When she moved into the Masters competition, she con-tinued to succeed. She won two world championships in the 5,000 and held the previ-ous American 30 km record at 1 hour, 54 minutes.

The McLatchies stay involved with track and field

by volunteering as coaches at Summit High School. Having these two elite runners on s ta f f , the high school’s track team has done fairly well in the year they’ve been volunteered there.

“We’ve won the state meet the last six years,” Jim said.

Along with volunteering as high school coaches, the McLatchies volunteer as US-ATF officials. Jim has been volunteering as an USATF officials official for 50 years, and Carol has been for 32 years. They are both USATF certified umpires. Their job is to watch the track meets and make sure everyone has a fair field of play.

“We’re like deterrents — (the athletes) know we’re there,” Carol said. “We keep it fair.”

Even though they are the eyes on the field, they don’t have the final say. Their calls have to be written up and reviewed by other officials and by the Eagle Eye camera recording the races.

“We’re just part of the series, we don’t individually have the power,” she said.

“If we see something, we have to respond,” Jim said.

Being an official means you must be fair to every-one, he said. The Univer-sity of Oregon women’s 4×100-meter team didn’t make it to the NCAA Cham-pionships last year because one of the runners stepped out of hand-off zone. Jim was the umpire at that particular

transition zone.

“The girl that did it came up and said to me ‘You caught me,’ and I said ‘You were two yards out of the zone.’ She said ‘You’re right, I was,’” Jim said. “I mean when you’re seeing it, you don’t see who it is — you see they’re past the zone, and you raise the flag.”

After seeing the crowd getting on Jim for the call, for-mer world record-holder in the decathlon, Dan O’Brien, joked with Jim a few weeks after the disqualification at another meet.

“The funny thing about that one was, (O’Brien) was doing some commentary in the in-field,” Jim said, “and he come up to me and said ‘McLatchie,

I’ll give you a hundred dollars if you keep the flag down.”

Carol enjoys working with Jim and the officials on the field.

“It’s fun,” Carol said. “Since he coached me, he’s an awesome mentor. Our group of umpires here (have) a total wealth of knowledge; it’s fun to hang with him and them.”

Carol and Jim love officiating, and they wanted to give back to the sport they’ve been a part of for so long.

“We’ve always been doing something,” Jim said. “And if somebody needs help, we pitch in.”

Twenty of the top high school athletes from across the country will take to the Hayward Field track on Fri-day for an exhibition mile race as part of the Nike Elite running camp.

Elite high school runners from 11 different states will

compete in the final two events before the national an-them on Friday with the girls racing at 2:35 p.m. and the boys racing ten minutes later.

The field includes state champions from across the country and represents some of the fastest high school run-ners in the nation.

Runners are entering either 11th or 12th grade in the fall, though some are only beginning their tenth grade seasons.

The race represents the mandatory competitive as-

pects of high school camps sponsored by shoe compa-nies.

For its first two years of existence the Nike Elite camp has staged a 5k near the Nike campus in Beaverton, but with the Olympic Trials being staged in Eugene, organizers opted to hold the exhibition race at Hayward.

While the race has no championship ramifications, Nike’s Andrew Haberkorn told ESPN in June that he ex-pects competitive instincts to take over with thousands

of spectators cheering the competitors on.

Among the competitors in the boys’ field is Jacob Burcham, who won the New Balance Outdoor Nationals mile race in June with a time of 4:08.80.

Also running in the field are Cody Brazeal, Josh Brick-ell, Andrew Gardner, Blake Haney, Josh Leingang, Ben Malone, Sean McGorty and Nick Ryan. In the girls’ race, twins Haley and Hannah Meir will join Alexa Efraimson, Jillian Fanning, Erin Finn,

Wesley Frazier, Dominque Hiltz, Katie Knight and Amy-Eloise Neale.

Haney and Brazeal ran

against each other in the 1,600-meter finals of the Cali-fornia state championships, finishing third and fourth with Haney edging Brazeal for the final podium spot by less than a second.

Most competitors in the field in both races have posted sub-f ive minute times this year in either the mile or 1,600 meters with Burcham’s time setting the bar high for the rest of the boys’ pack.

women’s 1,500 meters (prelim)

It’s safe to say that the women from Heat 2 of the 1,500m dominated the event Thursday afternoon as the top nine finishers ran faster than the rest of the heats overall. Morgan Uceny finished first with a time of 4:14.07. Second and third place of the event were Gabriele Anderson and Katherine Mackey with times of 4:14.23 and 4:14.28, respec-tively. University of Oregon star Jordan Hasay placed fourth in her heat and thirteenth overall by posting a 4:16.06. Luckily she had previously met the “A” standard, and would move on to the semifinals. Hasay praised the support that she received from Duck fans.

“It’s exciting to have the whole town behind me,” she said. “It’s an honor to be out there representing Oregon.”

men’s steeplechase (final)

First-place finisher Evan Jager, a crowd favorite and member of Oregon Track Club Elite, won with a time of 8:17.40. Donald Cabral and Kyle Alcorn, both of whom are also sponsored by Nike, finished in second and third place with times of 8:19.81 and 8:22.17, respectively.

men’s discus throw (final)

Lance Brooks, Jarred Rome and Jason Young will represent the USA in London in the men’s discus throw later this summer. All three qualifiers made their best

throw of the day during the final round. Brooks, who converted four of his six throws without fouling, posted the top four dis-tances of the day. His top throw went a distance of 65.15 meters. Rome’s best throw was 63.35

meters and Young’s 62.15 meters.

men’s pole vaultDespite his first-place

finish and his qualification for the Summer Games, Brad Walker wasn’t happy with

his performance.“I’m not happy with the

height, but I’m happy with the win, and the win is more impor-tant than the height,” he said.

Walker cleared a height of 5.67 meters. He will be joined in

London by Jeremy Scott and Derek Miles. Scott Ruth took third place, but couldn’t qualify because he never met the Olym-pic “A” standard. Scott and Miles both cleared 5.60 meters.sports@dailyemerald.com
