Andy and Maurica Powell to head UW program

Post by greenyellow »

Oregon TF took a big hit today when they lost Andy and Maurica Powell to UW, as Maurica was named the director of TF and cross country while Andy was named head track & field and cross country coach. They'll need to make the right hire, otherwise the distance program may suffer like it did before Lananna took over.

Very interesting. Weird to think that UW might actually be taking track and field seriously.

Agree, very important that the Ducks make a great hire here which -- with Oregon's distance tradition and Vin and Uncle Phil around -- you'd sure think they'd be able to do.

I would think being "Track Town USA" would be a huge draw for any coach. Then you have the facilities and Phil....... not to mention the attention on the top recruits in the nation and beyond.
