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.

Re: Andy and Maurica Powell to head UW program
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.
