About the Bill Dellinger Invitational
Scheduled for Saturday, September 29 at Springfield Country Club near Springfield, the meet will start at 9:15 a.m., and will feature 30 of the top teams from across the nation in women’s 6,000- and men’s 8,000-meter races. A link to complete 2007 MEET COVERAGE (Results, Quotes, Race Recaps & Pictures) is available by clicking here. The race is named for legendary former UO men’s track and field coach Bill Dellinger. The Springfield, Ore., native and two-time NCAA champion for the Ducks was a three-time Olympian and 1964 bronze medalist in the 5,000 meters, and held two world indoor records and six American records. In cross country, he took pride in the fact that he never lost a race in high school, college or as a post-collegian. As the Oregon men's cross country head coach from 1968-1998, Dellinger guided the Ducks to four NCAA team titles among their 12 top-three NCAA finishes, along with 45 cross country All-America honors. His squads also stockpiled 13 conference and four district team victories, and Duck individuals scored eight Pac-8/10 championships and six regional crowns. | |||||||||||||
