Haley Crouser opens well; Curtis Taylor, Jill Steele promoted: Oregon track & field rundown

A couple things ...

-- It was nice to see a strong performance by Haley Crouser yesterday at the University of Texas San Antonio Invitational.

The former Gresham High star threw the javelin 168 feet, 8 inches to set a meet record and win the event by more than 50 feet.

She has thrown better. Crouser's mark of 181-2 was the high school and U.S. junior record for a while, and still is listed provisionally on the Track & Field News U.S, junior record page.

But it's been a rough few years for Crouser, who was in the University of Oregon program from 2013-15.
