EUGENE -- While I was otherwise occupied yesterday at the Prefontaine Classic, the No. 1-ranked Oregon women's track team sprung a leak at the NCAA West Regional in Austin, Texas.
Hard-luck sprinter Hannah Cunliffe wasn't on the start line.
Cunliffe advanced in the 100 heats on Thursday and had been expected to run in Friday's 100 qualifier. She also had been scheduled to run a first-round race in the 200 on Friday. Her absence means she didn't qualify for either race for the NCAA Championships, June 7-10 at Hayward Field.
It's unclear what is happening. The University of Oregon's release about about the day's events at Mike A.
