What makes Eugene Track Town?
Where else would several hundred people gather once a month for TtrackTown Tuesday meetings that are a celebration of the sport?
TrackTown Tuesday is part booster meeting, part meet-and-greet and part cultural touchstone.
The April TrackTown Tuesday -- 7 p.m., April 3, Eugene's Downtown Athletic Club -- features University of Oregon mid-distance runner Sabrina Southerland and the UO women's distance medley relay. Both won NCAA indoor titles.
Nelson Farris and Jeff Johnson, who got in on the ground floor of Nike, both will be there. So will Justin Gallegos, an Oregon club team member who has pursued his dream of being a runner at the college level despite cerebral palsy.
