There is a future for U.S. Track & Field -- maybe.
The possibilities have been evident in the first three of four indoor meets at Portland's House of Track, the warehouse on NW Front Ave where TrackTown USA organizers have set up the track to be used in March for the USA Track & Field and World Indoor Championships.
The series concludes next Friday. Here is the tentative schedule of events.
The overall level of competition in the first three meets has been spotty, although there have been outstanding performances by world-class athletes such as Matthew Centrowitz, Shannon Rowbury, Jenna Prandini, Andrew Wheating, Paul Chelimo, Galen Rupp and Brenda Martinez.
