To distance runners, the University of Oregon's Hayward Field track is what Madison Square Garden is to basketball players. It's the mecca of the sport, the place where runners dream of lining up in the same spot where Steve Prefontaine made himself a legend.
To Syracuse Orange standouts Margo Malone and Shaylyn Tuite, Hayward Field is indeed a special place, but the duo is focused more on the task in front of them- taking home All-America honors. Margo and Shalyn are two of the seven Orange track and field athletes who qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships, which will be contested this week.
