Why is it called this?
The legendary University of Oregon track coach, Bill Bowerman. (The little I know of him was from a movie about his work with Steve Prefontaine.) Bowerman not only co-founded Nike in the 60s, he and his fortune helped the Oregon Bach Festival (OBF) evolve into an internationally recognized music festival. Anyway, the Olympic track and field trials start here today, as you can see below.
We don't get to attend any of the opening festivities, though, as we have a performance in Portland.

One of the girls running in the 5000 meter semi-finals is from here in Elmira! Small world.
