With many fans actually on the track ringing the race, Oregon's 4xMile relay team set the collegiate record Saturday in the Oregon Twilight track and field meet.
The fans cheered Oregon anchor Galen Rupp to a split of 3:58.3, and the Ducks finished in 16:03.24.
That bettered the mark of 16:04.54 that had been set by Michigan in 2005.
I've always liked track and field. At UCLA, home events drew few people, so I was shocked and delighted when I came to Oregon for grad school and discovered that track events drew thousands of fans.
