UPDATE FROM GREG WALKER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON:<\/p>
\r\n
Hey all,Wanted to let you know that I learned late last night
\r\nthat Oregon State scratched most of the guys they had entered in the
\r\nTwilight Meet this Saturday<\/span>.
\r\n I believe they will still have a high jumper. Accepted entries will be
\r\nposted later today.Obviously, that means that the Civil War 100
\r\nwon't happen, as least not this weekend, which is too bad, as it would
\r\nhave been fun. Hopefully we will still see that sooner than later.I
\r\n do want to be extremely clear that the OSU players DID NOT back out of
\r\nthe meet; in fact most of them didn't even know they had been entered.
\r\nMy guess is that Kelly
\r\nSullivan<\/span> (OSU's women's coach) entered them in the meet a long
\r\ntime ago just in case those guys ended up running. And Kelly certainly
\r\nwas not trying to trick anyone with the entries; entering the football
\r\nguys in the meet was a prudent administrative procedure. As many of you
\r\ncan attest, it is much easier to enter someone in a meet and then later
\r\nscratch them, than to try and get someone in at the last minute.I
\r\n apologize for any false excitement or reports I might have fueled.Please
\r\n call\/e-mail if you have any questions.Thanks,Greg<\/p>","date_added":"Sep 2nd 2010, 1:09am","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":{"wally_id":"25","email_settings":"4294967295","email":"kevin@teamxo.com","address":"kevin","gender":"m","member_id":"6","member_name":"Kevin","avatar_location":"av-6.jpg","avatar_type":"upload","avatar":"\/\/www.runnerspace.com\/forum\/uploads\/av-6.jpg"},"can_delete":false,"item_id":10571,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"\/\/www.runnerspace.com\/forum\/uploads\/av-6.jpg","pb_title":"Kevin","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=6","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/kevin.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"25"}},"last_id":"82727","url":"comments.php?item_type=news&item_id=10571&item_url=eprofile.php?event_id=17"}
