Every year, hundreds of students from sixty small schools around Oregon ran at the Stayton Meet of Champions, but the front stretch of this small town running track had worn to cement. Nike's Geoff Hollister and five-time Olympian Willie Davenport dedicated the new Nike Grind track during the 2001 Twilight Meet. This summer, the Santiam Track Club will also enjoy the new track.
