Lananna also points to the small army of 1, community volunteers who mobilized to do the grunt work at this year's Olympic trials out of civic pride and a sheer love of the sport.
Here is where the plot thickens. Because for a period before , there were few volunteers and no spectacles like the U. Olympic trials. This is where Lananna comes in, and Lananna doesn't come cheap. He has both a house in Eugene and a condominium in Portland's upscale Pearl District.
But Lananna also carries an associate athletic director's title, and his job description includes overseeing major meets such as the Olympic trials, a burden Holloway and Henry aren't expected to shoulder. That's a lot of red ink.
But this isn't about turning a profit. Lananna's job is two-fold: to win and make the sport relevant -- locally, for sure, nationally if possible. Eugene landed the Olympic trials soon after he was hired in Gallery: 'Track Town' Eugene preps for U. Olympic Trials. Salazar also isn't merely a coach. A former marathon world record-holder and three-time winner of the New York Marathon, Salazar has a building named for him at Nike World Headquarters.
He has a lot of juice within the company. Smith had built a successful program, but didn't base his team on the UO mid-distance and distance tradition, and was disinclined to hold marquee meets at Hayward Field.
Salazar also was involved in replacing Smith with Lananna, who had a left a successful track and field program at Stanford to become athletic director at Oberlin College.
Getting somebody with those abilities was going to be expensive. Knight is the power that matters most at Nike, and his attachment to UO track and field is deep.
