Repairs to Hayward Field
begin
Work has begun to repair deteriorating support beams under the east grandstands of Hayward Field and should be completed in time for the start of the Oregon’s spring track and field season, Athletic Director Bill Moos announced Thursday.
The project will restore use of the entire grandstands on the east side of one of the most renowned track facilities in the world. The University spent approximately $100,000 last winter for temporary repairs to retain use of the majority of the east grandstands throughout the 2001 track season.
Lee Construction of Eugene provided the winning bid for the restoration, which will cost about $300,000.
The project was originally expected to cost the University more than $1 million.
Arizona signs basketball standouts
TUCSON, Ariz. (U-WIRE) — Though no games were played, the Arizona men’s basketball team had a pretty productive week.
Days removed from winning the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic in New York, head coach Lute Olson got some more good news — Hassan Adams from Los Angeles and Chris Rodgers of Portland signed letters of intent to play for the Wildcats.
“Both of these guys will fit in beautifully here at Arizona,” Olson said. “They are great kids; they work hard and are very solid students.”
Rodgers and Adams, both 6-foot-4 guards, have been highly touted by national publications.
The Sporting News ranked Adams as the sixth-best high school shooting guard in the country and Rodgers the fourth-best point guard.
