Oregon sophomore pole vaulter Tommy Skipper will be sidelined for an estimated 4-6 weeks during the outdoor track and field season after undergoing successful knee surgery last week. The Sandy native
underwent an arthoscopic procedure March 21 to repair a small tear in the medial meniscus in his left knee. According to doctors, the procedure went well. The injury occurred in mid-February, though Skipper opted to compete in three meets afterward, capturing two titles and a second place finish in the process. The two-time NCAA champion hopes to return to competition by early May.
