Track and Field

It’s “go-time” for track and field athletes.  The Far West District meet begins today at Vic Adams Field in North Bend for the Siuslaw Vikings.  The Mapleton Sailors are in Blue River for the Mountain West meet.

The baseball Civil War will likely determine the outcome of the Pac-12 race.  Oregon State is in first with a half-game lead over Oregon.  The two teams meet this afternoon in Eugene for the first of a three game series.

Prep Baseball Playoffs

Siuslaw’s opponent in next week’s OSAA 4A playoffs won’t be determined until late tonight.  Six of the eight “play-in” games were contested yesterday, the other two games will be played today.  Once they’re completed, the seedings will be done as well.  The Far West League Champion Siuslaw Vikings… seeded #7… will play the #10 seed in Florence next Wednesday.

Rhody Run

As of Thursday there were more than 350 runners pre-registered for tomorrow’s 35th annual Rhody Run.  Organizers say that puts a record number of runners in reach when you factor in last minute entries.  Race day registration opens at 7 AM tomorrow at the Florence Events Center.  The starting gun for the five and ten Ks will sound at nine.
