Here is the write up from the UO AD website. Click on the link below. I want to make just one note. One of the great side aspects of track has to do with the relativity of achievement. It goes beyond winning when someone performs beyond their perceived abilities, no matter where they might finish. Today, as in the women's cross country NCAA championships, we once again witnessed such an effort and accomplishment by Sheldon High School graduate Maggie Schamaedick.
Perhaps the best women's distance runner in college is Colorado's Erin Clark. Erin is also from Eugene. She ran for South Eugene when Maggie was at Sheldon. Although Maggie finished second to Erin today, she had the race of her life. Maggie was not expected to make the NCAA championships, but to her credit, she will be going dancing. Congratulations Maggie...you have added luster to your university's storied track legacy!
