Eugene’s recently renovated Hayward Field is likely the spiritual home for American outdoor track and field. The University of Oregon-based venue will host this year’s U.S. Olympic team trials, and it regularly brings track and field meets of nearly similar importance to the city, including the NCAA Division I championships. It staged three USA Track & Field category national championships last year. — B.M.
