A few weeks ago a blip hit our radar here at OregonPreps.com. The date was April 12th and it was emanating from the little town of Eagle Point, Oregon. It was coming from the Track meet at 203 N.

And tonight that Radar is going off again but this time it is quite a bit bigger event then a top rated 110 Meter Hurdle time.
