Who’s Who in Oregon High School Track & Field and Cross Country

photo of track shoes

Published continuously since 1965, Who’s Who has reported on statewide high school Track & Field and Cross Country in Oregon, offering championship results, maintenance of state record lists, data, analysis and historical perspective.  Now in its 61st year, if there is any statistic you want to know pertaining to competition throughout the state, the odds are contributors to Who’s Who have already researched into and documented it.   Since the first edition, Who's Who has published in print at least 69 periodicals, 61 of which being comprehensive annual editions.
The staff who put this together – volunteers all – are kind of the unofficial yet definitive historians for these two high school sports in Oregon.
