Those meets were held in order to raise funds to repair the deteriorating West Grandstands at Hayward Field.
The Bowerman Classic was the original name for the Prefontaine Classic. It was originally named in honor of the legendary University of Oregon track coach, Bill Bowerman. Following the unexpected death of Steve Prefontaine, Bowerman urged the Oregon Track Club to change the name of the event in order to honor Prefontaine. The event is typically held over the course of a weekend. Sprints of 100 and 200 meters are included as well as long-distance races of up to two miles. Field events like the javelin and shot put are also featured throughout the weekend.
