The 2021 U.S. Olympic Team Trials will take place from June 18 to 27 at Hayward Field. It has earned worldwide acclaim in the sport of track and field and it attracts the greatest athletes in the globe thanks to its long and hallowed history.

The tower at Hayward Field stands 10 stories and 188 feet eight inches tall, and it depicts images of such icons as coach Bill Bowerman, long-distance running legend Steve Prefontaine, Raevyn Rogers, Ashton Eaton, and Otis Davis. These iconic track and field stars represent 22 NCAA Championships, four Olympic gold medals, and two The Bowerman Award recipients. The tower is already a campus landmark with perennial visual elegance.

Speaking of Bill Bowerman, his statue stands in the corner of the facility with a watch and a movie camera in his hand. He oversees the venue and remains a spiritual inspiration to the Oregon track and field programs.
