Isaac Updike ran the steeplechase for the first time in 2011, when he was a college freshman at Eastern Oregon University. When the team was doing hurdle mobility drills, his coach plucked out a few who looked at ease and steered them toward the steeple.
Updike was among them. In his first attempt at the event, at the Northwest Nazarene Open in Nampa, Idaho, he ran 9:46.05 an underwhelming result that would have put him about a lap behind the best runners in the NCAA.
A decade later, on April 24, Updike ran the steeplechase at the Oregon Relays at the new Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. With the television cameras rolling for the meet broadcast on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), he ran 8:17.74, including a final lap in 59.13 seconds, and won by a couple of steps over Mason Ferlic. It’s the fastest time in the world so far this year and under the Olympic standard (8:22.00).
Strides for Social Justice launches fifth route Tuesday, April 27, 2021 4:07 PM More information is available at stridesforsocialjustice.org.

The three-mile-round-trip Skinner Butte begins in downtown Eugene, at 10th Avenue and Oak Street, then heads north to the top of 682-foot-tall Skinner Butte.
Along the way, participants learn about exclusion laws that prohibited Blacks from owning property, residing in or even entering Oregon until 1926; the proliferation of Ku Klux Klan chapters here; and a 1924 Klan parade through downtown Eugene culminating in fireworks and a cross burning atop Skinner Butte that “cast a reddish glow over the town,” according to the daily newspa
