| US Open to be named in honor of legendary Stanford coach | |

|
|
For eight decades Payton Jordan
has devoted his life to the sport of track and field. In honor of his
outstanding achievements and contributions, the US Open track meet at
Stanford was named in his honor. The first "Payton Jordan US Open" was held
at 11:30am on Memorial Day, May 31, 2004. During his 23 years as Stanford's coach (1957-1979), Coach Jordan produced seven Olympians, six world record holders and six national champions. In the height of the Cold War, he was meet director of the 1962 USA vs. USSR dual meet, which drew over 150,000 fans to the two-day event. Coach also brought the 1960 U.S. Olympic Trials to Stanford and was Head Coach of the 1968 U.S. Olympic Team. Coach Jordan turned 87 on March 19th. Since its inception in 2000, the US Open has established itself as a premier stop on the international tour. More than 75 Olympians from dozens of countries have competed at the event. Just as in previous years, a free Youth Clinic was held at the track preceding the meet. |
