FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – April 1, 2008

Eugene, Oregon – By:  Mark Rinker – OTCelite.com.  OTC Elite will head south at the end of the week for the first major early season test, the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, California.  The Stanford Invitational will be held at the Cobb Track and Angell Field on April 4th and 5th on the campus of Stanford University.

The early season event will allow several athletes to compete in events outside of their specialty.  OTC Elite team member, 800 meter specialist, Matt Scherer will race the 400 at Stanford.  Scherer the 2006 Pac-10 400 meter champion while at the University of Oregon holds a lifetime best of 45.19. 

The 1,500 meters will have a strong OTC Elite presence, with several 800 meter specialists moving up a distance.  OTC Elite’s entrants include Elliott Blount, Kevin Elliott, Brandon Shaw and Christian Smith.  While this group is considered mostly 800 meter specialists they all have solid credentials in the mile/1,500.  Blount was the 273rd American under 4 minutes in the mile and holds a personal best of 3:59.61.  Brandon Shaw holds a 1,500 personal best of 3:45.51.  Christian Smith is also no stranger to the longer race; he was the 2006 NCAA Indoor Mile Champion.

Even with the 800 meter core depleted, OTC Elite will still line up some of the best 800 meter runners in the country at Stanford.  The group will be led by 2005 USA Indoor 800 Meter Champion Kevin Hicks.  Racing alongside Hicks will be Dustin Emrani and Adam Steele.

OTC Elite will also compete in the men’s 4x400 relay at Stanford.  The relay team will be decided at the conclusion of individual events, however the relay pool includes Adam Steele, the 2003 NCAA 400 meter Champion, Matt Scherer, Kevin Hicks, Dustin Emrani, Elliott Blount, Kevin Elliott and Brandon Shaw.
