athletes typically walk on to the OStJ program and end up placing in the
conference championships and some even have qualified for the NCAA
championships.
The OStJ top 10 list has a number of athletes on it coached by Chriss.
Since his arrival at OSU, the women's hurdles top 10 list has been rewritten
several times.
Athletes coached by Chriss have received many of the track and field awards
presented at the conclusion of each season, including six most improved awards
and four most valuable awards.
Prior to joining the OSU program, Mike served as an assistant track coach
at Tigard High School and Sprague High School where he successfully coached
hurdlers tot he state championships. He has also served as a clinician with
foreign Olympic committees in third world countries working in camps with young
athletes and clinics for national coaches.

Medford, Oregon. He was a defensive back and running back in football and ran
hurdles for the Black Tornados and led Medford to the state track championshihp

and intermediate hurdles. He placed fifth in the junior national AAU
championshihps in the 110 meter high hurdles and fourth in the Golden West
Invitational in the 400 meter hurdles his senior year. He earned prep
All-America honors in both sports.
Mike attended the University of Oregon and played both football and ran
track for the Ducks. He was team captain of the football team where he was a
strong safety, and he competed as a hurdler and decathlete on the track team.
He graduated from Medford in 1974 and he earned his B.S. in Comprehensive
Health Education as a Pre-Physical Theray major from Oregon in 1979. Mike is
