The Oregon Sweep was the result of the 2008 United States Olympic Trials Men's 800 metres race. The Olympic Trials were held at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon. The city of Eugene bills itself as "Tracktown USA" for its fanatical support of the sport of track and field. The 800 metres event was once a strong event for Americans, with 7 Olympic gold medals up to 1956. Between 1956 and 2008, the United States has only managed Dave Wottle's 1972 gold medal, and four bronze medals by Tom Farrell in 1968, Rick Wohlhuter in 1976, Earl Jones in 1984 and Johnny Gray in 1992, increasing the value of success at the Olympic Trials. Eight years later, Clayton Murphy also won a bronze medal.
