On this episode of Steep Ravine, hosts Matt Wilkinson and Dave Frank sit down with legendary coach and former University of Oregon runner Pat Tyson. They cover his time as a teammate and roommate of Steve Prefontaine, the famous "Oregon system" of training, and stories from NCAA cross-country championships.

The conversation also explores Tyson’s coaching career — building exceptional high school programs at Shoreline and Mead, his long-term philosophy of consistency and belief, and his current work developing talent at Gonzaga as the team prepares for the track season and new conference challenges.
