You sure the hell don't have your facts straight. Virgin did not leave Eugene "not on the best of terms".

The story below comes from McCloy's former coach, Ray Will. He is definitely taking liberties with what Virgin said but he says that the jist of it is accurate. Maybe some of you recall the race? It was the 84 Pepsi Relays in Oregon. Apparently, the meet still exists in some form-don't know whether they ever had any success in attempting to do a Penn or Drake West. McCloy still has the meet record. His best up until then was only 29:38 but someone got the 20 year old into the meet based on his success at the World X-C champs. Anyone who has seen Paul run will appreciate the story. Controlled mayhem. The fans also got behind the underdog-Tabb was in the race too-apparently they were not all that enamored with Virgin in any event because he left Eugene on not the best of terms. Hopefully my facts are reasonably accurate because I'm getting a lot of it second hand.
