The Hayward Field volunteer who suffered a heart attack on the track Saturday during the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships is expected to make a full recovery.

Dan Pritchard, a member of the hurdles crew, who had just loaded hurdles onto a cart after the women’s 400-meter hurdles event and was pushing them off the track about 7:30 p.m. Saturday when he collapsed.

He told Lookout Eugene-Springfield he expects to be discharged from the hospital today.

Vin Lananna, former University of Oregon director of track and field, now in the same position at the University of Virginia, was sitting in the front row of Section 113 and saw Pritchard receive chest compressions.

He was quickly loaded onto a stretcher and taken out of the stadium for transport to a local hospital.
