EUGENE, Ore. - Hazel Clark's track career started with a Slurpee run.

The younger sister of middle distance superstars Joetta and J.J. Clark, Hazel wanted nothing to do with running. She had no desire to be in the shadow of her older siblings, and instead spent all her time running in the other direction.

Joetta and J.J. wouldn't have it. When Hazel was 8, they decided to use some good, old-fashioned bribery.
