I think he is scared of Scott Roth. Roth almost beat him at the last meet.

Locals enter national meet
Published: Thursday, February 22, 2007
Oregon's Tommy Skipper, eight members of Oregon Track Club Elite, three Team XO competitors and two former Ducks are all scheduled to compete at the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Boston this weekend.
The two-day meet begins Friday with the men's weight throw and ends Saturday with the men's 60 meters.
Skipper, a four-time NCAA pole vault champion, indoors and outdoors, comes into the meet with a season-best mark of 18 feet, 1/2 inch, which is tied for second among collegians. He last competed at the U.S. indoor meet as a sophomore in 2005, placing second behind Brad Walker.

Does Oregon have a chance at winning the conference title? If not then I understand him not competing in the meet as a Senior.

I heard UW's men are the favorites. I don't know what the actual projection looks like.
