The big picture of Oregon track right now is that the men have imploded and the women are surging.
Chile’s renown form chart now has the women forth in the nation …and only a scant half point behind third ranked Arkansas. There are three women 100m sprinters that aren’t at this point contributing much. Perhaps Oregon’s top young talent, Shana Grebo, though still competing and on the roster, is not competing for Oregon. This is still a bit of a mystery.
Yet, despite all of that, some women who are competing are excelling. There seems to be a competitive spirit among that core group that is turning into a raging fire.
The top track athlete for the men, Micah Williams, is rumored to be fighting a hamstring injury. . Nothing is definitive but he swings between not starting or not finishing races. The top men middle distance runners are either injured, redshirting or both. The men are almost certain to see their astounding 15 straight PAC 12 Championship streak end in May to Washington. It might even seem likely that the men won’t score a single point at Nationals.
So how is Oregon track doing? Well, the answer depends upon which Oregon track team we are talking about.
