#1 I loved seeing the team so enthusiastic, especially after the win. It shows that they still want to win, and they have never given up trying to win. That says something positive about both the young men and the staff that recruited and coaches them

#2 Although the stadium wasn't sold out, it was a good crowd. The fans that were there were enthusiastic. I was impressed to see so many unspoiled Duck fans that came out to support the team and school that they love.

Was lazy this year and didn't get a pumpkin, but here is a throwback to last years carving:

Guess people don't have much to say when the team wins. Plenty of crickets.

Still have a TON to work on and improve but nice to get a win and have some of the underclassmen be a major reason why.

Hey Ram,

Thanks for the recruiting updates.

Do you have any idea how the other top track and field teams are doing in recruiting?

Are we dominating this class or are all of the top schools getting theirs too?

Thanks,

Corey

Lauren is the top sprinter among high school girls...top in both the 100 and 200. In fact she is so good that no matter who signs her the ultimate competition might come from pro sponsors.

She will announce on Nov 16. She has a top four., and has visited three of those four with one school remaining and that is Oregon. That's all I know except one point...Five Oregon sprinters were on the US Olympic team in Rio. Three Ducks ran on the Silver medal winning 4x100 relay at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing. That kind of success speaks for itself. They say that she is a USC lean, but how can you count out Oregon? You can't.

UO Olympic Sprinters in Rio:

Dejah Stevens.....current UO student
Ariana Washington....current student
Jenna Prandini......recent alumna and Bowerman Trophy winner
Phyllis Francis......Gold Medal in Rio..
English Gardner .....Gold Medal in Rio

Also of note:
Jasmine Todd ....Silver Medalist at World Championships in Beijing

Too much time today. Anyway, the P12, especially Zona look good early. From the looks f it, once Oregon gets a 3d com, we will probably jump into the mix.

I thought that this ranking of high school boys and girls distance runners might give a difinitive snapshot of how Stanford and Oregon are doing in their recruiting battles. The girl's list is right below the boy's list. I entered either Stanford or Oregon after the name. As you can see, both schools are doing well. Stanford has more at this time. I think that Oregon might have the better quality.

Our beloved photographer Tom Corno was on the sidelines to bring you these images of the recruits.

She is all done with visits, and plans on signing a NLI on Nov 9. She said that at this time she is still undecided.

Nevada is nationally ranked among high school runners #2 in the 1500, and 1600 behind only UO commit Kate Murphy. Nevada is ranked #4 in the 3200. Some rank her as the nation's top all around distance star. Nevada lives in Raleigh NC.
