Pac 12 Athletes By College in Tokyo

My count had been 22… even though the Oregon AD published 19. It is actually 23 because Shae Anderson is in the 4x400 relay pool, and she ran a full indoor and outdoor season for Oregon before transferring to UCLA. Oregon won’t win the most medals but I predict that Oregon will win the most medals that they have ever won at any previous Olympics.

Raevyn and Jenna get past day one in Tokyo

A couple of Bowerman Trophy winners, Jenna Prandini and Reavyn Rogers will be advancing to the semi finals on Saturday.
Prandini is competing in three different events, the 100m, 200 m and 4x100 relay. I do not expect her to make the 100 finals. I expect her to make the 200 and 4x100 finals. Between those two she is has a moderate chance of seeing the podium. She will be in contention in both events.

I expect Reavyn to make the finals. She’ll have a shot at making the podium, but it will be very competitive …, after all it’s the Olympics!…. but she is definitely “a gamer”

Cristobal Pac-12 Media Day comments

Opening comments:

Good morning, everybody. Certainly an honor and privilege today to be able to do this in person after what we all went through last season. Certainly I know everyone is enthused and excited. Feel like we're coming off our best off-season that we have had in our time at Oregon. Camp is around the corner. Getting excited to be here and looking forward to answering your questions.

You said best off-season. Can you explain why that's been the case?

Well, I think the most important thing in the off-season is to find out what your team is all about in the form of presenting them with challenges, with adversity, finding ways to groom leadership. After being apart from each other for an entire season, the brotherhood of our football team, the chemistry, the dynamic that has made us strong over the years has been investing time in each other, spending time with each other, investing time with each other, getting to know each other, working hard, then gaining respect for each other as people, as competitors and teammates has gone a long way.

We feel there's a very strong sense of urgency, detail and intensity in our players. They're ready to compete. They're ready for a very competitive, physical and intense camp.
