What Is the Lady Track Duck's Most storied event?

Well it might be the 800, and it might be the 200, but I'm going with the 4x400 relay.

For your entertainment I'm posting three great UO 4x400 NCAA Championship victories. In 2010 the final leg is between Bowerman winner Jessica Beard and Oregon's eventual 4x400 Olympic Gold Medalist Keshia Baker. In 2012 the anchor leg is run by another 4x400 relay Olympic Gold Medalist, Phyllis Francis. In 2017, the anchor leg is run by Raevyn Rogers....what accolades might await her! Perhaps the indoor 4x400 relay teams were just good and exciting. They were also star studded...but this is just outdoor 4x400s.

Flotrack Bowerman Predictions

Respected track and field website, flotrack, panel of seven experts cast their picks for who should win college track's most prestigious honor. This year is kind of unusual because this usually argumentative group was unanimous for both the men and women. All seven picked sprinter Christian Coleman for the men, and Raevyn Rogers for the women. Should they be right about Rogers, it will be the third Duck woman to win the Bowerman award in the past four seasons....3 out of 4 wouldn't be bad. It would be the 5th Bowerman award winner for Oregon men and women in the past 8 seasons.

From IMG National 7v7: Ducks Trending for Rivals 100 WR?

I spent some time talking with Florida WR Warren Thompson and some close to him and Oregon is VERY much in this race. I had some telling me Oregon is the team to beat.

He is down to Florida State, North Carolina and Oregon. I will post a full update on Thompson in the coming days, but he is one the Duck fans need to keep a close eye on.

Thompson plans to cut his list to two, then commit later this summer.

I liked what I saw in him today. Physically impressive, showed a little burst and he made some big plays. He can be more consistent with his hands.

Expect a very good week

I have been told to expect a very good week coming up. Can't spill the beans; no hints. But a good week in the form of multiple pieces of good news.

Evan Tattersall, Will Craig's team mate getting an offer is huge. They are very close friends and this could really help solidify the concept of Craig becoming a Duck.

Will have stories on what I can for when it is all public... Fun times Duck fans!

Big Time UO Track Commits To Compete at Brook Inv.

Future Ducks Reed Brown, Cooper Teare, and Joseph Anderson will be competing at the Brooks High School Inv. It will be live streamed this Saturday on flotrack. Brown, who ran a sub 4 minute mile a few weeks back is scheduled to compete in the 800.Cooper Teare, who narrowly missed a sub 4 min mile earlier in the outdoor season will go for it against the top high school milers in the country.

So cool having future Duck Joseph Anderson referred to as the nation's top high school hurdler!

Elijah's Dad, Mike Brown

I wish Elijah had a couple of years of eligibility, but nonetheless, I'm sure glad we got him. If he's anything like his Dad he should be a great influence on the team and U. Compare and contrast to Mr Ball, lol. I hope Mike stops by and talks to the players and team when he gets a minute, ie, probably 3 more games.
