Facility: Armory Track and Field Center Watch: USATF.TV/RunnerSpace +Plus Results: results.armorytrack.com FOCUS TURNS TO QUALIFYING MARKS AS DUCKS HEAD TO NEW YORK EUGENE, Ore. After knocking off the rust in its 2018 indoor opener, the Oregon track and field team will turn its attention to securing NCAA qualifying marks when the Ducks travel to the historic Armory Track and Field Center in New York for the Columbia Challenge as part of the Dr. Sander Invitational (Jan ). We definitely need to get some qualifying marks there in New York, said head coach Robert Johnson. Our focus will be on getting those DMR qualifiers and then anything we can get on top of that is icing on the cake. MEET FORMAT The Dr. Sander Invitational runs from Thursday, Jan. 25, to Saturday, Jan. 27, with the Ducks competing only on Friday and Saturday. The three-day event consists of two separate meets: the Armory Challenge (Jan ) and the Columbia Challenge (Jan ). The Ducks will compete in the Columbia Challenge. HOW TO FOLLOW The Dr. Sander Invitational will be streamed live through USATF.TV/RunnerSpace +Plus, and the NBC Sports Network will air two hours of live action on Saturday (2-4 p.m. PT). Live results can be found at results.armorytrack.com, and updates will be provided during the meet on Twitter DUCKS SHAKE OFF RUST AT INDOOR OPENER The Ducks got comfortable with being back in a meet setting when they opened the 2018 season at the UW Preview in Seattle on Jan. 13. Many student-athletes competed in off events to kick off the rust from the offseason, while others shined in their specialties. Hannah Waller ran a new PR and the second-fastest 200-meter time (24.19) in the field, and was joined by six more Ducks in the top 12. Sabrina Southerland ran a huge PR in the mile (4:40.40), Ashlyn Hare got the collegiate win in the high jump (5 7 ) in her UO debut and freshman Sydnee Walker moved into seventh in UO history in the weight throw (58-7.5) in her first collegiate event. For the men, transfer Cravon Gillespie took third in the 60 meters in 6.77 to move into a tie for seventh all-time at Oregon, Cameron Stone won both his 200 and 600-meter heats and Ben Milligan (7 0.5 ) and Max Lydum ( ) each reached new PRs in the high jump and weight throw, respectively. DUCKS LOOK TO CONTINUE INDOOR DOMINANCE The Men and Women of Oregon have frequently been at the top of the NCAA indoor track and field world over the past decade, winning 11 total indoor team titles since The UO women have won the last two indoor championships, including last year when they scored a meet record 84 points, and seven of the last eight. The UO men have won four indoor titles in the last nine years, including three straight from 2014 to NEW FACES, SAME GOALS There will be a lot of new faces for Duck fans to learn in 2018, as more than 30 newcomers have joined the Men and Women of Oregon. That is nearly triple the usual amount of new faces the Ducks welcome each year. Some of the notable newcomers by way of transfer include sprinters Cravon Gillespie (Mt. SAC) and Briyahna DesRosiers (Texas A&M), jumpers Tristan James (LCC) and Spenser Schmidt (PSU) and middle distance runners Sabrina Southerland (Georgetown), Amanda Gehrich (Utah) and Ruby Stauber (LSU). Oregon also brought in an abundance of talented freshmen, including hurdlers Joseph Anderson and Kaylah Robinson, sprinters Shae Anderson, Jasmin Reed, Lauren Rain Williams and Rocky Rainey, distance runners Cooper Teare and Reed Brown and throwers Jared Briere and Austin Glynn. UO WOMEN COMING OFF TRIPLE CROWN The Women of Oregon will look to build off last year s magical season in 2018 after becoming the first NCAA DI women s program ever to complete the Triple Crown, with national titles in cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field in the same academic year. The UO women began the historic run with a thrilling one-point win in the 2016 NCAA Cross Country Championships, and then dominated at the NCAA Indoor Championships for their seventh indoor title in the last eight years with a meet-record 84 points. With history on the line, the Ducks pulled out a narrow victory over Georgia at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, with the 4x400 relay team running a collegiate record 3:23.13 to pull out a must-have victory in the final event and complete the Triple Crown (more on pages 12-13). RANKINGS The Women of Oregon are currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, while the Men of Oregon slot in at No. 14. UP NEXT The Ducks will split into two groups for their next competition after New York, with the sprinters and jumpers going to Albuquerque for the Don Kirby Elite (Feb. 9-10) and the throwers and distance runners traveling to Seattle for the Husky Classic (Feb. 9-10). 1

4 WHO TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND WHO TO WATCH: Three-time NCAA champion and eight-time all-american Ariana Washington was named to the preseason watch list for The Bowerman after winning the indoor 200-meter title and playing a crucial role in the Triple Crown run last season. UO LOOKING TO REPLICATE DMR SUCCESS IN NYC The Ducks head to New York focused on securing NCAA Indoor qualifying marks in the distance-medley relay, something they were able to accomplish in thrilling fashion last season at the Armory in New York. The quartet of Lilli Burdon (1,200m), Ashante Horsley (400m), Raevyn Rogers (800m) and Katie Rainsberger (1,600m) ran a blistering 10:48.77 to shatter the collegiate record by more than two seconds for the Men of Oregon, and the Men of Oregon got an NCAAleading time of 9:30.86 from Matthew Maton (1,200m), Cameron Stone (400m), Mick Stanovsek (800m) and Edward Cheserek (1,600m). WASHINGTON NAMED TO BOWERMAN WATCH LIST Senior sprinter Ariana Washington, a three-time NCAA champion and eight-time all-american for the Ducks, was named to the preseason watch list for The Bowerman, the most prestigious award in collegiate track and field. Washington played a major part in last year s Triple Crown run for the Women of Oregon, winning the NCAA Indoor 200 meter title while also scoring indoors in the 60 meters as well as outdoors in both the 100 and 200 meters. Fellow sprinter Hannah Cunliffe also received votes for the Bowerman preseason watch list. JOHNSON AMONG ALL-TIME GREAT COACHES In just his sixth year as the Ducks head coach, Robert Johnson has already led Oregon to 13 team NCAA championships, placing him fourth on the NCAA alltime list. Only John McDonell (42), Pat Henry (35) and Ted Banks (17) have led cross country or track and field teams to more national titles. Under Johnson, the Ducks have won two NCAA championships in women s cross country, four in women s indoor track and field, three in men s indoor track and field, two in women s outdoor track and field and two in men s outdoor track and field. Additionally, Johnson led the Women of Oregon to the the historic Triple Crown in Johnson has also guided his student-athletes to 48 individual national championships. MEET NOTES history of NCAA athletics. The Ducks also lose 2017 Bowerman winner and six-time NCAA champion Raevyn Rogers and 2016 Olympian Deajah Stevens to the professional ranks, along with last year s NCAA 60-meter hurdle champion Sasha Wallace, 100 and 200-meter Pac-12 champion Kyree King and the top two Pac-12 finishers in the decathlon, Mitch Modin and Joe Delgado, among others. DUCKS SIGN NINE FOR 2019 The Ducks announced another elite recruiting class on Jan. 16, signing nine highly accomplished studentathletes from around the country and the world for The loaded incoming class includes a U.S. Junior and Pan-American champion, five state champions and three all-usa selections. The class is made up of hurdlers Eric Edwards Jr. and Emily Sloan, jumpers Lexi Ellis, DJ Henderson and Tori Sloan, middle distance runners Taylor Chiotti and Josh Hoey and multi-event athletes Oierce LaCoste and Maximilian Vollmer CROSS COUNTRY REVIEW The Men and Women of Oregon each put together solid cross country seasons during the fall, with the women finishing fifth at the NCAA Championships and the men running their best race of the year to place sixth. Katie Rainsberger continued to establish herself as a budding star with a stellar season, which she began by shattering the Springfield Golf Club course record. Lilli Burdon showed she can be UO s consistent No. 2 runner while joining Rainsberger on the all-pac-12 first-team, and Carmela Cardama Baez proved to be a big contributor after transfering from Florida State by earning second-team all-pac-12 honors. The Men of Oregon enjoyed a a great rookie season from freshman Cooper Teare, who finished eighth at the Pac-12 Championships to earn Pac-12 freshman of the year honors. Tanner Anderson also had a good year to build off last season s breakout performance on the track, leading the Ducks at the NCAA Championships in 41st overall with Teare just three spots behind.

Rogers earned the honor after a stellar junior season in which she swept the indoor and

5 outdoor 800 meter NCAA titles, giving her five straight at that distance, while also anchoring the Ducks in the thrilling 4x400 relay to win the Triple Crown. Rogers is the fifth UO athlete to ever win The Bowerman - joining Galen Rupp, Ashton Eaton, Laura Roesler and Jenna Prandini - the most of any team in the nation. Following the 2017 season, Rogers announced she would forego her senior season to turn professional. PRAKEL NAMED PAC-12 SCHOLAR ATHLETE FOR XC Redshirt senior Sam Prakel continued his stellar academic career during the cross country season in the fall, winning the honor of Pac-12 men s scholar athlete of the year. The 2016 Elite 90 Award winner for indoor track and field, Prakel is a five-time Pac-12 first-team all-academic selection and a 2016 first-team academic all-america recipient while majoring in biochemistry. MEN S 2018 OUTLOOK The production that 17-time NCAA champion Edward Cheserek provided over the last four years is irreplaceable, as Johnson puts it, but the Men of Oregon have a deep, young roster in 2018 and will try to make up for those points in other areas. The Ducks also lose Kyree King, the 2017 Pac-12 champion in the 100 and 200 meters, but a good crop of returners and an exciting influx of new talent will make the UO men a team to watch throughout Senior middle-distance runners Sam Prakel and Blake Haney will be counted on for leadership as much as production, and other returners like sophomore hurdler Braxton Canady, third-year sprinter Cameron Stone and redshirt sophomore distance runner Tanner Anderson will be expected to step up for the Ducks in Sprinter Julius Shellmire is also back and is looking to carve out more of an individual role for the Ducks, and young throwers Sebastian Barajas and Max Lydum will try to step up after losing a lot of leadership in that group. The Men of Oregon will have a lot of new faces in 2018, with an exciting mix of freshmen and transfers joining the squad. Freshman Joseph Anderson should prove to be a dynamic addition in the hurdles, he took bronze for Team USA in the 110 hurdles at last summer s Pan American Championships, and rookie distance runners Cooper Teare and Reed Brown will be fun to watch on the track after terrific collegiate debuts during the cross country season. Among transfers, sprinter Cravon Gillespie will be intriguing to watch after coming over from Mt. SAC, as his 200 and 100 meter personal-bests would rank first and fourth in UO history, respectively. Spenser Schmidt and Tristan James could both make an impact in the jumps right away after transfering to UO, and miler James West was a big-time transfer from England and will look to translate his international success onto the track for the Ducks. MEET NOTES (CONT.) WOMEN S 2018 OUTLOOK The Women of Oregon are coming off the greatest season any women s collegiate program has ever enjoyed, having completed the historic Triple Crown by sweeping the cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field NCAA team titles in the same academic year. Like the men, the UO women lose quite a bit of talent from last year s squad, notably 2017 Bowerman winner Raevyn Rogers and 2016 Olympian Deajah Stevens, but there is still a ton of talent returning and the Ducks have restocked in a lot of areas with dynamic freshmen and transfers with a lot of past success. Star sprinters Ariana Washington and Hannah Cunliffe are back to anchor the Women of Oregon in Both captured NCAA indoor titles last year, and both will be watched closely on the national stage throughout the year. Sophomore Katie Rainsberger has already established herself as a star in the distance events, contributing to all three phases of the Triple Crown as a freshman last year, and she is joined by Alli Cash, Lilli Burdon and Jessica Hull, among others, to make up a deep and talented distance group. In the jumps, the Women of Oregon return the defending Pac-12 champions in both the long jump (Rhesa Foster) and the triple jump (Chaquinn Cook), and Alaysha Johnson is also back as the defending Pac-12 champion in the 100 hurdles. Sophomore Makenzie Dunmore will be another name to watch in the sprints after a very productive freshman year, and Brooke Feldmeier will be counted on in the 800 with the loss of Rogers after a kicking to a thirdplace NCAA finish outdoors last year. Throwers Ronna Stone, Kiana Phelps and Maddie Rabing all had solid years last year and will now look to make more of an impact on the national scale for the Ducks. There is a ton of exciting new talent in 2018 for the UO women. Shae Anderson and Lauren Rain Williams are both highly-touted freshmen in the sprints, and Anderson should also make an immediate impact in the hurdles.

12 WOMEN OF OREGON TRIPLE CROWN WINNERS ABOUT OREGON S TRIPLE CROWN The Women of Oregon became the first NCAA DI women s program in history to complete the Triple Crown, winning the NCAA cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field team titles in the same academic year NCAA Cross Country Champions The Ducks claimed the first jewel in the Triple Crown with a one-point win at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, with Maggie Schmaedick out-kicking second-place Michigan s final runner to secure the win. The UO women scored 84 points at the NCAA Indoor Championships, shattering the meet record to secure their seventh indoor title in the last eight years NCAA Indoor T&F Champions 2017 NCAA Outdoor T&F Champions 12 Oregon completed the Triple Crown with a dramatic victory over Georgia at the NCAA Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field, as the 4x400 relay team, needing a victory to complete the historic feat, ran a collegiate-record 3:23.13 to win the team title and secure the Triple Crown. Raevyn Rogers, who swept the indoor and outdoor 800-meter NCAA titles and anchored the Ducks in the thrilling 4x400 relay to complete the Triple Crown, went on to win the 2017 Bowerman Award, collegiate track and field s highest honor.

13 TRIPLE CROWN THE FINAL JEWEL TRIPLE CROWN OF TITLES FOR UO WOMEN! By Rob Moseley - Editor, GoDucks.com 6/10/17 EUGENE, Ore. Back in November 2016, the most unlikely of circumstances set the stage for Oregon to compete for the first-ever Triple Crown of national championships by a women s track and field program. The first jewel in that crown is the NCAA cross country title, won by the Ducks in November when their fifth and final scoring runner, Eugene native Maggie Schmaedick, finished one spot ahead of Michigan s fifth and final scoring runner. That gave Oregon a one-point victory over the Wolverines for the team title, and the first jewel in the Triple Crown. At the time, it was hard to imagine another title being so fraught with drama. To which the Ducks, at this week s NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, unforgettably said: You ain t seen nothing yet. Three months after winning the second jewel, an NCAA Indoor title, Oregon on Saturday made history by running to the first Triple Crown of titles by an NCAA women s program in the same academic year. The Ducks did so needing nothing short of a win in the meet s final event, the 4x400-meter relay, and got it in thrilling fashion by running a collegiaterecord 3 minutes, seconds, just head of runnerup USC, which also broke the previous collegiate record. The relay win allowed Oregon to overcome a fall by 2016 Olympian Deajah Stevens in the 200 meters, which she was in contention to win before falling in the final few meters and failing to score even a single point. Georgia led the team race at that point with 62.2 points. Oregon had 54. A second-place finish in the 4x400 would have left the Ducks two-tenths of a point short of the Triple Crown. But they weren t to be denied. It was awesome, said Stevens, who recovered from her fall to run a leg on the 4x400. We ve had talks about getting the Triple Crown, and we were all so excited about it. I knew that we were going to come out and get it, because all the girls want the same thing and strive for the same goals. I knew we d put it together when we had to. Even after her fall, Stevens said, she remained confident the Ducks would pull it out. For everyone else in attendance at Hayward Field on Saturday evening, the outcome wasn t certain until the final moments of the meet. The day began well for Oregon, with freshman Katie Rainsberger battling to fourth in the 1,500 meters, Alaysha Johnson and Sasha Wallace finishing fourth and sixth, respectively, for eight team points in the 100 hurdles, and Stevens and Ariana Washington finishing second and fourth, respectively, in the 100. When Raevyn Rogers won her third straight NCAA Outdoor 800-meter title, and Brooke Feldmeier kicked to a surprising third, the Ducks anticipated dominance Saturday was developing. But everything changed over the final few meters of the 200. Stevens was neck-and-neck with Florida s Kyra Jefferson, who would go on to set a collegiate record of seconds. Stevens was in position to perhaps edge her at the line, when her toe appeared to catch on the track and she tumbled to the ground. Washington surged to finish second, but without any points from Stevens and with Georgia dominating Saturday s field events the Bulldogs suddenly were in position to steal the team title. Fortunately for Oregon, it was fielding the nation s best 4x400 quartet. And given Saturday s dramatics, that quartet was running with some extra fire. We huddled up in the medical tent, UO head coach Robert Johnson said. We all sat down and simply said, Georgia s got 62.2 points and we re at 54, so we can t be second, or we ll lose by 0.2 points. We have to win. I said, I hate to put this all on you but I also want to put it on you, because I wouldn t want it to come down to any other four girls on this team. I simply told them, we re built for this. We re ready. Freshman Makenzie Dunmore ran the lead leg for the UO women, and trailed only USC when she handed the baton to Stevens. The Olympian then handed off to senior Elexis Guster, who earlier in the day finished sixth in the open 400 and then, in the relay, provided Oregon the lead by powering past the Trojans in the Bowerman Curve. Rogers took off for the final leg with Oregon in front, and was passed by the USC anchor in the first turn. But Rogers reclaimed the lead for the Ducks soon after, and road a wave of crowd noise down the homestretch to give the UO women first place in the race, the NCAA Outdoor team title and a Triple Crown for My heart was beating so fast, Rogers said. We prayed about it you know I m all about prayer. It was something that we needed to get. I m just glad that I was able to stay composed and be patient. Oregon s victory celebration was delayed first by two Georgia protests of Stevens participation in the relay after failing to finish the 200, and of her relay leg. The Bulldogs wanted to clarify that Stevens had been officially disqualified from the 200 rather than simply failing to finish, the latter requiring medical clearance prior to participation in another event. And Georgia wanted officials to review whether Stevens had remained in Oregon s lane long enough before breaking to the inside with the rest of the field in the backstretch of the relay s second leg. Neither protest was successful. A thunder storm that moved in over Hayward Field further delayed Oregon s victory celebration. But celebrate, the Ducks eventually did. Is that a way to end a track meet, or what? Johnson asked. The ending overshadowed but couldn t erase some gutty performances by the Ducks earlier in the day. Prior to the 4x400, the Ducks got a point in the 5,000 meters from Samantha Nadel, who joined Rainsberger in providing points toward all three national championships in the triple crown. Hoping to ease the burden on the relay, Nadel tried to start her kick with 800 meters to go, and gain some distance on runners in the field who were stronger finishers. The tactic didn t work out, as Nadel finished eighth in 15:48.93, but the spirit was indicative of the fight Oregon showed all day. We just tried to do our part and stick to our process, said Nadel, who finished a spot ahead of teammate Lilli Burdon. It was a little scary, what happened to Deajah, but we just tried to focus on our contribution. Rainsberger fought through a physical 1,500 final that ended in a five-wide sprint for the finish, in which the UO freshman took fourth in 4: That followed her fourth-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in November, and two thirdplace finishes in the NCAA Indoor meet in March. I couldn t be happier, Rainsberger said. I just wanted to get out there, stay composed and really run that last stretch for my teammates. Johnson finished fourth in the 100 hurdles in despite or more accurately because of, she lamented a slow start. Two spots behind her was Wallace, who ran a season-best in just her fourth competitive race since a quad injury earlier this spring. I didn t even think I was going to have a season (back then), Wallace said. To say I m top eight in the nation, I m excited about that. That was my last college race, and I m glad I was able to get points for my team. Until the dramatics of the 4x400, no Duck was happier than Feldmeier. After an impressive preliminary Thursday, she said she barely slept in the ensuing two nights, so great was her anticipation for Saturday. The lack of rest didn t hurt after Rogers won in 2:00.02, Feldmeier crossed third in 2:01.54, her personal best by more than a second. This is like a dream come true, said Feldmeier, a junior. I came to Oregon to run really fast. It s taken a while, but the coaches just told me to be patient. That when it comes together, it s gonna come quick. Washington also couldn t wait for Saturday, but for a different reason. The defending NCAA champ at both 100 and 200 qualified for both finals this year on time, rather than automatically by finishing first or second in her preliminaries. She was out to show Saturday that those performances weren t indicative of her abilities. I think I knew I was better than what I performed like Thursday, said Washington, who accounted for 13 points Saturday. We had a conversation, that we were trying too hard to get this Triple Crown. All we need to do is be ourselves, and be Oregon. That was enough Saturday, just barely. And it was enough, too, to make Oregon winners of the firstever Triple Crown by an NCAA women s team. That yearlong effort began with Schmaedick s dramatics in cross country, and ended Saturday with Stevens near-disaster, then her redemption with the relay. What a way to end a track meet, Johnson said. And what a way to carve out a place in history. 13

Trailing Georgia by 8.2 points with only the 4x400 relay remaining, the Ducks ran a collegiate record 3:23.13 to win the relay, secure the NCAA championship and become the first women s team in NCAA D-I history to complete the Triple Crown. In addition to the dramatic outdoor win, the Ducks pulled out a one-point victory at the NCAA Cross Country Championships for the first jewel of the Triple Crown, and set the stage for the dramatics in Eugene with a record-setting performance at the NCAA Indoor Championships, scoring a meet-record 84 points. Johnson also led the Men and Women of Oregon to their ninth straight sweep of the Pac-12 team titles in 2017, guiding both teams to blowout victories at Hayward Field. As a result, Johnson was named the 2017 Pac-12 coach of the year on both the men s and the women s side. Throughout the 2017 season, the Women of Oregon broke seven collegiate records (DMR(i), 60m (i), 4x100m, 4x200m, Sprint Medley Relay, 800m, 4x400m), and finished the season with at least a share of six of those records still intact. In the summer of 2017, Johnson helped guide four athletes to berths to the IAAF World Championships at the U.S. Outdoor Championships, including a U.S. title in the 200 meters by Deajah Stevens. Johnson is one of only two coaches all-time to earn a career women s triple crown national titles in cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. The other coach to accomplish that is Texas legend Terry Crawford. With a national title in men s cross country, Johnson would become the only coach in NCAA history with career triple crowns for both the men and women. Under Johnson s guidance, Oregon has been honored as the national Women s Program of the Year for each of the nine years of the award s existence, while the men s program has earned the honor five times, including three straight from After a tremendously successful run as associate coach, Robert Johnson was elevated to head coach of the Oregon track and field and cross country programs in the summer of He is in his 12th season overall with the Ducks. His leadership was evident immediately upon taking the helm of the most storied programs in collegiate track and field. Less than six months after becoming Oregon s head coach, Johnson s Women of Oregon set the foundation of success by winning the 2012 cross country national championship for the first time in 25 years. The Ducks followed that performance with their fourth straight women s national indoor title in Johnson then oversaw Oregon s men s and women s sweep of the Pac-12 Championships, before guiding both teams to trophy finishes at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships. In his second year as head coach, Johnson guided the Men and Women of Oregon to a sweep of the NCAA Indoor National Championships. His women became just the second team in meet history to win five consecutive NCAA indoor crowns while the men claimed their first title since Both teams followed-up with their sixth straight sweep of the Pac-12 Championships. A month later at Hayward Field the men, fueled by four individual champions, claimed their first NCAA outdoor title since 1984 by setting a meet-record 88 points and the largest margin of victory in 20 years. Year three of the Johnson era saw three national championships as the men defended their indoor and outdoor titles. The outdoor title came by 29 points, the largest margin of victory at the NCAA Championships in 21 years. The Ducks then added the crown jewel of year three when the women collected points across the board to win Oregon s first outdoor national championship in 30 years. The Ducks also added to their Pac-12 dominance with a sweep of the men s and women s track and field championships, while also claiming the 2014 women s cross country title. In , Johnson led the Ducks to a sweep of the indoor championships as the Men of

15 HEAD COACH ROBERT JOHNSON 6th season as HC, 13th at Oregon Oregon claimed their third-straight national title and the Women of Oregon won the indoor crown for the third time in four years. The women added their second cross country national championships in the fall of 2016, as they came out and shocked the nation with a one-point victory over Michigan. The Ducks have won 47 individual national titles under Johnson. Leading the charge is 17-time champion, and three-time Bowerman Award finalist, Edward Cheserek.
