Lexi Ellis just missed advancing to the triple jump finals. Dominique Ruotolo did advance and finished in 7th place.

Perhaps the most electrifying race of the day was the women’s 100 meter. Kemba Nelson placed second and nearly took it on a photo finish.

As a team, the Ducks just missed breaking into the top ten, finishing 11th place with 20 points. The general consensus for the Oregon women’s team appeared to be that they had a successful weekend and their hard work on the season paid off.
Look for adam86’s ATQ wrap-up of the 2022 NCAA Track and Field Championship tomorrow!
