The NCAA Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Championships return to Eugene today, and Oregon is among the schools with the largest number of qualified athletes. Texas leads with 33 qualifiers and Oregon is tied for fifth-most with Arkansas at 23. Oregon has won 3 Women’s NCAA Track and Field Team Championships, the last in 2017, while the Oregon Men have won 7 Championships, most recently in 2015 which was the 2nd of back-to-back Championship wins.

The Meet will span 4 days at the renovated Hayward Field and hundreds of athletes will compete. The NCAA Championships feature some of the world’s most talented track and field athletes and are frequently a showcase for future Olympic competitors.

Oregon’s Micah Williams produced the fastest qualifying time in the Men’s 100 meters, clocking 9.86 seconds, the only time under 10 seconds this year. Oregon Sophomore Elliott Cook will compete in the 1500 meters and his qualifying time was 4th best in the country. The Ducks Emmanuel Ihemeje qualified 2nd in the Triple Jump and Freshman Ty Hampton comes into the meet with the 9th best Javelin throw.

For the Women, Senior Kemba Nelson qualified 3rd in the 100 meters and is joined in that race by Jadyn Mays and Jasmine Montgomery. Those three athletes and Senior Jasmin Reed make up Oregon’s top-seeded 4 x 100 relay team. In field events, Dominique Ruotolo leads the Ducks as the 5th seed in the Triple Jump while Jada Ross and Mine De Klerk will be seeking points for Oregon in the Shot Put.
