THE BIGGEST STORIES FROM 2019

BY ZACK DEMARS • TWITTER @ZACK_DEMARS

A lot can happen in six months – and on this campus, it did. Before students depart for their summer plans, the Emerald wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the biggest things that happened in and around the University of Oregon so far in 2019.

Tensions were high following shooting deaths ree of the biggest events the UO community faced this year have been marked by fear and confusion around shootings in the area and responses by authorities. e year began with the death of Charles Landeros, a Eugene activist and former UO student, after an altercation with police stemming from a custody dispute outside of Cascade Middle School.

Following the incident, an investigation by the Lane County district attorney found the police’s use of deadly force “justified,” while the Civil Liberties Defense Center, a group Landeros volunteered with, announced plans to begin an independent investigation.

“CLDC will be investigating this officer involved shooting and is deeply saddened by the murder of another person of color by law enforcement,” CLDC wrote in a Jan. 11 Facebook post.

Four months later, UO’s campus faced a shooting of its own. On May 4, one person, later identified as Lane Community College student Alex Oyombe Gradin, was killed in an altercation in the universityowned parking lot adjacent to PLC and Taylor’s Bar and Grill.

Little information has surfaced about the first murder on campus since 1984, though the Eugene Police Department is continuing to investigate the incident, hoping to locate and arrest a still-unknown suspect. “ is has had a big effect on the involved neighborhood and people who live in or visit the area.

It is natural to be concerned after an incident like this, and want to know more about what happened,” said EPD spokesperson Melinda McLaughlin. at “concern” manifested itself the very next week, when rumors swirled on social media surrounding e Emerald is published

the mental health crisis of a UO student. While people online shared unfounded threats of a planned campus shooting and some professors made classes optional, the student sought treatment. e fear continued, however, for two days until the university publicly discredited the rumored threats – a delay which drew criticism from students and faculty who still worried about campus safety following the confusion from the threats. UO President Michael Schill also added his perspective, calling for trust and transparency in a public statement.

ASUO held an eventful election In April, three slates ran against each other in ASUO’s annual election for executive branch members and senators. e campaign season included a tense debate that covered a variety of topics including disarming UOPD, ASUO’s Boycott, Divest and Sanction resolution and the candidates’ personal politics. ose personal politics included a photo posted by one candidate for vice president, Michael Kraan of Oregon Alliance, that compared a raised fist made by gun control activist David Hogg to an authoritarian gesture by Adolf Hitler. e controversy around that post led Kraan to drop out of the slate.

In the end, the Ducks Empowered slate won all 28 seats it had candidates for, including president and vice president. In the other races, six write-in candidates and one student running with Oregon Alliance won seats.

After the election, the three slates in the race each had campaign funds – up to $2,000 for one slate – left over, which an Emerald investigation found could be used for personal use due to the lack of ASUO regulations applying to election donations.

as UO faces a $34 million budget deficit going into next year. In response, the university approved raises to both resident and nonresident tuition and proposed a slate of cuts to academic, arts and labor programs across campus. e situation mobilized a variety of campus groups, including the Graduate Teaching Fellow Federation, which is bargaining for a new contract, the Labor Education and Resource Center, which faces budget cuts, and UO community members, who lobbied for greater funding from the state.

Campus paused as snow piled up In what now feels like a distant memory, UO students and staff got a few days off to enjoy a winter wonderland – or a weather nightmare – when snow blanketed Eugene in week eight of winter quarter. e brief pause in campus operations and student life came as campus closed on Monday, half of Tuesday and all of Wednesday.

Aside from the impacts to campus, the snow days were the biggest in recorded history, according to the Oregonian/OregonLive, and left more than 11,000 area residents without power for several days. ...and so much more at’s just the tip of the iceberg of events that campus experienced so far in 2019, but there are more: people protested in a tree, the country faced the longest government shutdown in history, the provost announced his resignation and professors sued the university and the College of Design’s dean for age discrimination before that dean announced his resignation, too. e Emerald will continue its reporting on campus news over the summer and when students return in the fall.

Many Emerald staff contributed reporting to this story, including Nolan Good, Emily Goodykoontz, Hannah Kanik, Franklin Lewis, Emily Matlock, Ryan Nguyen, Zach Price, Becca Robbins, Gina Scalpone, Michael Tobin and Anakin Welp.

A NEWS UO PROFESSOR OF ARABIC FACES VISA NIGHTMARE WITH POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING CONSEQUENCES

BY EMILY MATLOCK • TWITTER @EMILYD_MATLOCK When you walk into Faten Arfaoui’s classroom, the first thing you’ll notice is her beaming smile.

Next is her laugh. She’ll greet you in Arabic, or perhaps English, with room-filling laughter to accompany it. She compliments her students on well-done final papers as they turn them in and individually chats with several students before class starts.

“I was kind of intimidated at first because she’s kind of loud,” said Iman Al Khachi, a junior in Arfaoui’s Arabic 203 class. “But it was a comforting kind of loud because my dad is Middle Eastern as well and it just reminded me of home.”

Arfaoui, who was born and raised in Tunisia, had always dreamed of living in America, but now, that dream is being threatened.

Arfaoui is fighting to keep her visa that allows her to work in the United States as a professor of Arabic at the University of Oregon. She has been teaching here since 2014, but her visa expires at the end of the academic year.

She also has Type 1 diabetes.

Diagnosed in 2011, Arfaoui has been able to receive medical treatment in the U.S. with her health insurance from the university. If she returns to Tunisia, the likelihood of her being able to get her medication is slim.

Her livelihood, and her life, are both at stake.

But what you won’t see in Arfaoui’s classroom is any negativity — her students say it doesn’t affect her work.

When Al Khachi ran into Arfaoui before class, Arfaoui told her she was stressed out.

But when she stepped into the classroom, Al Khachi said, her energy picked up. After class, Arfaoui told Al Khachi that she doesn’t want to bring any negativity into the classroom.

“She’s always so happy to see us,” said Al Khachi.

Last ursday, Arfaoui introduced her Arabic 203 class to Mounir Khélifa, a native Born and raised in Tunisia, University of Oregon professor Faten Arfaoui is fighting to keep her visa, which allows her to work and receive medical treatment in the United States. (Marissa Willke) PA G E 4

of Tunisia, where Arfaoui is also from. Khélifa called over Facebook video chat and the class gathered around to listen. e video didn’t work, but the call went through. “Our internet is really bad in Tunisia,” said Arfaoui.

Arfaoui came to the United States from Tunisia in 2008 after receiving a Fulbright scholarship to begin a master’s program at Texas Tech University. e Tunisian instructor, one of two Arabic instructors at UO, is known back home as “ e American,” she said.

Her father was in the Tunisian army and came to the U.S. on multiple occasions, returning with gifts each time. Arfaoui fell in love with the country when she was a young girl and became determined to travel here. Even her bedroom is decorated in red, white and blue, she said.

At the time, she didn’t know how she would afford to go to America or what she would do when she got here. at didn’t matter, though; she had a dream and worked to make it come true.

She even collected money that she would put in a box called her “America money,” she said.

“It’s worth it. I am here now, but I really also deserve to be here because you know, it’s like a dream that became true,” Arfaoui said. “ is is the country that I chose when I was 14.” ough her English is accented, it’s fluent and easily understandable. She began learning when she was in school as a kid. She taught herself because there weren’t many English instructors in Tunisia growing up. She went to an English-speaking church to practice with others and eventually studied it in college.

“Years ago, if you asked me, ‘What do you want to be?’ I’d tell you, ‘English teacher’ because I feel like the love toward America led me to English,” she said, “and English led me to discover everything about America.”

She came to the states in 2008 on the Fulbright scholarship with a J1 visa, which requires that the

A NEWS holder return to their home country for a cumulative two years during the 5-year stay the visa allows before applying again.

She had two master’s degrees and was working toward a doctorate when she was diagnosed with diabetes in 2011. She had to stay in the hospital and made frequent visits to her doctor to get her situation under control, and could not return to Tunisia.

Around the same time, her home country of Tunisia was in turmoil. In December 2010, then-President Zine alAbidine Ben Ali was overthrown during the Arab Spring uprising. Since then, the country has faced deadly protests and economic pitfalls, including a lack of medication and healthcare for its citizens.

“It’s such a mess,” said Arfaoui. “[We] no longer have the hospitals that we used to have, no longer have the doctors that we used to have, and the educated people there, everyone left the country.” e New York Times reported this week that half of newly registered doctors in Tunisia had left the country in 2018 to work elsewhere.

According to several reports, as much as 60% of medications are not available in Tunisia.

If Arfaoui returns to Tunisia, there is no guarantee she will have the medication she needs, especially at an affordable price.

“My number one FATEN ARFAOUI [priority] is really my medication,” Arfaoui said. “ is is my only home, so that’s why I want a chance for a visa.” A visa would allow her to keep working at the university with medical benefits.

She says she’s working with her doctor on ways to stabilize her blood sugar and has tried other medications to control her levels, but she needs insulin to survive. Without it, her blood sugar levels will spike and drop dangerously, which could lead to death.

“She’s one of the very best,” said Rick Colby, associate professor of religious studies and a friend of Arfaoui. “It’d be a real tragedy if, because of a visa technicality, she weren’t able to come back to the University of Oregon, much less come back to the United States.” e university is applying for an O1 visa on Arfaoui’s behalf. According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website, an O1 visa is “for the individual who

possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics [. . .] and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements.” “ at’s the case we’re making,” said David Hollenberg, department head and associate professor of Arabic & Islamic studies. “She has made a huge impact on a lot of students over the years she’s been teaching. ere’s a flood of support that demonstrates that she is extraordinary.”

Arfaoui considers her students and colleagues to be like family, since she is so far away from hers.

Michelle Sanders, a junior psychology and religious studies major, said Arfaoui became like a mother figure for her when her mom got sick her freshman year.

When her mom passed away, Arfaoui was accommodating and supportive, she said.

“She’s been a very influential person in my life,” Sanders said. “She really shows the culture that she represents very well.”

In addition to her school family, she’d like to have a baby with her husband, who teaches hotel management at SUNY in New York.

Every summer, she travels to visit him and receives fertility treatments while there.

Her husband is Turkish and has a green card.

Along with the O1 visa, Arfaoui has applied for a medical asylum visa, which would UO professor of Arabic allow her to stay in the States for medical reasons with her husband. e first time she applied, she was rejected within a few hours.

Last October, she applied and was told she has to wait 15-18 months for a response. She still hasn’t heard back, and she needs to know by September whether or not she can stay in the states to work for the school. She’s running out of time and is uncertain about the future.

For Arfaoui, teaching her students is the reason she leaves the apartment in the morning and never brings stress or negativity into the classroom. In the meantime, she’s beginning to pack her things in anticipation of bad news.

“So what if there is nothing that I can do or the school can do? I have no idea.

Just to look at my apartment right now, it is a mess. I am a mess,” Arfaoui said.

“I used to see this in the movies, but now it’s me. It’s a horrible feeling.”

“THIS IS MY ONLY HOME, SO THAT’S WHY I WANT A CHANCE FOR A VISA.”

Review:

‘ROCKETMAN’ ENERGIZES THE MUSICAL BIOPIC AND ELTON JOHN’S LEGACY

BY ILANA SLAVIT

Taron Egerton is Elton John. Sunkissed in the velvet glow of the stage, voice ricocheting off the gyrating crowd, one could almost forget that Egerton isn’t Rocketman himself.

With an electrifying musical structure and inventive cinematography, the Elton John biopic “Rocketman” captures the rockstar at his most nuanced and personal.

Taron Egerton, known mainly for the Kingsman movies, delivers a careerdefining performance as Elton John. Fully transformed into the role, Egerton brilliantly expresses the subtleties of Elton’s struggles with sexuality, fame, addiction and acceptance. e ensemble cast, particularly Jamie Bell as Elton’s songwriter, Bernie, elevate the feature.

“Rocketman” tells the story of Elton John’s journey from a shy, neglected child to a flamboyant rockstar through the context of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Elton John sits in full concert regalia in the dreary room, telling his life’s story through flashbacks, musical interludes and imaginative sequences. is juxtaposition between reality and fantasy sets up the film, with factual events told through fantastical visions and dance arrangements.

Elton John has a comparable history to Freddie Mercury. With both of them being queer rockstars misled by the men they loved and

muddled by addiction and fame, many critics worried that “Rocketman” would be a similarly bland biopic like “Bohemian Rhapsody.” While “Bohemian Rhapsody” was burdened by poor writing, a sleep-inducing linear narrative and homophobia, “Rocketman” is the tribute Elton John deserves.

Elton John’s very essence is reflected not only in Egerton, but the aesthetics of the film. From the rapid, circular camerawork to the flashy, rainbow visuals, “Rocketman” is fast paced, yet fully fleshed out emotionally in regard to Elton John’s character and his relationships. e film doesn’t shy away from blatant queerness and the reality of stardom, with gorgeously dizzying parties, pill popping and orgies. e sex scene between Elton John and his manager, played by Richard Madden, is perhaps one of the most honest queer sex scenes in mainstream Hollywood cinema. Both passionate and tasteful, queerness is depicted as something to be proud of, despite society’s restrictions.

Hollywood needs more films that address the realities of being queer in a homophobic world, yet celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of the community like “Rocketman.”

Even if you are unfamiliar with Elton John’s backstory and music, “Rocketman” is an aesthetics treat for the senses.

You won’t want to miss it.

CHINA’S DIVERSITY IS REFLECTED IN EUGENE RESTAURANTS

BY JADE STEWART Dingkui Feng has been working 12-hour days in Chinese restaurants in the U.S. since he was 17, but he only started making his own money this year.

He left his home in Henan, in northeast China, to work in the states after his family acquired a large debt. Since then, he’s scrubbed dishes and bussed tables in more than 10 restaurants all over the U.S. While working in Washington, he nearly passed out from working when he was sick, worried that he would get fired if he rested.

Another time in California, he was fired at the end of his first day for not working hard enough.

But he persevered and finally paid off his debt last summer, after three years of hard work.

Now 20-years-old, he’s working in Eugene, saving for his next move.

Feng is one of over 2 million Chinese immigrants who came to the U.S. between 2000 and 2015.

And he’s one of many who wound up working in Chinese restaurants in Eugene, which have been popping up all over town. e people involved in these establishments are all from the same country and live in the same town in the U.S. Even so, they came from different regions with distinct cultures. eir reasons for coming to the U.S., the varied experiences they’ve had here and the flavors in the food they serve all reflect China’s diversity.

Some Chinese immigrants in Eugene, like Feng, simply came for a job, but others came here for education or to be with family and loved ones.

John Li, 28 years old, owns Spice N Steam restaurant. He’s a driven man who strides confidently through his restaurant as he gives orders in fluent Chinese and English.

Li and his family moved to the U.S. when he was 15 so that he could earn an American education.

He said he was scared about living in a new country at first, but now that he’s opened his own business, he’s happy he came to the U.S. Li was pursuing a business degree at UO until he took a

break from school to work on his restaurant, which he opened in 2017.

He believes coming to the U.S. has given him more freedom to follow his passions, compared to his friends who stayed in China, who he said are often limited by social expectations.

“America gives a better opportunity to let you be more creative,” he said.

Victor Huang, who waits tables at the Legend of Szechuan restaurant, moved to Eugene to be with his girlfriend who studies Japanese at UO. A slim young man with round glasses, Huang often works wearing a light denim jacket. He’s the only English speaker in the restaurant.

Although he said he’ll follow his girlfriend out of Eugene when she graduates, he’s starting to make a home in town.

“I’m very happy here,” he said. e owner of Legend of Szechuan, Tiejun Su, also came to Eugene to be with somebody he cared about.

Su bought the restaurant in July after coming to Eugene to be with his son, who graduated from UO and now works in Portland. Su is a burly man with buzzed salt and pepper hair, a restaurant-industry veteran who’s been in the business his whole life.

He hasn’t been here for long, but he said he likes the clean air and the weather in Eugene, which is much warmer than his hometown of Harbin in northeastern China.

He said he plans to establish his life and business in Eugene.

“It’s nicer to work here than in China. e pay is better,” he said.

Roots China’s people live in regions with distinct languages and food: Chefs in one Chinese restaurant in Eugene might not be able to talk to chefs in another, and they couldn’t cook each other’s dishes.

Xiaoti Sun is the owner of Uniquely Chengdu restaurant. He was born in Chongqing, a city in Sichuan province in south-central China. But he lived in Chengdu, the province’s capital and his restaurant’s namesake for 10 years.

He’s been cooking Sichuan

food, known for its spice and the mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn, for 27 years. His chefs are all from Sichuan province; they make fiery noodles, stir fries and other regional specialties with expertise.

Li and his chefs at Spice N Steam, on the other hand, came from Guangdong province, on China’s southeast coast. In the kitchen, they banter in Cantonese — a dialect that’s completely unintelligible to the Mandarin speakers at Uniquely Chengdu.

Guangdong cuisine is also distinct from Sichuan. It focuses on base ingredients — simply seasoned vegetables, meats and seafood — rather than spicy chiles and peppercorns. e dishes Sun and Li serve at their restaurants reflect their roots. ey contain flavors from home.

He works from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. six days a week and spends most of his one day off sleeping, buying groceries and taking his dirty clothes to the laundromat. He’s had this exhausting schedule for nearly four years.

But he said he appreciates the lessons he’s found in the U.S. During his long hours at work, Feng has had plenty of time to reflect on the different ways of living that he’s encountered here.

“You just keep your body busy, but your brain is free,” he said.

Feng plans to move back to China within a year once he’s saved enough money to give himself some time to think about what he’ll do next. “ e different culture inspired me a lot,” he said, speaking about his time in the states. “I think it’s good for me.”

“CHASING HAPPINESS”

“LIVING MIRAGE”

e Jonas Brothers used to be one of the hottest bands for pre-teens, and now they are popping up yet again. e documentary “Chasing Happiness” takes you back all the way to the brothers’ childhood and follows their lives up until now. Grab some Gushers or another nostalgic snack and get ready to relive your glory days of Camp Rock and Hannah Montana crossover events. e film is both thoughtful and fun with a lot of surprisingly sad and deep moments that will make you respect the band even more. While the film isn’t perfectly executed and can be a little cheesy at times, the emotions, mixed with middle-school nostalgia, make for a quality viewing experience.

e Head and e Heart released their new album, Living Mirage, on May 17 and it boasts true summer vibes. Each song has a slow and soft melody that sets the perfect chill mood. “People Need A Melody” is a slow but happy ballad that is perfect to listen to while reminiscing about the last year of school — it’s all about nostalgia.

“Honeybee” is a positive and upbeat melody about living life to the fullest. “Brenda” might be the best for a long drive, the musical complexities are sure to ease you into relaxation. “I Found Out” is a more fast-paced anthem that is easy to sing along to. e whole album will be the best musical companion throughout the summer months.

OPINION

MOST POPULAR MAJORS AT UO

BY JOANNA MANN • TWITTER @JOANNAMANNDANCE Picking a major is one of the most daunting tasks a college student will face. It can feel as if the rest of your life is going to be shaped by which major you decide to pursue, whether that is true or not.

At the University of Oregon, the three most popular majors are psychology, journalism and business. I talked to one student from each of these majors and asked them if the considerable amount of students in their department is more of an intimidating or motivating factor for their success.

Josh Coughlin, a second-year UO student with a major in psychology, said that while the overwhelming amount of students in his classes can be intimidating, it is also comforting for the same reason. “ e sheer amount of people within the major is a reflection of how successful the department is,” said Coughlin. “It’s successful, and it shows that through how many people enjoy doing it and the support that comes out of it.”

When it comes to making himself stand out in such a populous major, Coughlin uses his minors in philosophy and music to diversify his educational background. With such a broad range

of topics under his belt, he is able to make more connections and find work in other fields besides psychology if the opportunity arises.

Sarah Miller, a second-year journalism student, expressed that the competition within the SOJC fuels her drive to succeed. Miller is a videographer for Ethos magazine here at UO. “I think that [the amount of competition] depends on what you want to focus on within journalism, because there are so many directions you can go in to break it up,” said Miller.

Miller is currently working on editing an a cappella documentary she filmed earlier this year as well as starting a series about drag. ese projects allow her to showcase her creativity and stand out from other journalism students.

Jake Luther, an accounting major in the business school, said that while the business school itself is intimidating, the accounting department feels very community-based.

“I think at some point, everyone’s just there to get their degree. College sucks, and it’s fun to have friends in class so you’re not competing for grades,” said Luther.

Luther also mentioned that the nearly unlimited

amount of jobs in the business realm helps to ease the competition within the major. If most people are guaranteed a business-related job after college, going above and beyond to make yourself stand out isn’t as imperative as it is in other departments.

Luther is the president of the accounting fraternity on campus, which allows him to network and get to know professionals on a more personal level. He explained that this will provide him with the references he needs to land an internship or job after college.

Studying alongside hundreds, or even thousands, of other students in your major does not automatically make you doomed for failure.

You may find it impossible right now to set yourself apart from your peers, but building up familiar relationships with professors and turning in your best work will prove to be worthwhile as time goes on.

More students in your classes means more study buddies, collaboration partners and connections that will benefit you later in life. Simply becoming involved on campus is all it takes to make an impression on people, rather than being just someone else in the crowd.

Social media has become some people’s primary news sources, which sometimes leads to problems of misinformation. (Creative Commons)

BLURRED LINES:

FIGHTING MISINFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA

BY ANDY STEVENS • TWITTER @VNDREWWS Does your mom share articles from e Onion on Facebook thinking they’re real? If so, you’re not alone. Social media have become some people’s primary news sources, and that has led to some problems. For most of you reading this, telling the difference between real headlines and fake ones seems obvious, but the problem of misinformation goes deeper than that. e first question to answer is why this is important. e most apparent example is the 2016 presidential election. In the months leading up to the election, conservative memes and fake headlines proliferated on Facebook and Twitter. e mixture of genuine fake news, trolling and satire led to a general confusion of truth that many people credit for Trump’s victory. e New York Intelligencer published an article

titled: How Internet Trolls Won the 2016 Presidential Election.

Much of the trolling was found to have originated in Russia and other European countries, with the intention of affecting the election. is highlighted the folly of our free and open discourse, where people can be convinced of almost anything. So how can we preserve satire and freedom of expression while sifting through the fake news?

Our parents and people who grew up without social media are the most vulnerable to this kind of manipulation. It is easy to see why someone who is not familiar with social media could be fooled by an outrageous headline they see on Facebook. Without readily apparent verification methods, the older generations are left almost helpless in a sea of lies. e first step toward verification is simply to look at who or what

entity is posting. Many Facebook pages like Eyez Wide Shut are pretty clearly falsified information, but something like End e Fed that takes itself more seriously can be hard to pinpoint. In general, it is a good rule of thumb to not trust articles that don’t cite sources, but even that can be manipulated. You can always dig a little deeper and investigate who funds or is running these organizations, but that takes extra work that sadly, most people won’t do. e solution I wish I could present is to simply think critically about what you’re seeing, but regrettably that isn’t enough. People have biases, and because of that, articles that disagree with your perspective are easy to ignore or discredit.

Cognitive dissonance, essentially knowing you’re wrong, is a hard thing to cope with. No one wants to be wrong, especially about serious

issues, but in pursuit of the truth, cognitive dissonance must be faced head on. ere is no catch-all solution for combatting fake news, and censorship is the start of a slippery slope, so we’re all still faced with a challenge. ink before you share a post, look up who posted it, check the time and date of the post, see what other people are saying about it, and above all, ask yourself if there’s any way you could be wrong.

Being one of the first generations to truly live online means it is our responsibility to help those who aren’t so familiar. Ask your parents how they use Facebook, and show them what misinformation looks like. Show them satire like e Onion and trolling like that seen on 4chan. Being more informed is the best way to evade fake news, and for once, it is our job as young people to do the informing.

OREGON WOMEN END SEASON WITH FIFTH PLACE FINISH AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

BY AUGUST HOWELL • TWITTER @HOWELL_AUGUST In last season’s outdoor track and field championships, at the rain soaked Hayward Field, Sinclaire Johnson of Oklahoma State watched the 1,500-meter final from the stands. e sophomore had failed to qualify in the preliminary round.

Fast forward a year, and the script is flipped.

With temperatures in the high 90s and not a cloud in sight at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, Texas, Johnson outkicked Oregon’s Jessica Hull in the final straightaway to win the 1,500-meter title in 4 minutes, 05.98 seconds. It was the second-fastest time ever by a collegiate, and Hull was right behind her in 4:06.27, the third fastest time by a collegiate and a personal best by two seconds.

Despite the severe heat, the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships produced some incredible moments, with several collegiate records going down for the men and women. Hull’s race, with the exception of Carmela Cardama Baez’s runner-up performance in the 10,000 meters, was the best result

from the Ducks. e Oregon women finished fifth with 34 points. e team title came down to the final race, the 4x400-meter relay. USC and Arkansas were tied with 56 points going into the race, and USC’s Anna Cockrel tripped and dropped the baton coming into the home stretch on the second exchange. e team was not disqualified, but Arkansas cruised to a second place finish behind Texas A&M and took home the team title with 64 points. roughout the final day, the women’s sprint events had several standout moments. Sha’Carri Richardson of LSU set a world junior and collegiate record in the 100 meters, winning easily in 10.75 seconds. USC’s Anglerne Annelus defended her 200-meter title in 20.16, the fastest collegiate time this year. e Ducks entered the final day of competition with 10 points, tied in sixth place with New Mexico, Florida and Cal. ey had seven scoring opportunities, and though they set multiple personal bests, they did not

have enough depth to keep up with the heavy hitters.

Hannah Waller finished last in the 400 meters in 52.47, two seconds behind the winner. Susan Ejore ran a lifetime best 2:02.26 in the 800 meters, good for fifth place. ough Rhesa Foster broke her previous best twice in the long jump on Friday, she placed seventh in a deep field. e junior finished at 21-1 ¼ but Yanis David of Florida bested the field with a jump of 22-5 ¼. Chaquinn Cook set a season best of 45-¼, which earned her in fourth place and five points for Oregon.

Oregon’s 4x100-meter relay team, comprised of Venessa and Kerrissa D’Arpino, Briyahna DesRosiers and Briana Duncan finished fourth with a season best 42.99. USC won the 4x100-meter relay in 42.21 seconds. e final meet of the season was a rather sub-par performance from the Ducks in general. Between the men and women, the Ducks had 30 entries, but did not win a single individual title.
