2013 SEASON

2013 Season The NCAA Championships and visits from Texas A&M and Arkansas highlight an exciting 2013 track and field schedule. One of the most attractive home slates of recent years includes not only the 2013 NCAA meet, but also a dual meet with the Arkansas men as well as Texas A&M, Washington and Washington State at the Pepsi Team Invitational. Oregon opens the outdoor season by hosting the Oregon Preview on March 16. Then the Ducks hit the road for the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays March 27-30 in Austin, Texas, and the Stanford Invitational March 29-30. The home slate then picks up with the Pepsi Team Invitational on April 6, with the Aggies returning to TrackTown for the second straight year along with Pac-12 rivals Washington and WSU. It will be the Cougars’ first appearance in the Pepsi meet since 1997. A small number of Ducks will go to the John Knight Twilight on April 12 in Monmouth, Ore., and the Mt. SAC Relays April 18-20 in Walnut, Calif. Hayward Field will then host another exciting dual meet when Arkansas comes calling. The Men of Oregon and the Razorbacks will meet during the middle of the Oregon Relays, which will be held April 19-20. Another interesting date on the calendar is the April 26 OSU High Performance Meet. That competition will mark Oregon’s first appearance in Corvallis since 1987. Oregon concludes up April with a pair of big invitationals, the Penn Relays April 25-27 in Philadelphia and the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational April 28. The annual Oregon Twilight wraps up the regular season on May 3. The post season gets underway with the Pac-12 combined events May 4-5 at USC, with the main portion of the meet a week later, May 11-12. Texas will again host the NCAA West Regional Preliminary Rounds May 23-25 in Austin. The NCAA Championships come to Hayward Field June 5-8 for the 11th time in its storied history. Only Chicago, which hosted 13 times in the first half of the last century, has hosted more NCAA Championship meets than TrackTown. For the indoor season, the men and the three-time defending NCAA champion women will open the 2013 schedule at the Blue & Orange Opener Jan. 12 in Nampa, Idaho. The Ducks then go to Seattle for the Jan. 25-26 UW Invitational and the Feb. 8-9 Husky Classic. Oregon will also venture to Fayetteville, Ark., Feb. 8-9 for the Tyson Invitational. Then it’s the MPSF Championships Feb. 22-23 at Washington, with a couple of last chance meets a week later. Arkansas will host the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships March 8-9 in Fayetteville, Ark.

MEN’S TEAM PREVIEW

Time to Shine The 2013 season will be somewhat unusual for the Men of Oregon in that the bulk of the team returns from 2012 and there are relatively few new faces vying for spots. The Ducks’ biggest loss to graduation from 2012 was All-American distance start Luke Puskedra, and Oregon will also have to fill in some holes left by solid Pac-12 scorers Eric Hersey (hurdles), Brian Schaudt (triple jump), Travis Stanford (800), Travis Thompson (800, relays), Bryan Harper (400, relays), Chris Kwiatkowski (10,000) and Danny Marconi (high jump). But an overwhelming majority of Oregon’s conference point scorers - including all four Pac-12 champions return for 2013 as the Ducks look to extend their remarkable run of league championships to seven. The young Ducks will be led by defending Pac-12 champs Dakotah Keys (decathlon), Johnathan Cabral (110 hurdles), Sam Crouser (javelin) and Elijah Greer (800). All but Greer are entering their just sophomore seasons. Greer, now a senior, represents the veteran leadership of the team along with junior Mike Berry, who was the 2011 Pac-10 400 meter champion.

Mike Berry

While those five will provide frontline points for the Ducks, Oregon’s recent success can be traced to its depth. To that end, the team has an additional 18 Pac-12 scorers back in the fold for 2013. That number includes sophomores Colby Alexander (1,500), Arthur Delaney (100, 200, 4x100 relay), Alec Fellows (decathlon), Trevor Ferguson (110 hurdles), Russell Hornsby (800 meters), Chad Noelle (1,500 meters) and De’Anthony Thomas (4x100 relay), juniors Tim Costin (steeplechase), Trevor Dunbar (1,500, 5,000), Mac Fleet (1,500), Bory Guyota (800 meters), Tanner Harris (hammer), Dior Mathis (4x100 relay), Ethan Powell (javelin) and Parker Stinson (5,000, 10,000), and seniors Kevin Godfrey (decathlon), Joeal Hotchkins (100, 4x100 relay) and Austin Ouderkirk (pole vault). Fleet and Godfrey are both coming off redshirt seasons after having scored at the 2011 Pac-10 meet. There are some newcomers looking to get in the mix as well. Virginia transfers Kevin Anding (sprints), Brett Johnson (middle distance) and Patrick Todd (middle distance) all moved to Eugene for their senior seasons, while junior Nejmi Burnside came from South Carolina to help shore up the hurdles. Freshman to watch include Bradley Laubacher in the high jump and Ryan Hunter-Simms and T.J. Brassil in the throws, as well as redshirt freshmen Greg Skipper (hammer), Jeramy Elkaim (distance), Jack Galpin (sprints), Matt Jablonski (middle distance), Matthew Melancon (middle distance) and Ryan Pickering (distance).

Sprints/Hurdles/Relays Mike Berry blazed the way for the men in the quarter mile in 2012, and he’ll be looking for help from a number of up-and-coming sprinters in their second year in the program in 2013. Berry, a junior from Seattle, Wash., holds the 400 meter record at the University (44.75) and was the national runner-up at that distance at the NCAA meet a year ago. He’ll be joined by all-American and Pac-12 champion Johnathan Cabral (Calabasas, Calif.), who will pace the Ducks in the hurdles. Cabral was an NCAA and Olympic Trials qualifier in the 110 meter hurdles last spring. In his first season, he ran 13.45 in the 110 meter hurdles, fastest ever by a freshman and No. 2 all time at Oregon.

Johnathan Cabral

A number of veterans and newcomers are vying to be in the mix in the sprints. Pac-12 scorers Arthur Delaney and Joeal Hotchkins head that group. Delaney, a sophomore from Gresham, Ore., came on strong at the end of the outdoor season, taking third in both the 100 and 200 meters at the Pac-12 meet before advancing to the NCAA Championships in the 200. Hotchkins, a senior from Las Vegas, Nev., placed seventh in the 100 at the league meet. Among those looking to make the leap this year are senior Korey Brown (Hacienda Heights, Calif.), redshirt freshman Jack Galpin (Medford, Ore.) sophomore Jordan Latt (Tigard, Ore.) and senior Chris Stubbs (Eugene, Ore.). Middle distance star Elijah Greer (Lake Oswego, Ore.) was also a key on the 4x400 meter relay and could be joined there by Virginia transfer Kevin Anding. The Ducks could get an additional boost from football players De’Anthony Thomas, Dior Mathis and B.J. Kelley. Thomas and Mathis joined Delaney, Berry and Hotchkins on the 4x100 meter relay team that was the runner-up at the Pac-12 meet and advanced all the way to the national semifinals in Des Moines. South Carolina transfer Nejmi Burnside (Nassau, Bahamas) will join Cabral n the hurdles, as will sophomore Trevor Ferguson, a triple jumper who was a Pac-12 scorer in the 110 hurdles a season ago.

Middle Distance/Distance Oregon’s traditional strength in the distance and middle distances can again be found in the likes of senior Elijah Greer and juniors Trevor Dunbar and Parker Stinson. The Ducks also look forward to the continued development of a plethora of young runners looking to break through at the collegiate level. Greer (Lake Oswego, Ore.) ranks third only to Olympians Joaquim Cruz and Andrew Wheating in the 800 meters (1:45.06), a distance where he won the Pac-12 title and was third at the NCAA Championships in 2012.

Trevor Dunbar

MEN’S TEAM PREVIEW Backing Greer is a pair of distance runners, Dunbar and Stinson. Dunbar (Kodiak, Alaska) placed sixth in the 5,000 meters at the NCAA Championships, while Stinson was 10th. The remainder of Oregon’s distance group is filled out by talented runners looking to make the jump to the next level. Junior Boru Guyota (Portland, Ore.) and sophomore Russell Hornsby (Williamsburg, Va.) are both Pac-12 level performers at 800 meters, while sophomores Colby Alexander (Strongsville, Ohio) and Chad Noelle (Greene, N.Y.) reached that level at 1,500 meters. The Ducks also welcome junior Mac Fleet (San Diego, Calif.) back to the track. The school record in the indoor mile (3:57.70) returns to the track following a two-year absence. Others on the team include senior Hank Morrison (Carmel, Calif.), juniors Tim Costin (Springfield, Ore.), a Pac-12 scorer in the steeplechase, Ben DeJarnette (Mechanicsville, Va.), Mitch Hunt (Fremont, Neb.), Cole Watson (Rogue River, Calif.) and Daniel Winn (Portland, Ore.) and redshirt freshmen Chris Brewer (Vista, Calif.), Jeramy Elkaim (Livingston, N.J.), Matt Jablonski (Cockeysville, Md.), Matthew Melancon (Eugene, Ore.) and Ryan Pickering (West Palm Beach, Fla.). Newcomers include a pair of interesting transfers from Virginia in junior Brett Johnson and senior Patrick Todd, as well as senior Matt Miner (Dartmouth) and freshmen Chris Bray (Kyoto, Japan), Joe Holvey (Eugene, Ore.) and Trent Warren (Chula Vista, Calif.).

Jumps/Pole Vault The 2012 season saw the graduation of some of the most reliable jumpers in Oregon history such as Brian Schaudt and Danny Marconi, both of whom finished their careers ranked among the UO top 10 in at least one jump.

Elijah Greer

However, their departure opens the door for a number of youngsters to move to the forefront. The men’s jumps will be led by pole vaulter Austin Ouderkirk (Newport, Ore.), decathlete Dakotah Keys (Sweet Home, Ore.) and triple jumpers Trevor Ferguson (Oregon City, Ore.) and Tyler Pinkney (Everett, Wash.). All four are Pac-12 competitors, while Keys won the league’s decathlon title as a freshman in 2012. He’s also the Ducks’ top returning long jumper (23-11.75/7.31m). Ouderkirk, a senior, is a Pac-12 scorer in the pole vault with a PR at 16-10.25/5.14m. Ferguson, a sophomore, and Pinkney, a senior, are both 50-foot triple jumpers. In the high jump, the Ducks will look to prep state champion Bradley Laubacher from Bend, Ore. He cleared 6-10/2.08m last year for Summit High School. Other men to watch are senior Jordan Alviso (Granite Bay, Calif.) and freshmen Matt Hidalgo (Banks, Ore.) and Philippe Ueng (Temple City, Calif.) in the pole vault, while junior Caleb Kruse (Coos Bay, Ore.) returns in the triple jump.

Throws The Ducks look to continue to improve in the throws under the direction of new throws coach Erik Whitsitt. Pac-12 javelin champion Sam Crouser (Gresham, Ore.) leads the way after having won a silver medal at the U.S. Olympic Trials with a heave of 265-1/80.80m. That was the second-longest throw in school history. Freshman Greg Skipper (Oregon City, Ore.) looks to resume a promising hammer career that saw him throw 204-0/62.17m early in 2012 before an injury forced him to take a medical redshirt. Juniors Ethan Powell (Tenmile, Ore.) and Tanner Harris are Pac-12 scorers in the javelin and hammer, respectively, as both look to get closer to the national meet.

Sam Crouser

There could be a number of new faces throwing for the Ducks this spring, including freshmen Cameron Acosta (Portland, Ore.), T.J. Brassil (Clayton, Calif.), Ryan Hunter-Simms (Highland, Calif.) and Marcus McArdle (Independence, Ore.). Senior Miles Walk (Lilburn, Ga.) and sophomore Ron Perkins (Redmond, Ore.) could also see some action throughout the spring.

Decathlon The men boast Pac-12 decathlon champion Dakotah Keys as well as fellow conference scorers Alec Fellows and Kevin Godfrey. Keys, a sophomore from Sweet Home, Ore., was impressive in winning the decathlon as a freshman with 7,793 points. That was the seventh-best total in school history and he went on to earn All-America status at the NCAA Championships. Fellows, a sophomore from Woodway, Wash., finished eighth in the decathlon at the 2012 Pac-12 meet with 6,815 points. Godfrey, a senior from Roseburg, Ore., returns to the Ducks after redshirting the 2012 season with an injury. He was 6th at the 2011 league meet with 6,853 points. They will be joined by Blake Kemp, a freshman from Coos Bay, Ore., who redshirted the 2012 season. Triple jumper Trevor Ferguson is also a possible in the multi events.

WOMEN’S TEAM PREVIEW

Chasing a Championship Oregon has been the NCAA outdoor runners-up for four straight seasons. It’s a remarkable run unmatched in Oregon history. Yet it’s no secret that the women are still actively chasing the one thing that has eluded them during this latest golden era - an outdoor national title. This year’s team may be the most talented yet to make a run at the trophy when Historic Hayward Field hosts the NCAA meet June 5-8. It will be impossible to replace seven-time NCAA champion Brianne Theisen and the Ducks will also miss All-Americans Bronwyn Crossman (distance), Alex Kosinski (distance), Lauryn Newson (triple jump), Amber Purvis (sprints/relays) and Lanie Thompson (steeplechase). But factor in a collection of talent that spans across nearly all of the track and field disciplines, combined with a number of capable newcomers and the Ducks will be entertaining to watch in 2013. The middle distance group, led by All-Americans Jordan Hasay, Anne Kesselring, Becca Friday and Laura Roesler, may be without parallel. Hasay can also step up to the longer distances along with sophomore All-American Allie Woodward. Sprinter English Gardner is a budding superstar in the sport with Phyllis Francis and Chizoba Okodoge right behind her.

English Gardner

The Ducks also have depth in the field with Pac-12 scorers Lauren Crockett, Chancey Summers, Sammie Clark, Kortney Ross and Laura Bobek. There are Pac-12 champions across the board with Gardner (100, 200), Francis (400), Kesselring (800), Roesler (800) and Hasay (1,500). The list grows even deeper when expended to Pac-12 scorers. Bobek (discus), Clark (pole vault), Crockett (high jump), Alexandria Davidson (relays), Claudia Francis (800), Friday (800, 1,500), Okodogbe (400), Megan Patrignelli (1,500), Ross (pole vault), Summers (high jump), Taylor Wallace (steeplechase) and Woodward (5,000, 10,000) bring the total to 16 current Ducks who have scored at the league meet. That depth is supplemented by a wealth of new talent including throwers Liz Brenner, Brittany Mann and Jillian Weir, middle distance runners Annie Leblanc and Ashley Maton, distance runners Megan Fristoe and Abbey Leonardi, and sprinters and jumpers Ashante Horsley, Jenna Prandini and Jasmine Todd.

Sprints/Hurdles/Relays With NCAA champion English Gardner leading the way, the women exhibited great strength in the sprints during the 2012 season. With a number of roster additions, the Ducks look to be even better in the sprints this spring. It all starts with Gardner (Voorhees, N.J.), a junior who won the 2012 NCAA 100 meter title in 11.10 seconds. She’s also capable at 200 meters (22.82 outdoors), as the reigning Pac-12 champion in both the 100 and the 200, and even led off Oregon’s record-setting 4x400 meter relay at the 2012 NCAA championships.

Laura Roesler

Gardner is joined by all-American juniors Phyllis Francis (Queens, N.Y.), Chizoba Okodogbe (Antioch, Calif.) and Laura Roesler (Fargo, N.D.). Francis was fifth in the 400 meters at the 2012 NCAA meet and won the Pac-12 title at that distance, while all three are key members of the relay teams. They will be joined by senior Alexandria Davidson (senior, DuPont, Wash.). Newcomers for the women include freshmen Ashante Horsley (McMinnville, Ore.), Jenna Prandini (Clovis, Calif.) and Jasmine Todd (Chandler, Ariz.) Look for freshman Alyssa Monteverde (Fresno, Calif.) and sophomore Anetra Brown (Indianapolis, Ind.) in the hurdles.

Middle Distance/Distance The calling card for the success of the Ducks’ women’s team has been the distances and middle distances. Oregon has been able to load up on points between 800 and 10,000 meters, especially at the conference level, and the vast majority of those points return for 2013 in senior runners Jordan Hasay, Becca Friday and Anne Kesselring and junior Laura Roesler. Combined, those four runners own 4 NCAA titles, 6 Pac-12 titles and 38 All-American honors. Hasay (Arroyo Grande, Calif.) was the 2011 NCAA indoor champ in both the mile and 3,000 meters and is the three-time defending league champion in the 1,500 meters. She was third in the 1,500 at the 2012 NCAA meet.

Anne Kesselring

18


WOMEN’S TEAM PREVIEW Kesselring (Nurnberg, Germany) is a former NCAA and Pac-12 outdoor 800 meter champion. Friday has been a gritty performer since day one for the Ducks. The Bellingham, Wash., native was ninth nationally in the 1,500 meters in 2012. Roesler (Fargo, N.D.) is looking to defend her Pac-12 title in the 800, while also improving upon her fourth place NCAA finish in the event. Those four are joined by a number of talented and experienced runners. Sophomore Claudia Francis (Queens, N.Y.) is an NCAA qualifier 800 meters. Sophomore Allie Woodward (Green Bay, Wis.) impressed as an All-American in both the 5,000 and 10,000 meters last spring. Other returners in the distance group include sophomore Molly Grabill (Poway, Calif.) and juniors Megan Patrignelli (Monroe, N.Y.) and Sarah Penney (Paradise Valley, Ariz.). Seniors Taylor Wallace (Klamath Falls, Ore.) and Katie Conlon (Jamestown, N.D.) will handle the bulk of the steeplechase duties for the Ducks after school record-holder Lanie Thompson had to forego her final season of eligibility due to a chronic back condition. Newcomers to the distance group include freshmen Skylar Evans (Crozier, Va.), Megan Fristoe (Bend, Ore.), Annie Leblanc (Repentigny, Quebec), Abbey Leonardi (Kennebunkport, Maine) and Ashley Maton (Bend, Ore.).

Jumps/Pole Vault The 2012 season saw the graduation of some of the most consistent jumpers in Oregon history such as Lauryn Newson and Rebecca Rhodes, in addition to the multitalented Brianne Theisen. However, their departure should be buffeted by the development of a number of youthful jumpers.

Jordan Hasay

The Ducks saw solid contributions last season from Lauren Crockett (Ogden, Utah) and Chancey Summers (Eagle Creek, Ore.) in the high jump and Sammie Clark (North Bend, Ore.) and Kortney Ross (San Diego, Calif.) in the pole vault. Crockett and Summers, both sophomores, broke into the Ducks’ outdoor high jump record book last season – Summers at 6-0/1.83m and Crockett at 5-10.75/1.80m. Clark, a junior, was a pleasant surprise in the pole vault last season with a PR of 13-5.25/4.10m. Ross, also a junior, peaked at the Pac-12 outdoor meet a year ago where she tied for fourth at 13-4.5/4.08m. In the triple jump, senior Maggie Pietka (Vancouver, Wash.) has been a consistent force during her career and is on the verge of cracking Oregon’s career top-10 in the event. Beyond those five veterans, the Ducks will look to younger jumpers to bolster their roster. Some of the more anticipated newcomers include freshmen Jenna Prandini, a dynamic jumper from Clovis, Calif., who redshirted a season ago, Jasmine Todd from Chandler, Ariz., and Madelayne Varela from Kent, Wash.

Throws New throws coach Erik Whitsitt has the Duck women on the rise for 2013. Junior Laura Bobek leads an intriguing group of throwers that includes newcomers Brittany Mann and Jillian Weir. Bobek (Astoria, Ore.) looks to carry a strong 2012 outdoor season into 2013. Bobek saw big improvements in the spring where she cracked the school’s top ten list in the discus by scoring at the Pac-12 meet (170-6/51.96m). She also hit an all conditions best of 47-8/14.53m in the shot put. Weir, a sophomore transfer from Long Beach State, had a remarkable fall and could be a pleasant surprise for the Ducks. She had a shot put best of 46-11/14.30m competing unattached last spring. Mann (Beverly Hills, Mich.) looks to be able to contribute right out of high school with top prep marks of 165-2 in the discus and 44-7 in the shot put.

Phyllis Francis

Redshirt freshman Liz Brenner (Portland, Ore.) could also provide a significant boost for the Ducks when she joins the team following the basketball season. Track and field will be the fourth varsity sport at Oregon for the multi-talented athlete who had prep bests of 155-11 in the javelin and 45-11 in the shot put. The women also have depth on the roster in sophomores Daphne Chambers (Springfield, Ore.) and Lauren Sens (Elk Grove, Calif.), freshmen Katie Gruys (Maple Lake, Minn.) and Annie Whitfield (Sweet Home, Ore.) and juniors Felicia Odle (Camas, Wash.) and Rachel Sherrell (Parkdale, Ore.).

Heptathlon Oregon’s women will be hard pressed to replace the loss of Boweman Trophy finalist and seven-time NCAA champion Brianne Theisen. The women will look to redshirt freshman Alyssa Monteverde to take over Theisen’s spot. Monteverde, from Fresno, Calif., got off to a promising start in 2012, including an 18-0.25/5.49m long jump at the indoor opener, before an injury sidelined her for the rest of the season. High jumper Lauren Crockett may also get a look in the heptathlon.

Robert Johnson 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 2012. He is in his eighth season overall with the Ducks. His leadership was evident immediately upon taking the helm of the most storied programs in collegiate track and field when he set forth the framework that led to the Women of Oregon winning the 2012 cross country national championship for the first time in 25 years. The Ducks also captured Pac-12 and West Regional titles for the first time since 1987 as Johnson was honored at the national and conference coach of the year. Johnson has helped lead the remarkable resurgence of a women’s program that has won three straight NCAA Indoor national titles and four consecutive Pac-12 championships. The Duck women have also finished as the national outdoor runners-up four years in a row. He has been just as instrumental to a men’s team that has won six straight league titles and boasts an NCAA Indoor title and NCAA outdoor runner-up finish in 2009. He has coached Oregon student-athletes to the U.S. junior women’s record in the 100 meters (11.03) as well as NCAA titles at 100 meters and the indoor 60 meters. He has also mentored three national championship 4x400 meter relay teams. One of his first recruits, 400 meter record holder Keshia Baker, was a gold medalist in the 4x400 meter relay at the 2012 London Olympics for Team USA.

Johnson’s charges have broken all but one indoor and outdoor school women’s record in the sprints, relays and horizontal jumps. On the men’s side, Johnson watched Mike Berry break the school’s 41 year-old record in the 400 meters as a freshman in 2011 and Berry has since improved his time to 44.75. Johnson has twice been named the national women’s indoor track and field coach of the year, 2011-12, as well as the national women’s assistant of the year (2010 indoors). Recent seasons have seen the emergence of English Gardner, Oregon’s first ever NCAA champion at both 100 and 60 meters. She was named the 2012 Pac-12 Track Athlete of the Year and the 2011 Freshman of the Year after setting U.S. Junior, Pac-10 meet and school records when she timed 11.03 in winning the 2011 league 100 meter title. She broke the American record held by Angela Williams of USC and the Pac-10 mark held by Gail Devers. Duck women also captured league title at in the 4x400 meter relay. A year later at the NCAA Championships, not only did she win the 100, but she led off the 4x400 meter relay team that won in a meet record 3:24.54, the second-fastest time in collegiate history. At the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Championships, quarter-miler Mike Berry was one of the many highlights. He won the Pac-10 title in a then-school record 44.91 before going on to finish third at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and fifth at the USA Championships. He improved that to a runner-up finish at the 2012 NCAA meet. During the 2010 season, women’s school records fell in the 200 and 400 meters, both relays and the long and triple jumps. Oregon scored a meet-record 215 points at the 2010 Pac-10 Championships, with victories at 100 and 200 meters by Amber Purvis, the long jump and the triple jump by Jamesha Youngblood and the 400 meters by Baker, her third straight win. The Ducks also captured the 4x100 meter relay. That led to a runner-up finish at the 2010 NCAA Championships, where Baker and Purvis led Oregon to its first-ever NCAA 4x400 meter relay title in a then-school record 3:28.54. Mandy White took 10th in the 100 meters to become the University’s first-ever AllAmerican in the event. Indoors, 2010 was even better as the Ducks captured their first women’s NCAA Indoor Track & Field national title. Oregon punctuated its victory by winning the 4x400 meter relay for the first time in school history. The Ducks also counted a runner-up finish by Baker in the 400, a third-place finish from the distance medley relay team and a fourth-place showing from Purvis in the 200. Indoor UO record marks came at 60, 200 and 400 meters, in both relays and the long jump. The 2009 team, led by Pac-10 champions and All-Americans Baker and Youngblood, broke 12 indoor and outdoor school records in the sprints, relays and vertical jumps and captured three Pac-10 individual titles along the way. Baker won her second consecutive Pac-10 title at 400 meters and finished fifth at the NCAA Championships. Youngblood became the first Duck to sweep the long jump and triple jump competition at the league championships, and set school records in both events. Both were also indoor All-Americans. The 2009 season also saw three of the women’s four relay marks also fell. The men’s horizontal jumps have also taken a step forward under Johnson with Vernell Warren scoring in both the long jump and high jump at the Pac-10 Championships and qualifying for two consecutive NCAA Championships in recent seasons, while Brian Schaudt enteterd the top-10 in the triple jump in 2011. In 2008, Johnson, himself a two-time All-American triple jumper, helped launch Youngblood’s career as she set the school’s indoor long jump record and recorded the second-best outdoor triple jump and No. 3 long jump in school history. Johnson also coached Baker to the 2008 Pac-10 400 meter title, becoming the first Duck to win that event since Camara Jones in 1995. During the 2007 winter season, Lauryn Jordan scored All-America honors in UO’s first ever NCAA indoor long jump appearance after raising the indoor school record three times during the season. Before his work with Oregon, Johnson oversaw UCLA’s highly-regarded high jump, long jump and triple jump units, and also coordinated its strength and conditioning program. In that short span, his Bruin men and women combined for one NCAA title, one U.S. runner-up finish, two Pac-10 titles, and eight All-America honors. His star pupils included collegiate triple jump record holder Candice Baucham — the 2005 NCAA outdoor champion and U.S. runner-up. Baucham led the U.S. outdoor list in the triple jump with her winning mark and school record from the NCAA Championships (46-2). That mark established an American NCAA meet record and also moved her to third alltime in American history. In his first season in Westwood in 2004, Juaune Armon posted All-America long jump honors both outdoors (fifth) and indoors (fourth). Ranked fifth all-time for the Bruins with a best of 26-3, he also placed eighth in the Olympic Trials and was the Pac-10 Champion. As an Appalachian State assistant coach from 1997-2003, Johnson coached 28 individual Southern Conference champions and 14 NCAA qualifiers in the long jump, triple jump, 55 meters and 100 meters. He mentored the school’s first All-America jumper—Ronda White—an outdoor triple jump All-American in 2003, along with two Southern Conference Freshmen of the Year and two Southern Conference Athletes of the Year. As an athlete, Johnson also competed for Appalachian State, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1996, and was a two-time triple jump All-American (1995, ’96), NCAA high jump qualifier (1996) and school high jump record holder (7-1 3/4). He competed in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Trials. He and his wife Jackie, a former UO volunteer assistant, reside in Eugene.

Andy Powell Responsible for Oregon’s cross country, middle distance and distance runners, associate head coach for track and field and cross country Andy Powell is in his eighth year with the University. Powell, working in conjunction with the staff in the training of the men’s and women’s distance runners, ensures that all student-athletes receive extensive individual attention, assists in recruiting all middle distance/distance runners, and oversees administrative functions related to the conduct of a successful cross country program — including team travel, equipment and assisting with the Bill Dellinger Invitational. He has coached some of the most successful runners in recent Oregon history, like Matthew Centrowitz, Galen Rupp and Andrew Wheating. Centrowitz ran to a third-place finish in the 1,500 meters at the 2011 IAAF World Championships, and a year later, placed fourth in a thrilling London Olympics 1,500 meter final. Powell has helped Oregon capture back-to-back NCAA Men’s Cross Country championships in 2007-08 plus the runner-up trophy in 2009, its first-ever NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship in 2009 followed by a second-place showing in 2010, and a second-place trophy at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships and a third-place finish in 2010. Oregon has also captured six straight men’s Pac-10 titles.

Cross Country

The 2012 season marked the final year of seven-time All-American Luke Puskedra’s brilliant career, but also the beginning of sophomores Trevor Dunbar and Parker Stinson, both of who claimed All-America honors. The 2011 season saw Centrowitz win both the NCAA Outdoor and USA Championships title at 1,500 meters and also saw All-American performances from Elijah Greer (800 meters), Puskedra (10,000 meters), Steve Finley (3,000 meter steeplechase) and A.J. Acosta (1,500 meters). Centrowitz also captured his third straight Pac-10 title at 1,500 meters, while Finley took the steeplechase crown. In the fall, Puskedra was the third place finisher at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. In 2010, Powell helped guide Andrew Wheating’s remarkable double at the NCAA Championships, where the 2008 Olympian became the first man in 25 years to win both the 800 and 1,500 meters. Wheating also anchored the Ducks’ indoor distance medley relay national title, and was also part of Oregon’s dramatic 1-23 sweep in the NCAA Outdoor 1,500 meters. Wheating captured his third straight Pac-10 800 title, while Centrowitz took his second consecutive league 1,500 meter title as the Ducks won an unprecedented fourth straight league championship. A year earlier, Powell played an important role in mentoring perhaps the best individual season in the history of men’s collegiate distance running. Rupp became the first person ever to win six distance races during the same academic year. Rupp was the 2008 NCAA individual cross country champion, the 2009 NCAA Indoor 3,000 and 5,000 meter champion, the 2009 NCAA Outdoor 5,000 and 10,000 meter champion, and anchored Oregon’s winning Indoor distance medley relay team. He was also the Pac-10 cross country medalist and won the league’s 10,000 meter title and capped his collegiate career by winning the title at the USA Track and Field Championships at Historic Hayward Field. He was named the USTFCCCA and Pac-10 Division I men’s track athlete of the year and was also honored as the NCAA Division I Academic All-American of the Year for all sports. On the track, the Oregon men continued to amass honors on the individual and team fronts. Wheating won his NCAA first title at 800 meters in 2009 to go along with Rupp’s six distance wins, while the distance crew counted Pac-10 wins from Wheating (800), Rupp (10,000), Chris Winter (Steeplechase) and a 1-2-3 sweep in the 1,500 meters led by Centrowitz, Rupp and Wheating. In all the distance runners tallied 79 points towards Oregon’s school-record 158 point total and third straight Pac-10 crown. The 2009 season also saw Oregon garner All-America honors at 800, 5,000 and 10,000 meters outdoors, and in the indoor 800 meters, mile, 3,000 meters, 5,000 meters and distance medley relay. Rupp set the American indoor record at 5,000 meters (13:18.12) and the American indoor collegiate record at 3,000 meters (7:44.69) as the team men broke every school indoor mark between 800 and 5,000 meters, plus the distance medley record. Not surprisingly, Oregon was named the USTFCCCA’s Division I program of the year for 2009. The year before served as a precursor to the remarkable 2008-09 season. Wheating won 11 consecutive races before finishing second by .01 in the men’s 800 meters final of the most exciting race of the entire 2008 NCAA Track and Field Championships. Rupp meanwhile finished second in the 10,000 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials to qualify for his first Olympic Games. In 2007, Rupp earned a World Championships 10,000 meters invitation after he placed second in the USA and NCAA Championships — an event he raced to an American collegiate record during the season (27:33.48). Postseason success is nothing new to Powell who served as a volunteer coach at Columbia University during the 2004-05 season and worked with distance coach and director of track and field Willie Wood. While Powell was at Columbia, Karl Dusen improved his personal best by more than a minute in the 10,000 meters en route to a school record (29:00.45) and later placed 21st in his NCAA debut. In the 1,500 meters, Gerry Groothuis ran a school record during the season (3:44.01). As a Stanford athlete, Powell stood out as one of the nation’s top middle distance runners. He still ranks among the school’s all-time best in the 1,500 meters (3:40.65) and just missed an Olympic Trials bid with the nation’s top freshman mark that season. That same campaign, he competed on the Cardinal’s NCAA champion track and field squad and added eighth in the Pac-10 Championships 5,000 meters (14:18.75) as Stanford took second as a team. In cross country, he ran on the Cardinal team that finished fourth in the NCAA Championships in 2000 and won the Pac-10 title. As a prep at Oliver Ames High School in North Easton, Mass., near Boston, he won U.S. junior titles as a senior in the 1,500 meters (3:49.81) and 5,000 meters (14:51.81) after he ran a state mile record of 4:02.7. The Foot Locker Cross Country qualifier also won titles as a high school athlete in the Pan American Junior Championships, Golden West Invitational, and Millrose Games. His wife Maurica Powell is an assistant coach for the Ducks and was a decorated Stanford middle distance runner and All-American. The couple have two sons.

Jamie Cook Jamie Cook, a 10-year Ivy League veteran coach and a former Big Ten decathlon champion, joined the Oregon staff in the summer of 2010. Cook oversees the men’s and women’s combined events as well as the men’s and women’s high jump, hurdles and pole vault. In 2012, Cook coached a pair of Pac-12 champions in Dakotah Keys (decathlon) and Johnathan Cabral (110 hurdles). He also oversaw Pac-12 women’s high jump scorers Lauren Crockett and Chancey Summers, men’s 110 hurdle scorers Eric Hersey and Trevor Ferguson and men’s pole vault scorer Austin Ouderkirk. Those performances were instrumental in Oregon winning its sixth straight Pac-12 men’s title and fourth straight women’s crown.

Keys, Cabral and Crockett - all freshmen - advanced to the NCAA Championships, where Keys and Cabral both earned All-America honors. Cabral posted the second-fastest 110 hurdle time in school history, 13.45, while Keys hit No. 7 on the decathlon list (7,793 points). Crockett cleared the sixth-best bar in school history in the high jump (1.80m/5-10.75), while Summers, also a freshman in 2012, made the 6-0 (1.83m) barrier for the No. 4 jump all-time at Oregon. Cook also worked with Brianne Theisen, who won both the NCAA indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon title, as well as the Pac-12 heptathlon crown. She set the collegiate and Canadian record in the pentathlon (4,555 points) and set the NCAA meet mark with 6,440 points in the heptathlon - the second-best score in collegiate history - before going on to the London Olympics to represent Team Canada. Theisen led the Ducks to their third consecutive NCAA indoor title and fourth straight NCAA outdoor runner-up finish. Indoors, Cabral was the MPSF 60 meter champion and ran 7.83, the third-fastest time in school history. Keys was the MPSF runner-up in the heptathlon with 5,660 points, also the third-best at Oregon. Keys, Cabral and Summers also qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. Cook’s first year with the program in 2011 produced immediate results. His efforts helped David Klech become a two-time All-American and he played a crucial role in the Ducks’ fifth straight men’s Pac-10 title. The Women of Oregon were just as successful with their second straight NCAA Indoor national title, third straight Pac-10 crown and third straight NCAA Outdoor runner-up trophy. Klech, who had never competed in a combined event prior to 2011, opened the year by finishing sixth in the heptathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Outdoors, Klech was the Pac-10 runner-up in the decathlon and then went on to take third in the long jump and fifth in the 110 meter hurdles to account for 18 team points. Klech went on to finish 16th in the decathlon at the NCAA Championships to earn his second All-America honors of 2011. He had UO top-10 marks in the decathlon (7,581), heptathlon (5,831), 110 meter hurdles (13.82) and 60 meter hurdles (7.88) in 2011. Duck jumpers and hurdlers also played an important role in the 2011 league title with Ouderkirk taking second in the pole vault and Justin Frick fourth in the high jump. Frick would go on to clear 7-3.75/2.23m later in the summer. Cook also helped guide Theisen to the 2011 NCAA Indoor title in the pentathlon where the Ducks claimed their second straight national title. Theisen scored an NCAA meet record 4,540 points to win the title. Prior to Oregon, Cook was been the top men’s assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania from 200110. During his tenure with the Quakers, Cook coached 64 Ivy League champions, oversaw seven school records, and helped Penn capture a pair of team titles (2001-02). The Quakers placed 11th at the 2003 NCAA Championships. He was also the combined events coordinator for the prestigious Penn Relays for 10 years. In conjunction with his coaching duties, Cook developed training programs with an emphasis on speed development that have been used by Olympians, as well as players from the NFL, Major League Baseball and English Premier Soccer League. Cook’s speed training was also utilized by Penn’s reigning Ivy League champion football team. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Off the track, Cook played a key role in Penn’s track and field alumni relations, which helped lead to the establishment of a $1,000,000 endowment in 2003 and saw an annual fundraising total of $250,000 in 2010. Prior to joining the Quakers’ staff, Cook was a three-time All-American in the decathlon for Penn State from 1995-98, where he was also a Big Ten, IC4A and Penn Relays champion in the multi-events during his collegiate career. Cook was additionally honored as a three-time Academic All-American while competing for the Nitany Lions. He was a 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials competitor in the decathlon, and competed in six USA Track & Field combined events (decathlon/indoor heptathlon) from 2002-05. Cook also represented the United States versus Germany in the Decathlon Duel of 2003. His personal best in the decathlon of 7,853 points came during his 2004 Olympic Trials year. Cook graduated from Penn State with a degree in kinesiology in 1999 and then in 2006, completed his work in the executive education program at Penn’s Wharton School of Business with a concentration in finance/ accounting. Jamie and his wife Kristin are the parents of two children, a son and a daughter.

Maurica Powell Returning for her seventh season at Oregon, Maurica Powell has become one of the most well-respected distance coaches in the nation. Her knowledge and commitment to the Duck runners ensures that all student-athletes receive extensive individual attention over the course of the track and cross country seasons. That commitment to her runners paid off in the fall of 2012 when she and head coach Robert Johnson led Oregon to the NCAA Women’s Cross Country national championship. The Ducks were also Pac-12 and NCAA West Regional champions, capping the school’s most successful cross country season in a generation. Jordan Hasay, Alexi Pappas and Katie Conlon were all named All-Americans, while Hasay captured the West Region individual crown for the third year in a row. Among the many highlights during Powell’s tenure are a pair of NCAA Indoor women’s national titles (2010-11), three conference crowns and three NCAA Outdoor runner-up finishes (2009-10-11). She has also overseen individual national titles by Hasay (mile, 3,000 meters), Anne Kesselring (800) and Rebekah Noble (800), 12 individual conference event winners and 45 all-Americans.

The 2010-11 season was a memorable one for Powell and the Ducks, as Hasay led the team to the Indoor national title with her wins at the mile and 3,000 meters. Hasay was also the Pac-10 individual cross country and 1,500 meter champion during the 2010-11 year. The 2011 outdoor season also produced another Pac-10 title, including a pair of wins from Hasay in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters, and concluded with another NCAA Outdoor runner-up finish. For the third straight year, the Ducks were named the USTFCCCA’s Division I women’s national program of the year. During the 2009-10 campaign, Powell helped steer Oregon to its first-ever women’s NCAA Indoor Track & Field national title as the distance corps tallied points in the distance medley relay (second), mile (Jordan Hasay, fourth; Anne Kesselring, sixth) and 3,000 meters (Nicole Blood, fifth). That success continued outdoors with a dominating Pac-10 championship that saw Oregon win every race from 100 to 10,000 meters, plus the steeplechase. Among those winners were Kesselring in the 800, Zoe Buckman in the 1,500 meters, Blood in both the 5,000 and 10,000 meters and Claire Michel, who became Oregon’s first league 3,000 meter steeplechase champion. The success carried over into the NCAA Championships with a trio of third-place finishes - Hasay in the 1,500, Kosinski in the 5,000 and Blood in the 10,000 - plus Kesselring’s sixth-place showing in the 800 that led to the Ducks’ second-straight national runner-up finish. The academic year began with Blood winning the 2009 Pac-10 cross country individual title, Oregon’s first conference medalist in 17 years. For the second straight year, the Ducks were named the USTFCCCA’s Division I women’s national program of the year. The 2008-09 season marked a return to prominence for the Women of Oregon with a second-pace showing at the 2008 NCAA Cross Country Championships, a tie for ninth at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, and their highest finish in a quarter century at the NCAA Outdoor Championships where they captured the silver trophy. The women also won their first Pac-10 track title in 17 years and took second again in cross country as Oregon was named the USTFCCCA’s Division I women’s national program of the year. The distance runners proved vital in Oregon’s Pac-10 track and field triumph with Buckman winning at 800 meters and Blood running second in the 5,000 meters. There was no shortage of All-America winners for the women either in 2008-09. Alex Kosinski ran eighth and Blood 10th at the NCAA Cross Country Championships to give Oregon a pair of top 10 finishers for just the second time in school history. Mattie Bridgmon joined Blood and Kosinski as cross country All-Americans and Kosinski became the first Duck to win the NCAA West Regional in 14 years. Indoors, Oregon’s school-record setting distance medley relay team garnered All-America honors, as did Blood in both the mile and 3,000 meters. Outdoors, Blood was the national runner-up at 5,000 meters, while Bridgmon was an All-America selection at 10,000 meters. During the spring of 2008, Blood was the Pac-10 champion at 5,000 meters and earned All-America honors in that event, while Buckman was an All-American in the 800. In the Ducks’ second-straight NCAA cross country runner-up showing in 2008, Powell worked with three runners who earned All-America honors in Kosinski, Blood and Bridgmon. In 2007, Noble repeated her NCAA indoor 800 meter runner-up honors, then received her fourth 800 All-America honor that June. That fall, led by Blood and Kosinski, the squad won runner-up honors at the NCAA Championships. On the track in 2006, the women’s distance unit celebrated a pair of All- America efforts in the NCAA Indoor Championships by Noble (800 meters, second) and the distance medley relay (seventh). Three months later, Noble became the first freshman to win an NCAA title in the outdoor 800 meters. Before her arrival at Oregon, Powell made an impact as a graduate assistant coach at Columbia University for the 2004-05 season. The Lions’ touted women’s distance program enjoyed a breakthrough season with its 13th-place finish in the 2004 NCAA Cross Country Championships, led by Caroline Bierbaum who took third individually in the collegiate harrier finale, and second outdoors in 2005 in the NCAA 10,000 meters (33:03.37). During the outdoor regular season, Bierbaum ranked first nationally in the 10,000 meters (32:44.51) and senior Delilah DeCrescenzo stood second nationally in the steeplechase (10:06.88) before she claimed ninth in the NCAA finale. While she coached the Lions, Powell studied as a social work graduate student and worked with disadvantaged Harlem junior high and high school youth. A middle distance star for Stanford University from 1998-2002, Powell still ranks in the top 10 all-time for Stanford in the indoor 800 meters (third, 2:07.51) and outdoor 800 meters (ninth, 2:06.63) and 1,500 meters (eighth, 4:16.51), and was an All-American in 2002 in the 1,500 meters (fifth, 4:16.51) and indoor distance medley relay (1,200 meter leadoff leg, third overall, 11:09.23). In the Pac-10 Championships, she was a threetime scorer in the 800 meters and also placed in the 1,500 meters as a junior and senior. She took seventh in the 800 meters as a freshman in the 1999 U.S. Junior Championships. In high school, the Boston-area native was a six-time state track champion for Franklin High School in Franklin, Mass. Powell and her husband, UO associate head coach Andy Powell, have two sons..

HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD

Phil Knight Oregon Track ’57, ’58, ’59 “People often ask me how good of a runner he really was,” said Jim Grelle, the best American collegiate miler from 1957-59, of his Oregon teammate Phil Knight. “And I always tell them, ‘he sure was, he lettered at Oregon three years in a row,’ which, if you know anything about the history of running at Oregon, should be more than sufficient to answer the question.” Grelle, Knight, Bill Dellinger and Jim Bailey composed the core of Oregon’s impressive mile and half-mile runners in the late 1950s, one of the golden eras for the Men of Oregon. Under the tutelage of legendary coach Bill Bowerman, Grelle would win the 1959 NCAA and Pacific Coast Conference championships in the mile, after finishing second in 1957 and ’58. “Phil was always quiet about what he was doing, but he was also such a competitor; he still is,” said Grelle, a three-time All-American in the mile. “He always ran well and got better all three years.” Knight helped Oregon defeat Washington State by winning the mile in their 1958 dual meet. In fact, Knight and his teammates went undefeated in duals, 14-0, during his career at Oregon. In all, Knight recorded 13 top-three finishes in the mile during his Oregon career. The man who would later become the Co-Founder of Nike, was also an important member of the Ducks’ relay teams. He ran the third leg for the squad that captured the 1958 Northern Division distance medley relay championship. As a senior in 1959, he first helped the Ducks capture another Northern Division crown in the two-mile relay, and then ran the lead leg for the distance medley team that won the race at the 1959 Drake Relays in a then meet-record time.

Two Men and a Handshake Following his running career at Oregon, Knight became inspired by the notion that quality athletic shoes might be found in Japan for much less than the expensive German products, which were the only athletic shoes available to American runners at the time. Knight eventually received distribution rights for Japan’s Tiger running shoes. Though it took more than a year for him to receive the first Tiger sample shoes, he immediately sent two pairs to his former track coach, hoping to make a sale and to gain the potentially powerful endorsement of Bowerman. He got much more. Bowerman, a shoe designer himself, wrote back to Knight that they should become partners. Knight would run the business, while Bowerman would provide design ideas. They shook hands on January 25, 1964, and Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS) was born. By 1966, the early version of what would become the iconic Bowerman-designed Cortez running shoe had taken shape. Other shoe models would follow, and BRS’s territory until it was the exclusive national distributor for Tiger’s running shoe business. “I came back and sold shoes for Blue Ribbon Sports in 1965,” said Grelle, who ran 21 sub-4:00 miles during his career. “I was really impressed with Phil’s company and his drive to make it a success. I think how he learned to compete in races was exactly like how he had learned to compete in life.” In 1971, Knight asked Carolyn Davidson, a graphic arts student at Portland State University, to draw up a few potential brand marks. Ultimately, he selected a crescent-shaped mark that today is one of the world’s most recognized brands, the “Swoosh.” Jeff Johnson, the first full-time employee Knight had hired, awoke one morning with an inspiration for the name of the new company—“Nike” goddess of victory in Greek mythology. By February 1972, BRS had prepared an entire line of shoes under the Nike name, including a Nike Cortez, Bruin, Blazer and Boston. At the same time, Bowerman had been working on a new rubber sole pattern inspired by the family waffle iron. At the 1972 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in Eugene, runners got their first glimpse of the new “Waffle” sole. And the rest, as they say….

HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD

A Legend Reborn At the heart of Eugene’s successful bids for the 2008 and 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Historic Hayward Field is the nation’s most impressive track and field venue. And there is no place on earth like TrackTown USA. The 2008 Trials were an unmitigated success that could have only happened here; the magical performances, the heart-stopping moments, the records, the drama, the joy, the tears. All of which played out for the nation to watch before the most appreciative home to track and field in the world. The 2012 Trials not only matched that success, but exceeded it in every way imaginable, cementing the community’s status as TrackTown USA. The 2008 Trials marked only the beginning of the legendary venue’s rebirth. In the coming years, TrackTown USA will be the epicenter of the nation’s most prestigious championship meets. The NCAA Championships will return to Eugene for the 2013 and 2014 events, while the IAAF World Junior Championships will be held at Hayward Field in 2014, a first on U.S. soil. In 2011, the USA Track & Field Championships were contested at Hayward Field for the second time in three years. In 2010, Track Town, USA welcomed the NCAA Championships for the 10th time since 1962—the most of any venue in modern history. The University of Oregon’s Hayward Field, one of the most famous track and field facilities in the world, is named for Bill Hayward, who coached the University of Oregon’s men’s team from 1904-1947. Hayward Field was initially constructed for football in 1919. Two years later, a six-lane cinder track was installed and track events were transferred from Kincaid Field on the opposite edge of campus. The facility was utilized for both sports until the opening of Autzen Stadium in 1967. The stadium has undergone significant improvements in modern history; in 2008 a new track surface, stadium lights, a remarkable video board and newly configured infield were unveiled. The birth of track and field on the University of Oregon campus dates back to 1895. The student body (then numbering 353) built a quarter-mile dirt track at Kincaid Field, now the site of 13th Avenue and Kincaid Street, to practice for their annual field day, held in conjunction with commencement exercises. In 1900, the Ducks started competing in dual meets against regional universities and opponents and sported a 13-3 record in their first nine years—including an

HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD

As innovative and spectacular as the 2008 Olympic Trials were, they are just the beginning for Hayward Field, which will host the 2013 and 2014 NCAA Championships, the 2011 USA Track & Field Championships and the 2012 Olympic Trials.

The traditional “Victory Lap” undefeated stretch from 1906–09. The first upgrade to the Kincaid track came in 1904 when it was covered partially to facilitate inclement-weather practice and competition. By 1912 the sport had started to outgrow the facility, and the university started to explore other possibilities. Although collegiate sports went on hiatus temporarily in 1917 because of the first World War, a full schedule of meets returned in 1919 – the same year Hayward Field was built for football. Two years later, a six-lane cinder track bordering the football playing field was installed for $10,000, including a 220-yard straightway on the east end of the track. Bleachers were transferred from Kincaid Field, and in 1925, the wooden east grandstand was added. In 1928, the students paid to cover the bleachers on the north end that remained until 1950. With the construction of Autzen Stadium for football in 1967, Hayward Field became a trackonly venue. One of the stadium’s most famous former features was its south end bleachers that obscured nearly a quarter of the track. Oregon runners and eventual Olympians Otis Davis and Wade Bell were famed for trailing the field as they disappeared behind the bleachers, only to soon emerge into daylight with a commanding lead. The cinder track lasted until 1970 when the facility received its first all-weather surface. Five years later, the west grandstands were completely rebuilt to their current layout. The University of Oregon continues to update the classic facility as it looks to remain the nation’s preeminent track and field venue. In addition to the multi-million dollar renovation completed in preparation of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Historic Hayward Field has received additional improvements in the past two decades to further its reputation as a highperformance facility. The most eye-catching upgrade is the new video scoreboard, which displays high-definition video for instant replays and post-competition interviews with athletes and coaches. It can also display results and video simultaneously, which has tremendously increased the level of enjoyment experienced by the Hayward Field faithful. Powell Plaza—unveiled in 2005 to welcome fans into the fabled facility—details the Ducks’ rich track and field heritage and is named after the family of Lloyd Powell, a track teammate of Continued on p. 162

Together the meets offer the opportunity to transform the sport of track and field by elevating the experience for athletes, coaches, the media, and spectators. This exciting vision has been made possible through the generous support of individuals committed to celebrating the legendary past and bold future of historic Hayward Field. The University of Oregon is grateful to them for their leadership role in this effort and for fueling the flame of Track Town, USA.

HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD Continued from p. 161 former coach and athlete Bill Dellinger. The facility also welcomed a new four-lane, fully-lit 400-meter all-weather track that encircles six new tennis courts on the southwest edge of the track. A complete face-lift of the indoor practice area under the west grandstands was finished in the spring of 2006, and included a new urethane-coated competition surface, jump runways and pits, and several throwing rings. A pair of state-of-the-art underwater and anti-gravity treadmills were also installed to facilitate Oregon’s national-class athletic treatment facilities. The Bowerman Building was completed in 1992 and dedicated to Bill Bowerman and his family who donated funds necessary to construct the all-purpose building. The building houses an athletic treatment center, locker rooms and meeting rooms. Memorabilia and various exhibits commemorate great athletes, teams and moments of the program’s history. One of the biggest renovations to date came prior to the 1988 NCAA Championships with a two-year project to convert the track from a 440-yard dimension to a 400-meter oval with 85meter straightaways. To accommodate the size changes, the east grandstands were moved back to the east approximately 11 meters (or 35 feet, 9 1/2 inches).

Underwater Treadmill

The Pacific Northwest’s first indoor all-sport training facility, the Ed Moshofsky Center, is also available for all-weather conditioning. Runners, jumpers and throwers can train in the climatecontrolled, spacious environment on both sprint lanes and soft surfaces. Off the track, the Ducks’ nationally-renowned strength and conditioning program offers studentathletes a one-of-a-kind combination of coaches, venues and event-specific training programs. In 2007, a dynamic expansion of the University’s athletic treatment facilities was completed. The updated center offers 12,000 square feet of treatment and rehabilitative space, including state-of-the-art hydrotherapy amenities such as three Hydroworx underwater treadmills and three oversized hot and cold plunge pools. The space also includes comprehensive physician services, including a digital X-ray center and a fully equipped treatment area with top of the line therapeutic equipment and cardio stations to aid in efficient and prompt recovery. Student-athletes can also utilize an amazing new nutrition resource center for consultation and nutritional supplements. The University of Oregon’s Historic Hayward Field. Not only has the legend been reborn, but like the State’s motto, “She Flies with Her Own Wings.”

COACHING LEGENDS

Bill Hayward The father of Oregon track and field and its famous track and field facility, Bill Hayward was appropriately known as the ‘Grand Old Man’ during his 44-year career as a Duck coach. Born in Detroit, Mich., July 2, 1868, and raised in Toronto, Ont., he was known throughout both countries as an all-around star athlete comparable to the likes of Jim Thorpe. A member of the Ottawa Capitals world champion lacrosse team, he also was one of Canada’s fastest sprinters from 75 up to 600 yards. He was equally regarded as a national-class athlete in ice hockey, rowing, wrestling and boxing. The colorful yet cultured sportsman began his coaching career in 1898 as a Princeton assistant coach, then made another assistant stop at California. He next served as the head track and field coach at Pacific University (1901) and Albany College (1903), and his Albany track team even beat the Webfoots. He took the Oregon head track job in 1904, and also served as athletic trainer and basketball coach. He coached four track world record holders, six American record holders and nine Olympians, and assisted on U.S. Olympic teams from 1908-1932. Among his pupils, Dan Kelly broke the world record in the 100 yards (9.6) in 1906; went on to set the 220-yard record (21.1); and took the silver medal in the broad jump in the 1908 Olympic Games.

COACHING LEGENDS

Bill Bowerman Bill Bowerman was a man of many titles—Olympic head coach, Nike founder, army major, Oregon track and field head coach, inventor…the list could go on and on. But the one recurring theme was his restless innovation and unchecked passion for sport. Bowerman (born 2/19/11) began his coaching career as a football coach for one year at Franklin High School in Portland, then moved to Medford and coached track for nine years and football for seven years. But the Duck football and track letterwinner made his biggest mark as a track coach as his ‘Track Men of Oregon’ won 24 NCAA individual titles (with wins in 15 of the 19 events contested) and four NCAA team crowns (1962-64-65-70), and posted 16 top-10 NCAA finishes in his 24 years as head coach. His teams also boasted 33 Olympians, 38 conference champions and 64 All-Americans. At the dual level, the Ducks posted a 114-20 record and went undefeated in 10 seasons. At the Olympic level, he served as head coach of the U.S. team in 1972 and an assistant coach in 1968. Bowerman the inventor was equally renowned for his waffle-iron shoe soles still popular today, as well as his method of recycling old athletic shoes into surfacing for tracks. His love of coaching carried past his own athletes as he helped launch the U.S. running boom. After a 1962 trip to New Zealand he introduced the idea of jogging to the local masses, and even assigned his Duck athletes as mentors and coaches to local citizens. His 1967 book Jogging sold more than a million copies. Bowerman’s legacy as an outspoken leader was also forged off the track. He was a combat major of the 10th Mountain Ski Troops against the Germans in the Italian Alps in World War II (and earned the Bronze Star), then sparred in the ’70s with the Rajneeshees in Eastern Oregon. He even ran for state representative, following the lead of his father Jay who served as interim governor in 1910. In retirement, Bowerman stayed true to his roots. The Fossil, Ore., native resided in his Eugene home in the Coburg Hills, and stayed in the news with occasional advice on how to keep the sport vibrant. When nominated for the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1981, he declined stating that until Bill Hayward was elected, he didn’t deserve to be included. Before passing away on Christmas Eve, 1999, Bowerman returned to Fossil, the eastern Oregon town his great grandfather had founded in 1867, to close the last chapter of a legacy that will never be matched.

COACHING LEGENDS

Bill Dellinger Another Oregon original, Bill Dellinger proved the perfect choice to continue the storied Oregon legacy. The Grants Pass, Ore., native (born 3/23/34) made his name initially as one of Oregon’s greatest distance runners. From 1953-56, he was a twotime NCAA winner, three-time All-American and three-time conference champion. After college, he balanced a stint in the Air Force with postcollegiate training. By the end of his running career, he had added two world indoor records, six American records and three Olympic appearances (including a bronze in the 5,000 in 1964). Dellinger began his coaching career at Thurston High School, joined Lane Community College in 1967, then accepted the Oregon assistant coach position in 1968 and quickly established a reputation as one of America’s finest distance coaches. No U.S. distance runner made a bigger impact than his first star, Steve Prefontaine, but the legacy didn’t stop there. Mentoring such greats as Alberto Salazar, Rudy Chapa, Matt Centrowitz and Bill McChesney, Jr., his distance pupils broke 18 American records, made 17 Olympic appearances and won 12 NCAA individual track titles. In his 32 years as cross country head coach, the Ducks claimed four NCAA team titles, five runner-up honors and four third-place finishes, to go along with four individual titles and another runner-up finish. As a team, the Ducks continued their reputation as one of the nation’s deepest and most balanced units. At home at Hayward Field in 1984, the Ducks added their fifth NCAA track title and tallied 113 points — the highest NCAA total ever. At the conference level, his squads claimed four team titles and nine runner-up finishes. Individually, 23 Oregon runners combined for 41 cross country All-America honors, and 58 track athletes accounted for 105 track and field honors. Dellinger still lives in Eugene and has coached Olympic post-collegians Danny Lopez, Nick Rogers and Mary Slaney.

COACHING LEGENDS

Tom Heinonen A pioneer for three decades for the University of Oregon and NorPac and Pac-10 Conferences, former head coach Tom Heinonen helped guide the Duck women’s track and field team from its infancy into a full-fledged collegiate power in his 27 years as head coach. He retired after the 2003 season and was honored in his career as a threetime NCAA Coach of the Year, and eight-time Pac-10 Conference Coach of the Year. As a team, UO scored top-10 NCAA track and field finishes in seven of the meet’s first eight years, and won the NCAA title in 1985. At the conference level, Oregon won all four of the NorPac track and field team crowns from 1982-85, then finished top-two eight times in the first 10 years of the Pac-10’s existence, including league victories in 1991 and ’92. During his tenure, Duck individuals stockpiled 15 NCAA/AIAW titles, 108 AllAmerica honors and 55 Pac-10/NorPac Conference titles in track and field. His mark on the collegiate cross country scene is even more impressive. Only one other team bettered Oregon’s 24 national trips in his 28 years at the helm, and Duck individuals qualified three of the other four years. Over that span, Heinonen guided teams to NCAA wins in 1983 and 1987, to go along with three more second-place efforts among their amazing total of 18, top-10 national finishes. Duck individuals were equally decorated at the post-collegiate level, claiming three American records, 17 Olympic appearances, 10 World Championships invites, 12 U.S. national track and field titles, 22 World Championships cross country invites, and five U.S. cross country crowns. As an athlete, Heinonen enjoyed an equally successful career as a six-time All-America distance runner at the University of Minnesota. During his postcollegiate career, he was a three-time World Cross Country Championships competitor, a two-time Olympic Trials Marathon veteran, and the 1969 AAU marathon champion.

IN MEMORIAM

Steve Prefontaine Steve Prefontaine was born in Coos Bay, Oregon on January 25, 1951. Although he was tragically involved in a fatal car accident in Eugene on May 30, 1975, his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of countless track and field fans around the world. Pre began his running career at Marshfield High School in Coos Bay, where he was coached by Walter McClure, a former Oregon track star. He went undefeated in cross country and track as a junior and senior. As a senior, he broke the American record for two miles in the Corvallis Invitational with a time of 8:41.5. Bill Dellinger, then an Oregon assistant track and cross coach, first saw Pre run as a junior at the state cross country meet in November 1967 at the urging of McClure. Prefontaine signed with the University of Oregon on Tuesday, April 29, 1969. Between the time he entered the University of Oregon in the fall of 1969 and when he graduated in the summer of 1973, Pre won seven NCAA titles—three in cross country (1970, 1971, 1973) and four in the three-mile in track (1970, 1971, 1972, and 1973)—becoming the first collegian to accomplish the feat in track and the second in cross country. He won Pac-8 Conference championships in the 3-mile in 1970, 1971, 1972, and 1973, in addition to the mile title in 1971. In his first outdoor track race, he won the 2-mile in a triangular against Fresno State and Stanford in Fresno, Calif., on March 21, 1970. Later that first season, he clocked a 3:57.4 mile at the Oregon Twilight, finishing second and setting an Oregon freshman record. Pre’s victories became legendary. His first NCAA 3-mile track title in 1970 came with a dozen stitches in his foot after being involved in a diving board accident just days before. His final cross country victory came after making up a 100-yard deficit on Western Kentucky’s English distance star Nick Rose. At the close of his collegiate career he had set eight collegiate track records. Altogether, Pre raced at Hayward Field in Eugene in 38 races between 1970-75, losing only three times and all at one mile. He owned every (8) American record between 2,000 and 10,000 meters and between two miles and six miles. He also held eight collegiate records while at Oregon, with his three-mile (12:53.4) and six-mile (27:09.4) performances still standing. During his career, he broke his own or other American records 14 different times, broke the four-minute barrier nine times, ran 25 two-mile races under 8:40, and 10 5,000 meter races faster than 13:30. He competed in the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, when he was 21 years old and two years younger than anyone else in the 5,000 meters field. Taking the lead with a mile to go, and holding it until less than 600 meters remaining, he ultimately finished fourth (13:28.25) behind Lasse Viren of Finland (first, 13:26.42), Mohamed Gammoudi of Tunisia (second, 13:27.33), and Ian Stewart of Great Britain (third, 13:27.61). Stewart passed Prefontaine less than 10 meters from the finish line for the last medal. Today, Pre’s impact can be found in the Steve Prefontaine Memorial Jogging Trail, 6.3 kilometers of wood chip path that winds through Alton Baker Park in Eugene. His life has been the subject of several recent books, movies and videos. A memorial was dedicated in 1997 at the corner of Birch Lane and Skyline Drive in Eugene—the site of his fatal car accident.

2012 REVIEW

Changing of the Guard Despite a youthful roster, the Men of Oregon rose to the occasion and won their sixth straight conference title in 2012. With half the team experiencing Pac-12 level competition for the first time in their careers, the Ducks counted victories from freshmen in the 110 hurdles, javelin and decathlon, coupled with junior Elijah Greer’s win in the 800 and a plethora of what Greer termed “fighter points” to pull away for the league title. Mike Berry’s sophomore season got off to a solid start at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, where he finished third in a school-record 45.93. Berry was one of three Ducks to earn All-America honors indoors, including Trevor Dunbar in the 3,000 meters and Parker Stinson in the 5,000. Outdoors, Berry would break his own school record twice, first running 44.86 at the NCAA West Preliminary meet, and then 44.75 in a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships. Along the way, the Men of Oregon saw a number of successes. The Ducks won their fourth straight Pepsi Team Invitational with 224.5 points, to defeat Washington (157), Texas A&M (145.5) and UCLA (136).

Luke Puskedra

The men truly shined at the conference meet, the inaugural version as the Pac-12 Conference, at Historic Hayward Field. Freshmen were truly the key to Oregon’s success as Johnathan Cabral won the 110 meter hurdles, Sam Crouser captured the javelin and Dakotah Keys claimed the decathlon. More freshmen added to Oregon’s winning point total, including Arthur Delaney, who was third in the 100 meters and fourth in the 200 and added a leg on the runner-up 4x100 meter relay team. The Ducks also got freshman points from Russell Hornsby in the 800 meters (sixth), Colby Alexander (seventh) and Chad Noelle (eighth) in the 1,500, Alec Fellows in the decathlon (eighth) and Trevor Ferguson in the 110 hurdles (eighth). In all the freshmen accounted for more than a third of Oregon’s total points. Not to be outdone by the rookies, Greer led the charge in the 800, Berry was the runner-up in the 400 meters and both ran on the third-place 4x400 meter relay team. Senior Luke Puskedra was second in the 1,000 meters and fifth in the 5,000. Sophomore Trevor Dunbar was third in the 1,500 with senior Travis Stanford right behind in fourth. Dunbar was also fourth in the 5,000. Sophomore Parker Stinson placed sixth in the 10,000 and seventh in the 5,000, while senior Chris Kwiatkowski ran fiftth in the 10,000. Sophomore Boru Guyota took fifth in the 800 meters. Senior Eric Hersey took sixth in the 110 hurdles and sophomore Tim Costin was sixth in the steeplechase. In the field, senior Brian Schaudt took sixth in the triple jump and eighth in the long jump, junior Austin Ouderkirk was fifth in the pole vault and sophomore Tanner Harris grabbed seventh in the hammer. All that added up to 140 points, which was comfortably ahead of Arizona State’s 116.5 and Arizona’s 94.

Eric Hersey

On a warm and sunny day at Historic Hayward Field, the men became just the second school in league history to win six conference titles in a row, and the first to do it in nearly 50 years. USC was the last team to accomplish that, winning eight in a row from 1957-64. The success of Oregon’s freshman class continued at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds, where Delaney (200), Cabral (110 hurdles) and Crouser (javelin) qualified for the NCAA Championships along with Berry (400), Greer (800), Guyota (800), Kwiatkowski (5,000), Dunbar (5,000), Stinson (5,000/10,000) and Puskedra (10,000). Cabral ran 13.45 in the 110 hurdles, which was an Oregon freshman record and the second-fastest time in school history. That led to Berry’s impressive turn in the finals of the 400 meters, where finished as the national runner-up to Florida’s Tony McQuay. Greer also impressed with a third-place finish in the 800, while Puskedra capped his collegiate career with an impressive fourth-place run in the 10,000 meters. Dunbar was also a scorer, taking sixth in the 5,000. That allowed Oregon to finish tied for ninth in the team competition. Following the collegiate season, Delaney, Noelle and Fellows were joined by freshmen Ryan Pickering, Chris Brewer and Matthew Melancon at the USA Junior Championships. Pickering won the 10,000 meters to earn a trip to the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain, along with Delaney in the relay. Back in TrackTown, seven current Ducks qualified for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, including Berry, Greer, Crouser, Puskedra, Dunbar, Cabral and Keys.

Chris Kwiatkowski

Crouser had a memorable meet in his Trials debut, capturing second place with a throw of 265-1/80.80m. That was the second-longest throw in school history. Greer also had an impressive Trials run, finishing sixth in the 800 in a season-best 1:45.40. Puskedra was eighth in the 10,000 meters in a personal-best 27:56.62.

2012 REVIEW

NCAA Command Performances In 2012, the Women of Oregon captured their third straight NCAA Indoor national title and fourth straight Pac-12 championship, as well as taking the runner-up spot at the NCAA Outdoor meet for the fourth year in a row. The results was that, for the fourth year in a row, Oregon was named the national Terry Crawford Program of the Year. The Ducks eased to the indoor title with 49 points, thanks to individual titles from English Gardner in the 60 meters and Brianne Theisen in the pentathlon. Gardner won the 60 in 7.12 seconds, the fourth-fastest 60 meters in NCAA history. Theisen’s win set in motion a remarkable senior season that would lead all the way to the London Olympics and the Bowerman Award as the nation’s top collegiate track & field athlete. Before NCAA Championships, Theisen established the NCAA and Canadian national record in the pentathlon by scoring 4,555 points at Texas A&M earlier in the season.

Brianne Theisen

At the indoor meet, Theisen broke her own school record in the 60 hurdles (8.25), but had to rally in the long jump and 800 meters to win her third consecutive NCAA pentathlon title. She became just the third woman to earn three career pentathlon crowns. Jordan Hasay doubled and scored 11 points for the team with her third place finish in the mile and fourthplace showing in the 3,000 meters. Oregon also amassed points from Phyllis Francis’ fourth-place finish in the 400 meters, Becca Friday’s fourth-place finish in the mile and a runner-up showing in the distance medley relay. Outdoors, the Ducks kept things rolling all the way to a record-setting NCAA meet. Highlighted by a record-setting performance from Alex Kosinski in the 5,000 meters, Oregon led nearly wire to wire to win the Pepsi Team Invitational with 224.5 points, followed by Washington with 157, Texas A&M with 145.5 and UCLA with 136. Oregon’s total was the second-highest in the history of the Pepsi meet. The women were led by Kosinski’s impressive showing. The senior and Texas A&M’s Natosha Rogers broke from the pack early and the two were way ahead of the field for the entire race. Kosinski then made her move on Rogers with 600 meters to go and closed with a fast final lap to win in a meet-record 15:36.90. The Ducks were just as spectacular at the Pac-12 Championships.

Alex Kosinski

Gardner was a triple champion, earning both the 100 and 200 meter crowns, as well as running a leg on the winning 4x100 meter relay squad. Francis added another 10 points with a title at 400 meters, while Laura Roesler did likewise in the 800 and Hasay in the 1,500. Kosinski also claimed her first career conference crown with a victory in the 10,000 meters. Theisen cruised to her third career heptathlon title with a meetrecord 6,353 points. But the surprise of the meet was Lauryn Newson, who was named the Pac-12 Performer of the Meet for winning the triple jump (43-4.25), finishing second in the 100 (11.38), third in the 200 (23.09) and also running on the winning 4x100 meter relay. Francis was also the runner-up at 200 meters, Friday was second in the 800 and Kimber Mattox was second in the steeplechase. The Ducks won with 200.5 points. The NCAA Championships saw Oregon score a school-record 62 points, only to have Louisiana State score 74 and win with a nearly flawless performance. Oregon’s total would have won five of the last seven years. Still, the Ducks had some breathtaking moments, including Theisen’s signature performance in the heptathlon. She won with 6,440 points - the second highest total in NCAA history - after establishing personal bests in the 100 hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump and javelin. Gardner also made history by becoming the first Duck woman to win the NCAA’s 100 meter title (11.10), just edging LSU’s Kimberlyn Duncan, who ran 11.11. Gardner also led off Oregon’s riveting victory in the 4x400 meter relay (Chizoba Okodogbe, Roesler, Francis) that smashed the school record by running 3:24.54. The Ducks clipped LSU by .05. Others scoring for the Oregon included Francis in the 400 (fifth), Roesler (fourth) and Anne Kesselring (fifth) in the 800, Hasay in the 1,500 (third), Lanie Thompson in the steeplechase (sixth), Kosinski in the 5,000 (eighth), Allie Woodward in the 10,000 (fifth) and the 4x100 meter relay (fourth).

Amber Purvis

After the season, Theisen qualified for the London Olympics as a member of Team Canada.

RECORD BOOK

Dual Sport Letterwinners One of Oregon’s most prolific student-athletes, four-time All-American Jordan Kent, a rare three-sport letterman, anchored UO to its first Pac10 Championships victory in the 4x100 meter relay in the 2006 Pac-10 Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene. A month later, he returned to score All-America honors in the NCAA Championships 4x100 meters and added another top-eight NCAA finish in the 4x400 meters. In 2009-10, two Ducks accomplished the rare feat of capturing both a Pac10 football and track championship - record-setting running back LaMichael James and teammate Kenjon Barner. Another of Oregon’s top all-time receivers, Samie Parker took All-America honors in 2004 in the indoor 60 meter (third) and outdoor 100 meters (fifth), broke his school record in the 60 meters in the NCAA prelims (6.62), and climbed to second all-time for Oregon in the 100 meters (10.18). The Long Beach, Calif., native followed with a record-breaking final pigskin season, capped by the Sun Bowl Offensive MVP award for his 16-catch, 200-yard outing vs. Minnesota. He ranks among the top Duck receivers in career receptions (178) and yardage (2,761). The Ducks’ dual-sport lineage dates back to the early ’30s, as one of the first famous two-sporters, Bill Bowerman, wrecked havoc in the defensive backfield in the fall, then ran the 440 yards in the spring for Colonel Bill Hayward. In the NCAA Championships, two Duck football letterwinners claimed individual field event titles to open the ’50s. Chuck Missfeldt won the javelin title in 1951, and defensive end Emery Barnes followed with the 1952 high jump crown. Split end Jerry Tarr continued the tradition into the early ’60s when he broke world records in the 120 yard hurdles en route to NCAA titles in 1961 and 1962. Halfback Mel Renfro took second behind him in the latter NCAA hurdle finale, and added a third in the long jump. Renfro was a second-round pick by Dallas and a Pro Bowl selection his first 10 years in the league. At the end of his career in the ’70s, he had helped the Cowboys to four Super Bowls and eight NFC title games, and finished with 52 interceptions and six touchdowns (3 interceptions, 1 punt return, 3 kickoff returns). The ’80s saw Duck football stars explode off the horizontal runways as fullback Latin Berry became Oregon’s only long jumper to win All-America honors four straight seasons as he upped the school record to 26-8.5. Cornerback J.J. Birden added to the Pac-10 scoring column with a long jump win of his own, and his best of 25-8.75 was only three inches shy of Renfro’s collegiate best (25-11.75). Receiver/punt returner Pat Johnson ignited Autzen Stadium and Hayward Field crowds in the mid ’90s with equal aplomb. As a freshman, he became the first Duck to win All-America honors in the 100 and 200 meters the same season, and later left with several all-time Duck top-10 receiving marks. In 1998, Johnson became the 25th Duck to play in the Super Bowl as the Ravens cruised to a 34-7 win over the New York Giants. Cornerback Muhammad Oliver added two All-America decathlon honors in the early ’90s, and posted one of the best Duck decathlon scores ever (8,087). For the women, Pac-10 heptathlon and long jump champion Kelly Blair, a three-time All-American, was a force on the basketball court in 1990 and ’92. In 2003, All-American Mary Etter won the inaugural West Regional discus title en route to her fourth NCAA trip, and also lettered as a soccer goalkeeper. Amanda Brown also advanced to the 2003 collegiate finale in the triple jump, and played basketball as a freshman. Rachel Yurkovich, the 2008 NCAA javelin champion and three-time Pac-10 champion, won U.S. and Pan-Am Junior Championships javelin titles in 2005, then played volleyball for UO that fall.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT

Michael Gottfredson University President 1st Year

Dr. Michael R. Gottfredson began his tenure as the University of Oregon’s 17th president on Aug. 1, 2012. Previously, he was a professor of Criminology, Law, and Society and of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine, where he also served as the executive vice chancellor and provost since 2000. Gottfredson holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. from the State University of New York at Albany; and an A.B. from the University of California at Davis. His research and teaching specialties are the causes of crime and delinquency and the criminal justice process. He (with Travis Hirschi) is well known for the development of the self-control theory of crime and delinquency and for the study of how these behaviors relate to age. The theory has stimulated a great deal of research and their description of how and why age relates to crime has become central to research, theory and policy about crime and delinquency. His work on victimization led to the development of the “lifestyle/opportunity” theory of criminal victimization, a prominent explanation for differential risks from crime. His systematic study (with Don Gottfredson) of how arrest, prosecution and sentencing decisions are made in criminal justice contributed to greater understanding of the use of discretion and to the widespread use of structured guidelines in the criminal law. In addition, he led a major expansion of the UC-Irvine infrastructure, blending state, campus and private support. He helped to create the California Institute for Telecommunications and Technology, including the construction of a $55 million research facility, and the new public law school. He is the author or editor (with others) of several books, including Control Theories of Crime and Delinquency (2003); Personal Liberty and Community Safety (1995); The Generality of Deviance (1994); A General Theory of Crime (1990); Decision-making in Criminal Justice (1988); Positive Criminology (1987); Policy Guidelines for Bail: An Experiment in Court Reform (1985); Understanding Crime (1980); and Victims of Personal Crime (1978). He has published numerous articles in journals, including Criminology, American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Advances in Criminological Theory, and various law reviews. He has frequently consulted with state, county, and federal governments concerning criminal justice policy. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Criminology and was the Andersen Consulting “Professor of the Year” in 1996 at the University of Arizona’s College of Business and Public Administration. Prior to joining UC-Irvine, Gottfredson served in several positions at the University of Arizona from 1985 to 2000, including interim senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, vice provost and vice president of Undergraduate Education. Other academic positions Gottfredson has held include associate professor at The Claremont Graduate School, Claremont, California, from 1983-1985; associate professor of Sociology, University of Illinois, Urbana, from 1981 to 1983; assistant professor at the Graduate School of Criminal Justice, State University of New York at Albany from 1977 to 1979; and director of the Criminal Justice Research Center in Albany, New York, from 1976 to 1979. He is married to Karol Gottfredson, who was the coordinator of the Intern Teacher Credential Program at UC-Irvine. The Gottfredsons have one daughter, Katherine, a son, Bryan, and daughter-in-law, Meghan, and two young granddaughters.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR Since being named the University of Oregon’s 12th director of intercollegiate athletics on July 15, 2010, Rob Mullens has wasted little time in putting his own stamp on the continual success of the Ducks’ athletics department while being the beneficiary of one of the most successful eras in school history. Mullens arrived at Oregon from the University of Kentucky, where he served as deputy director of athletics and managed day-to-day operations for Kentucky’s 22-sport athletics department, with an annual operating budget of $79 million. In his brief tenure in Eugene, he has implemented his philosophy of financial effiency while overseeing an $93.5 million budget for the coming year, in addition to enhancing the department’s model of selfsufficiency. He has assisted with the continued success of a football program that has been surpassed by few nationally, with the Ducks claiming an unprecedented three straight conference championships while becoming the only school in the country to appear in a third consecutive BCS bowl game following the 2011 season. Following an appearance in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game, Oregon posted a win over Wisconsin in the 2012 Rose Bowl Game. In fact, 15 of the school’s 19 intercollegiate sports advanced to the post season during the 2011-12 season, including women’s indoor track & field and acrobatics and tumbling which both claimed national championships. In addition, the Ducks finished 24th in the country in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition as the top program in the country fielding 18 sports or less. He also was at the helm as the Ducks opened their spectacular Matthew Knight Arena, which plays host to the school’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, women’s volleyball and acrobatics and tumbling, in addition to benefitting the entire Eugene-Springfield communities as a state-of-the-art venue for concerts, cultural forums and world-class entertainment. Off the field, Mullens was just as excited to witness an accumulated graduation rate of 74 percent among all of the Ducks’ student-athletes, a single-season best six first-team Capital One Academic AllAmericans and 105 academic all-conference honorees. His background is in accounting and auditing, and he promoted sound fiscal management and self-sufficiency at the University of Kentucky. During his total of eight years at Kentucky, the athletic department’s operating budget expanded by nearly 70 percent. Fundraising for the department hit record levels each of the past seven years prior to his departure. Prior to being named deputy director of athletics at Kentucky in 2006, Mullens began as the university’s executive associate director of athletics in 2002. He served at the University of Maryland from 1996 to 2002, starting as assistant director of athletics for business and ultimately as executive senior associate director of athletics and chief of staff. The West Virginia native was senior athletics business manager at the University of Miami (Fla.) from 1994 to 1996, and prior to that he was an accountant/auditor at Ernst & Young in Raleigh, N.C. The 43-year-old Mullens earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s in sport management from West Virginia University in 1991 and 1993, respectively. He and his wife, Jane, have two sons - Cooper and Tanner.
