Men’s Preview

Men’s Outlook 2013 NCAA champion Edward Cheserek leads a deep and talented squad of Ducks into the 2014 season. Cheserek’s individual title helped the men finish fifth overall at the 2013 national meet. The five-time all-American went on to win NCAA Indoor titles at both 3,000 and 5,000 meters, before taking the outdoor 10,000 meter crown.

Backing Cheserek (Newark, N.J.) is a veteran roster loaded with championship level experience.

Seniors Jeramy Elkaim (Livingston, N.J.), Tanguy Pepiot (Besancon, France), Ryan Pickering (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and Daniel Winn (Portland, Ore.) all have past NCAA Championships experience, while fellow seniors Eric Jenkins (Portsmouth, N.H.) and Cole Watson (Rogue River, Ore.) both have prior NCAA Regional appearances. Jenkins will be making his cross country debut for Oregon after transferring from Northeastern last fall. Colby Alexander (Strongsville, Ohio) is another senior adding depth to the roster.

The junior class is just as impressive with Matthew Melancon (Eugene, Ore.) Edward Cheserek already having raced twice at the NCAA meet, while Chris Brewer (Vista, Calif.) and Matt Jablonski (Cockeysville, Md.) are both Pac-12 Championship veterans.

Cheserek leads the sophomore class that also features fellow NCAA Championships qualifier Jake Leingang (Bismarck, N.D.).

If that weren’t enough, head coach Robert Johnson and associate head coach Andy Powell have eight freshmen looking to make an impact this fall. Five of the freshmen redshirted last fall: Jackson Darland (Eugene, Ore.), Bryan Fernandez (Santa Barbara, Calif.), Chris Mulverhill (Austin, Texas), Travis Neuman (Bend, Ore.) and Sam Prakel (Versailles, Ohio).

The Ducks welcome three true freshmen to the squad in Mitchell Butler (Florence, Ore.), Blake Haney (Bakersfield, Calif.) and Kyle Levermore (Mahwah, N.J.).

In recent seasons, the men have experienced success on a national level rarely seen in TrackTown USA. Oregon won back-to-back NCAA titles in 2007 and 2008, and followed that with a runner-up finish in 2009. Those results harken back to the era of the legendary Steve Prefontaine, when the Ducks won national titles in 1971, 1973 and 1974, were second in 1970 and third in 1972.

2015 NCAA Championships, June 10-13, Historic Hayward Field

Women’s Preview

Women’s Outlook All seven of Oregon’s runners who ran at the 2013 NCAA Championships return this fall as the women’s team strides toward another NCAA appearance.

The seven NCAA Championships veterans are seniors Megan Patrignelli (Monroe, N.Y.), Lindsay Crevoiserat (Glastonbury, Conn.) and Mia Elbon (Nashville, Tenn.), juniors Molly Grabill (Poway, Calif.), Annie Leblanc (Repentigny, Quebec) and Abbey Leonardi (Kennebunkport, Maine), and sophomore Maggie Schmaedick (Eugene, Ore.).

Patrignelli was Oregon’s top runner in the first five races of the 2013 season , while Grabill was the Ducks’ top runner at the Regional meet and Leblanc paced the squad at the NCAA Championships. Patrignelli and Schmaedick joined Leblanc in the top 100 at the 2013 NCAA meet.

In addition, the women welcome seven newcomers who figure to factor into the Maggie Schmaedick lineups put together by head coach Robert Johnson and assistant coach Maurica Powell.

Two of the newcomers are transfers, junior Waverly Neer (Russiaville, Ind.) from Columbia and sophomore Brianna Nerud (Old Brookville, N.Y.) from Syracuse. Another three are freshmen who redshirted the 2013 season: Alli Cash (Lexexa, Kan.), Nikki Hiltz (Santa Cruz, Calif.) and Kelly O’Neill (Portland, Ore.).

There are also two true freshman on the squad in Sarah Baxter (Simi Valley, Calif.) and Frida Berg (Olve, Norway). Berg arrived at Oregon in the winter of 2014 and will wrap up her first year in Eugene this fall.

Beyond that, sophomore Julia Zrinyi (Winnipeg, Manitoba) is aiming for her first cross country race as a Duck after transferring from Connecticut last fall. Junior Ally Aschbacher (Portland, Ore.) and sophomores Skylar Evans (Crozier, Va.) and Ashley Maton (Bend, Ore.) will add depth.

Season Review

2013 Recap Edward Cheserek’s brilliant freshman season, where he won NCAA and Pac-12 individual titles, was the peak of many highs for the Oregon men’s and women’s cross country teams in 2013.

Bill Dellinger Invitational Freshman Edward Cheserek led the fourth-ranked Men of Oregon to a hard fought seven-point victory over Boise State and nine other teams at the eighth annual Bill Dellinger Invitational. The Duck women ran second to No. 7 Washington on a sunny fall morning before an estimated crowd of 1,500 at Springfield Country Club.

From the outset, the Duck men were engaged in a tight contest with Boise State that included a fall in the first 50 meters by one of Oregon’s top runners, Jeramy Elkaim, and was not decided until Oregon’s fifth runner, Ryan Pickering, crossed the tape in 16th, giving the men their first Dellinger victory since 2010.

Cheserek was one of three Ducks in the top six, but the Broncos placed all five of their runners in the top 13. The freshman from Newark, N.J., took second, covering the 8,000 meter course in 24:00. Senior Parker Stinson took fourth for Oregon in 24:17, and the men also saw a strong performance from Daniel Winn, who was sixth in 24:22 as the junior from Portland, Ore., turned is his best race as a Duck.

Megan Patrignelli

The Broncos, which came into the meet ranked sixth in the West Region, countered with Allan Schroeder taking fifth in 24:19 to lead a BSU finish that went 5-7-9-11-13. However, the Ducks showed enough depth to make up for Elkaim’s fall with sophomore Matthew Melancon 10th in 24:26 and Pickering, a junior from West Palm Beach, Fla., moving up to 16th on the final lap in 24:39.

Oregon won with 32 points, followed by BSU with 39, and Washington and No. 8 Portland tied with 87.

In the women’s race, the Huskies placed five runners in the top 13 to clip No. 5 Oregon. Washington won with 30 points, followed by Oregon with 52, Boise State with 63, Portland with 81 and Wichita State with 163.

Megan Patrignelli led Oregon with her sixth place finish. The junior from Monroe, N.Y., covered the 5,000 meter course in 16:57. The Ducks also had sophomore Molly Grabill 14th in 17:20, sophomore Abbey Leonardi 15th in 17:23, freshman Maggie Schmaedick 16th in 17:24 and senior Sarah Penney 18h in 17:34.

Pac-12 Championships Edward Cheserek etched himself into the Oregon history books becoming the first Duck freshman ever to claim a Pac-12 cross country championship title. The freshman from Kenya by way of Newark, N.J., paced the No. 4 ranked Men of Oregon to a second-place finish with 54 points behind Colorado’s 28 at the Pac-12 Cross Country Championships at Coal Creek Golf Course in Louisville, Colo.

Megan Patrignelli led the 12th-ranked Women of Oregon for the fifth-straight time as the Ducks finished fourth.

Cheserek’s first-place finish time of 24:36 marked his fourth top-four finish this year. Parker Stinston recorded his second top-10 finish of the year with a sixth-place finish with a time of 24:56. In his second race of the year, Mac Fleet rounded out the top finishers for UO with a 10th-place mark of covering the 8,000 meter course in 25:23.

Molly Grabill

Also for the Ducks, Jake Leingang clocked in at 25:37 for 16th followed by Tanguy Pepiot at 25:52 for 21st. Daniel Winn, a junior from Portland, Ore., came in seconds behind Pepiot at 25:56 (27th) for the Ducks. Cole Watson, in his second race of the year, posted a time of 26:08 coming in 33rd.

The Buffs’ took the team title with five runners in the top-10 and were led by Blake Theroux who took third with a 24:47 time while Stanford came in at third with 79 points.

The Oregon women ran in a tight pack throughout the race with only 19 seconds separating the Duck’s top-five finishers. Patrignelli, Oregon’s top finisher in every race this year, covered the 6,000 meter course in 22:18 finishing 17th while fellow Ducks Abbey Leonardi (22:25) and freshman Maggie Schmaedick (22:26) came in right behind one another for 21st and 22nd respectively.

Sophomore Annie Leblanc took 25th with a time of 22:31 in her second race of the year. Like Leblanc, Lindsay Crevoiserat ran in only her second race of the year finishing 28th with a mark of 22:37. Mia Elbon (35th) and Molly Grabill (37th) rounded things out for Oregon with times of 22:51 and 22:52 respectively.

Top-ranked Arizona claimed the team Pac-12 championship with 69 points while No. 16 Colorado took second with 75 points and 13th-ranked Washington took third with 111 points just edging Oregon with 113. Stanford’s Aisling Cuffe took the individual title clocking in at 21:04 ahead of Arizona’s Elvin Kibet (21:15).

2015 NCAA Championships, June 10-13, Historic Hayward Field

Season Review NCAA West Regional Freshman Edward Cheserek claimed his third individual victory of the season to lead the Men of Oregon to a second place finish at the NCAA West Regional Cross Country Championships. By virtue of their second place finish, the men automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind. Meanwhile, the Duck women earned an NCAA at-large bid by finishing third.

No. 6 Stanford won the men’s 10,000 meter race, which was held at Haggin Oaks Golf Course, with 53 points, followed by No. 4 Oregon with 64, No. 10 Portland with 92, Boise State with 117 and No. 28 Arizona State with 184.

Oregon’s Parker Stinson lead the field early in the race before Cheserek eventually joined and then passed his teammate. Cheserek was never threatened in the later stages of the race and won in 29:35. A native of Kenya who prepped in New Jersey, Cheserek also won the Pac-12 Championship and the Boston College XC Invitational this fall.

Stinson, a senior from Austin, Texas, took fifth in 29:51. Other scorers for the Ducks included senior Mac Fleet in 13th (29:58), junior Tanguy Pepiot in 19th (30:12) and freshman Jake Leingang in 28th (30:30).

In the women’s 6,000 meter race, top-ranked Arizona won with 84 points, followed by No. 18 Stanford with 94, the 15th-ranked Ducks with 120, No. 17 San Francisco with 140, No. 12 Washington with 162 and No. 26 Arizona State with 175.

For the first time this season, Molly Grabill led the Ducks. The sophomore, from Poway, Calif., finished 14th in 19:11. She was backed by fellow sophomore Annie Leblanc, who was 17th in 20:04. The Ducks also had freshman Maggie Schmaedick in 25th (20:16), sophomore Abbey Leonardi in 31st (20:22) and junior Megan Patrignelli 33rd (20:25).

Edward Cheserek

NCAA Championships Edward Cheserek became Oregon’s first freshman ever to claim the NCAA Division I Cross Crountry individual title with a time of 29:41.1. The newcomer from Newark, N.J., by way of Kenya joined an elite group of Oregon champions that include Steve Prefontaine, Alberto Salazar and Galen Rupp.

“He was phenomenal,” head coach Robert Johnson said. “You never want to put that kind of expectations on a freshman but everyone in the nation knew what kind of runner Edward was coming into this race. To be able to run so composed the way he did was just phenomenal.”

“It feels great, I was just running my own race,” Cheserek said.

The previous best mark by a freshman was held by Prefontaine, who finished third in 1969. It was also the first time a freshman won the high school cross country championship and the NCAA cross country championship in back-to-back years since Bob Kennedy in 1988. Kennedy was on hand at the race as one of the hosts for the NCAA live-stream coverage of the meet.

The Men of Oregon took fifth in the team competition with 274 points just behind BYU’s 267 points. Top-ranked Colorado claimed the team title with 149 points with Northern Arizona taking the runner-up spot with 169 points.

Oklahoma State, the three-time defending team champion, rounded out the top three with 230 points.

It was the best finish at the NCAA championships for the Duck men since 2009 when they were second behind Oklahoma State.

Cheserek ran behind Kennedy Kithuka of Texas Tech the entire first leg of the race as the two separated from the pack. Kithuka, who had yet to lose a collegiate race, extended his lead over the freshman after the 6k mark but by the time the two hit the 8k split, Cheserek made his move and stormed past Kithuka to win by 18 seconds on his way to his fourth individual title this year.

Parker Stinson

Parker Stinson was the second Duck to cross coming in at 20:56.2 for 54th in the 10,000-meter race while Tanguy Pepiot took 58th with a time of 30:58.4. Mac Fleet, a senior from San Diego, Calif, took 77th with a course time of 31:05 and freshman Jake Leingang placed 149th with a time of 31:46.8.

Matthew Melancon finished in 33:16.1 for the Ducks while Daniel Winn rounded things out with a time of 33:31.3.

The Women of Oregon, who were the defending national champions, finished in 14th place and were paced by Annie Leblanc who clocked in at 21:03.9 for 66th. Megan Patrignelli, a senior from Monroe, N.Y., was the second Duck to cross the finish line with a time of 21:06 (70th).

In her first NCAA race, Maggie Schmaedick clocked in at 21:11.9 (81st). Molly Grabill’s time of 21:20.1 (101st) was her best finish at the NCAA championships. Abbey Leonardi, a sophomore from Kennebunkport, Maine, ran the course in 21:35.6. Lindsay Crevoiserat crossed the line in 22:29.7 and Mia Elbon rounded things out for Oregon with a time of 22:58.2.

Providence won the team title with 141 points followed by Arizona with 197 points. Butler rounded out the top three with 200 points with Michigan and Georgetown taking fourth and fifth respectively. Abbey D’Agostino, a senior from Dartmouth, won the individual title clocking in at 20:00.3 while Emma Bates of Boise State took second with 20:03.9. .

Men’s Cross Country History

OREGON MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY HISTORY

B

y winning back-to-back NCAA Championships (2007-08) for the first time in 35 years and adding a runner-up showing in 2009, the Oregon cross country team is in the midst of another Golden Era of running in what will undoubtedly be another memorable chapter to the storied legend that embodies the tradition of the Men of Oregon. Edward Cheserek added to that legacy in 2013 by becoming the first freshman in the history of the storied program to win the NCAA individual cross country national title.

In their 38 trips to the NCAA Championships, the Men of Oregon have claimed six NCAA titles, eight runner-up finishes and four more third-place efforts among their 32 top-10 finishes. The University of Oregon fielded its first track and field team in 1897. A decade later, Oregon’s first great track and field head coach, Bill Hayward, began an amazing 44-year career with the Ducks from 1904-47, and assisted Olympic squads from 1908-32.

The Ducks featured three Olympic distance runners during that period — Americans Walter McClure (1912, 800 meters) and Ralph Hill (1932, 5,000 meters, 2nd) and Canadian Jack Hutchins (1948, 800/1,500 meters; 1952, 800 meters). Hill, a native of Klamath Falls, Ore., broke the American mile record in 1930 (4:12.4), then added the American 5,000 meter record in 1932 (14:30.0).

The Ducks’ exceptional distance tradition continued in the 1950s under the guidance of another legendary coach, Bill Bowerman who later served as the 1972 U.S. Olympic head coach.

Springfield, Ore., native Bill Dellinger won Oregon’s first NCAA distance title in the mile in 1954, was the collegiate mile runner-up in ’55, then added the 5,000 meter crown in ’56. After college, he set six American records, two world records and made three Olympic appearances, earning the 1964 Olympic 5,000 meter bronze medal.

His teammate Jim Bailey was also an NCAA mile champion (1955) and Olympian (800 meters, 1956), and became the first miler to break the 4:00 minute mark on U.S. soil in Los Angeles in 1956 (3:58.6).

The mile and 1,500 meters continued to be Oregon trademarks thanks to four straight NCAA titles by Jim Grelle (1959) and Dyrol Burleson (1960-63). The Cottage Grove, Ore., native Burleson eventually claimed a pair of top-six Olympic finishes in the 1,500 meters (sixth, 1960; fifth, ’64) and four American records during his collegiate career.

Oregon’s first trips to the NCAA Cross Country Championships were rewarded with instant success. The Ducks scored runnerup NCAA finishes in ’63 and ’64 and were led by All-Americans Clayton Steinke and Ken Moore who placed 11th and 14th in 1963, respectively. A decade later, Moore placed fourth in the 1972 Olympic marathon after finishing 14th in ’68.

That same 1972 Olympic team showcased another Duck great — Steve Prefontaine — who helped transform the sport under the guidance of Dellinger, who had rejoined the program as an assistant coach in 1968 and assumed the head post in 1972.

Prefontaine arrived as a confident, talented star from the blue collar, coastal town of Coos Bay, Ore., and immediately demonstrated how he had become the U.S. junior record holder in the 2-mile (8:41.5, 1969).

That fall, Prefontaine finished third as a freshman in the 1969 NCAA Cross Country Championships, then added three NCAA cross country individual titles, leading the Ducks to two NCAA cross country team victories (1971, ’73) and secondand third-place finishes in 1969 and ’70. Though Pre passed away tragically in a car crash in 1975, a host of other Oregon runners shared his pursuit for American records and Olympic berths.

Men’s Cross Country History “Dellinger’s Army” added a third NCAA team title in 1974 thanks to a quartet of All-Americans who finished top 25 — Paul Geis (fourth), Dave Taylor (fifth), Terry Williams (sixth) and Gary Barger (25th).

A new generation of Oregon excellence was introduced in 1976 with the arrival of freshmen Alberto Salazar and Rudy Chapa who combined for one NCAA title, four top-10 NCAA finishes and seven cross country All-America honors. The duo, along with All-Americans Don Clary, Bill McChesney, Jr. and Matt Centrowitz, won the fourth NCAA cross country team championship for the Ducks in 1977. Members from what are considered among UO’s greatest teams ultimately combined for an amazing six Olympic and two World Championships invitations on the track.

UO’s success continued in the ’80s and ’90s as eventual World Championships qualifiers Jim Hill and Brad Hudson scored top-10 NCAA cross country finishes. Other top-five NCAA teams featured Olympians and World Championships vets Karl Keska, Danny Lopez, Dan Nelson and Nick Rogers.

The three-time Olympian Dellinger also returned to the event as a U.S. assistant coach for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Steve Fein continued the distance tradition when he took third in the NCAA Championships in 1999 as the top American finisher — less than a month after his Pac-10 and West Regional wins. Jason Hartmann followed with three All-America honors in 1999, 2000 and 2002 and became the third Duck ever to accomplish the feat. His last honor helped UO to its 18th top-five NCAA team finish in 2002.

Vin Lananna helped usher Oregon into another Golden Era of running. The Ducks won back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2007 and 2008 and a new stable of athletes takes their place among the legends of Oregon.

Galen Rupp won an unprecedented six NCAA distance race championships during the 2008-09 academic year. He was the 2008 individual cross country champion and followed that with NCAA indoor wins at 3,000 and 5,000 meters, anchored the winning distance medley relay team and capped his remarkable career with NCAA outdoor titles at 5,000 and 10,000 meters.

His last race in an Oregon singlet was the 2009 USA Track & Field Championships at Historic Hayward Field, where he won his first American title at 10,000 meters. He was also selected as the NCAA Division I Academic All-American of the Year, becoming the first track and field student-athlete to be so honored. A three-time Pac-10 champion, Rupp finished his career with a school-record 14 All-America awards.

Yet, Rupp was just one of the next generation of runners to flourish in the Golden Age under Lananna, Oregon’s backto-back NCAA titles were made possible by All-Americans like Shadrack Biwott, who won the 2007 Pac-10 title, Luke Puskedra, Matthew Centrowitz, A.J. Acosta, Andrew Wheating, Kenny Klotz and Daniel and Diego Mercado. Puskedra, Centrowitz, Klotz and Danny Mercado all earned All-America status during the Ducks’ 2009 NCAA runner-up finish.

That golden age has continued under current head coach Robert Johnson and associate head coach Andy Powell with Cheserek leading the Ducks to a top-five national finish in 2013. The win in cross country was the first of four NCAA individual titles Cheserek won in 2013. That list also included the indoor 3,000 and 5,000 meters and outdoor 10,000 meters.

Women’s Cross Country History

OREGON WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY HISTORY

W

inning the NCAA title under first year head coach Robert Johnson in 2012 on the heels of back-to-back NCAA runner-up finishes in 2007-08, the Oregon women’s cross country team has reestablished itself among the nation’s distance programs.

Oregon’s women’s team has been a leader in cross country throughout its history dating back to Maryl Barker who placed fourth in the 1974 AIAW Invitational.

The AIAW held its first national cross country championship in 1975, and Oregon head coach Tom Heinonen and his Ducks finished fourth that year to start a string of 10 consecutive top-10 team finishes in the AIAW and NCAA Championships, including a national championship in 1983.

Oregon’s magical run in the ’70s and ’80s featured several of the NCAA’s greatest runners, including a trio of top-five NCAA Championships finishers — Leann Warren (second, 1981), Kathy Hayes (third, 1983) and Annette Hand (Peters) (fifth, 1987).

Heinonen’s tremendous success continued in the ’80s and ’90s, and he was rewarded with his second NCAA Coach of the Year honor when Oregon won again in 1987.

Oregon cross country had 10 more NCAA appearances in the 1990’s that featured four more top-10 NCAA individual placers — Lisa Karnopp (third, 1991), Melody Fairchild (ninth, 1995) and Marie Davis (ninth, 1997, 1998). The 1995 squad was one of UO’s best ever with six eventual All-Americans on its squad — Fairchild, Jenna Carlson, Milena Glusac, Davis, Niamh Zwagerman and Kaarin Knudson.

By the end of Heinonen’s 28th and final cross country season in 2002, UO had qualified for the national finale as a team 24 times and advanced individuals three of the other four years. In that span, Oregon celebrated 18 top-10 team finishes, including six, top-three finishes.

The Ducks’ dominance in the Pac-10 and West Regional is equally impressive. In the West Regional, they have won 14 team titles — the most of any team — and their 33 top-five finishes includes 10 individual champions.

Since the inception of the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) women’s finale in 1986, the Oregon women own a conference-best 10 individual crowns, including Jordan Hasay in 2010 and Nicole Blood in 2009. Their seven team titles ranks second among the 12 women’s programs.

It was no surprise under Vin Lananna that the Ducks began their resurgence that saw the 2007 and 2008 squads post runnerup finishes at the NCAA Championships, NCAA West Regional and Pacific-10 conference meets.

Alexandra Kosinski became the NCAA West Regional champion for the first time in her career in 2008, followed by Hasay in 2010. Hasay, Kosinski, Blood and Mattie Bridgmon all earned All-America status in recent years, with Hasay taking third at the 2010 Championships.

In 2012, it was seniors Hasay, Alexi Pappas and Katie Conlon all earning All-America nods, along with Allie Woodward and Annie Leblanc who scored for the NCAA champions.

Bill Dellinger Invitational The women have welcomed Villanova, Arkansas, Duke, Penn State, Baylor, Indiana, Wisconsin, Brigham Young, Wake Forest, Georgia and Texas-El Paso as well as Pac-12 rivals Oregon State, UCLA and Washington. Like the men, the women had an international field in 2010 with the University of Guelph.

2006 BILL DELLINGER INVITATIONAL

Bill Dellinger Invitational Bill Dellinger initially made his name as one of Oregon’s greatest distance runners. From 1953-56, he was a two-time NCAA winner, three-time All-American and three-time conference champion. After college, he balanced a stint in the Air Force with post-collegiate 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 meters in 1964).

Dellinger began his coaching career at Springfield’s 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 AllAmerica honors, and 58 track athletes accounted for 105 track and field honors.

MEET HISTORY Since its inception, the Bill Dellinger Invitational has drawn top-ranked teams from around the nation to compete in Track Town, USA. The men have entertained the likes of Wisconsin, Alabama, Texas, Duke, Villanova, Texas-El Paso, Brigham Young, Penn State, Ohio State, Wake Forest, Georgia and Portland, in addition to Pac-12 rivals UCLA and Washington. The tradition went international in 2010 with the University of Guelph from Ontario, Canada.

Steve Prefontaine

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.

RRob Mullens

SScott Coltrane

D Director of Athletics 55th Year

I Interim University President 11st Year

After being named the University of Oregon’s 12th director of intercollegiate athletics on July 15, 2010, Rob Mullens did not waste any time in putting his own stamp on the continual success of the Ducks’ athletics department, while presiding over 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 four-year tenure in Eugene, he has implemented his philosophy of financial efficiency while overseeing a $93.8 million budget for the 2013 fiscal 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 three conference championships in four seasons, including the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game title, while becoming the only school in the country to appear in a fourth consecutive BCS bowl game following the 2012 regular season. Following a Rose Bowl victory in the 2012 Grandaddy of Them All, Oregon posted a second straight BCS bowl win by downing Kansas State in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl.

Spurred by national championships in men’s outdoor track and field, and men’s and women’s indoor track and field, as well as top three national finishes by sotfball and women’s outdoor track and field in 2013-14, the Ducks registered a school-record 943 points in the Director’s Cup to place 15th overall and rank among the top 25 for a fifth time in six years. Oregon is the only program with 18 or fewer NCAA sports in the history of the Director’s Cup - which measures the collective success of college athletic departments - to place among the top 15 nationally, a feat the Ducks have done three times.

Off the field, Mullens saw three-quarters of UO student-athletes earn degrees, and three garner Capitol One Academic All-America awards. All told, nearly 100 student-athletes won academic all-conference awards.

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.

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 45-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.

The Board of Trustees of the University of Oregon named Scott Coltrane Interim President on August 7, 2014. Coltrane also serves as the Senior Vice President and Provost.

Coltrane previously served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oregon (2008-2013) and as Associate Dean of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at the University of California, Riverside (2004-2008).

Coltrane received a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1988 and was a professor of Sociology at the University of California Riverside from 1988 to 2008. His research (Paternity, Stay-atHome Dads) focuses on families, with special attention given to the ways that mothers and fathers divide parenting and housework. He is the author of four books and more than 100 articles and chapters. Coltrane received the Distinguished Teaching Award at UC Riverside, is past President of the Pacific Sociological Association, and is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
