Lady Duck frosh Liisa-Maria Lusti won the Pentathlon by 32 points Oregon's Liisa-Maria Lusti wins women's pentathlonOregon's Liisa-Maria Lusti is only a freshman, and she's already a national champion! The rookie Duck took home the women's pentathlon crown after a long five-event grind, finishing with 4498 points. Lusti outpaced Illinois' JaCieonna Gero-Holt in the 800 meters by one spot to hold off her fellow freshman and secure the top overall spot by 32 points.

An 800-meter DQ knocked off one point from Illinois' total after Meagan Humphries originally finished in eighth before a protest. With Oregon and Illinois as two of the top team contenders entering the day, that DQ could carry weight down the line.

One event remains in the pentathlonThe pentathlon all comes down to the 800 meters. Only 18 points separates first and second place — AND both are freshmen. Oregon's Liisa-Maria Lusti and Illinois JaiCieonna Gero-Holt are in poll position entering the final event of the five-event circuit. Lusti moved in front on the fourth event after landing a 6.63-meter long jump to earn 1049 points. Meanwhile, Gero-Holt climbed the leaderboard with the top performances in the high jump and shot put. The result? 3680 points for the Oregon rookie and 3662 points for the Illinois rookie. If that wasn't enough, Vanderbilt's Janie Ford is in fourth place, just 134 points behind. The pentathlon 800 meters takes the track at 5 p.m. CT/ 6 p.m. ET to decide the winner.

I'm against the going away with signing days. I think too often "kids" see the flash of that first visit/promises and mistakenly commit (whatever that truly means). I like a recruiting open season. Kids can "commit" if they want or play the NIL field.
