Bruce3404 No. 1 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) The last time a Duck or former Duck trackster failed to medal in a World's Championships was 2009 in Berlin. With three days left, the Ducks are down to only two medal contenders: Jorinde Van Klinken in the shot put and Raevyn Rogers in the 800. Neither are picked to finish in the top 8 by Track and Field News. At this point, the best Duck showing was Van Klinken's 4th in the discus; she held third in the penultimate round 5, but was passed by 21cm (8") and had to settle for fourth. Cole Hocker raced well in the 1500 and set a personal best (3:30.70), but finished only 7th in a formidable field. While several other Ducks competed (Hiltz, Hull, Weir, Ilhemeje), none were remotely close to medaling. Rogers' semi-final heat will be run tonight (11:25AM PDT). Should she advance to the final on Sunday, the race begins at 11:45AM PDT. Van Klinken will attempt to qualify Saturday at 1:25AM PDT, with the final at 11:15AM PDT.
