Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 3 Share Posted March 19 Oregon Previews provide perfect weather for distance racing as Oregon Track and Field team opens its outdoor season As darkness fell and the temperature dropped, the lights were bright at Hayward Field for the first time this year as the Oregon Previews kicked off the 2023 outdoor season on Friday night. Day one featured the women’s and men’s 10,000 meters. The 25 laps for the women were paced by junior Izzy Thorton-Bott, who finished ninth in the mile at the NCAA indoor championships earlier in March. Eight women toed the start line, including regional cross-country qualifiers Harper McClain, Malia Pivec and Maddy Elmore. After taking the lead at the end of the third lap, Emilie Girard led the pack in the first mile with a time of 5 minutes and 22.93 seconds. Pivec began falling behind the lead pack 12 laps in, with Thorton-Bott urging her to keep up. Thornton-bott pumped her arm in the air every time she passed the finish line, causing the Hayward crowd to clap, yelp and cheer on the athletes.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 6 Share Posted 16 hours ago EIGHT TOP-FIVE FINISHES, TWO WINS AT SDSU The Oregon track and field team totaled eight top-five finishes including two wins and a top-10 program effort Saturday at the 44th Aztec Invitational hosted by San Diego State. Freshman Aaliyah McCormick recorded the Ducks' first win of the afternoon, stopping the clock in 13.23 (-1.1 m/s) to take the top spot in the 100-meter hurdles. In addition to the victory, McCormick moved to sixth on the program's top-10 list despite the headwind. The San Diego native finished sixth at the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 60-meter hurdles (8.01) two weeks ago in Albuquerque. Jadyn Mays, fifth in the 60 and 200 at NCAA Indoors, got her outdoor season started with a victory in the women's 100 meters. She crossed the finish in 11.19, just off her wind-legal PB of 11.16 from the Desert Heat Classic last season.
