Quack 12 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 On a related who cares, feel good note, the UO women made it 495 titles for the Pac-12, and won their seventh NCAA indoor title in the past eight years. They shattered the all-time scoring record of 71 points, which was set by Texas in '88, racking up 84 points. Not bad for a school with crappy weather and no indoor track and field facility.

Orange Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (don't say osu baseball, don't say osu baseball) Pac-12.com can't even keep up with the torrid pace of national titles. They're still saying we're in the 460s. Wiki has us at 480-something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 oregon will give it the old college try in softball, women's track, and men's golf. men's track was looking good for the outdoor title but king cheserek will miss the remainder of the year, thus concluding one of, if not the, most storied individual college athletic careers ever. that's at least 18-20 points lost in the team race.

I'm not contesting anything you said above and I have no idea who cheserek is or what he does. You just reminded me of Henry Rono at WSU in 1978: The peak of Rono's running career was the 1978 season. In a span of only 81 days, he broke four world records: 10,000 m (27:22.5), the 5000 metres (13:08.4), the 3000 metres steeplechase (8:05.4), and the 3000 metres (7:32.1); an achievement unparalleled in the history of distance running. He lowered the 10,000 metres record by almost 8 seconds, the 5000 by 4.5, the steeplechase by 2.6, and the 3000 by a full three seconds. In the same year he also won the 5000 m and the 3000 m steeplechase gold medals at the Commonwealth Games. Among his other performances was a steeplechase / 5000 m double in one day during qualifying at the NCAA championships at the University of Oregon at Eugene's Hayward Field. He set meet records in both events, turning in an 8:18 and 13:22. The former took 6 seconds off the NCAA meet record for the steeple. When he ran the steeplechase final the next day, he won in 8:12.39, taking another six seconds off the steeplechase mark. He won 10,000 metres and 3000 metres steeplechase gold medals at the 1978 All-Africa Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
