PROVO — BYU returns to the NCAA Track and Field Championships this week in Eugene, Oregon, led by a group of talented distance runners.
A year ago, the Cougars’ Rory Linkletter raced to a second-place finish in the 10,000-meter event. But his teammate, Connor McMillan, has one of the best times in the country in that race this year.
Linkletter and McMillan are two of 15 Cougar athletes who will vie for national titles this week, starting Wednesday, and they are two of four BYU athletes that will compete for the 10,000-meter crown.
BYU holds the NCAA record for the most entries in any single event at an NCAA championship with five decathletes in 1975.
