Devon Allen is ready to tackle the first major hurdle in his second comeback from knee surgery.
The U.S. Olympian and former Oregon football star will make his return to competition Friday at Hayward Field, in the 110-meter hurdles race to be run during the Oregon Twilight meet. Allen hasn't competed on the track since injuring his knee playing football for the Ducks last fall, just weeks after running in the Olympic final in Rio.
The Oregon Twilight begins with field events at 1:30 p.m., and events on the track start at 2:15 p.m. The Pac-12 Network will broadcast the final hour beginning at 6 p.
