Relaxed and seemingly confident, Oregon track coach Robert Johnson met the media yesterday at Hayward Field, and embraced the Ducks' pursuit of the women's triple crown.
No Division I women's program ever has successfully complete a triple crown -- NCAA titles in cross country, indoor and outdoor track & field in the same academic year -- but Oregon is on the verge.
The Ducks already have pocketed the 2016 NCAA cross country title and the 2017 NCAA indoor title.
They are favored to win the outdoor title when the 2017 meet unfolds next week at Hayward Field.
