On Friday, the 12th-ranked Women of Oregon secured an NCAA automatic bid after finishing as runners-up at the West Region meet in Sacramento. This matches their finish from last year and marks their 34th appearance at the NCAA Championships.
Four UO women earned a spot on the all-region team. Maddy Elmore and Izzy Thornton-Bott claimed fifth and 10th positions, followed by Anika Thompson in 12th and freshman Katie Clute in 24th place. This was Thompson’s debut at the West Regional, and Clute ranked fourth among freshman entries.
Tatum Miller secured the fifth spot for the Ducks, finishing 58th overall—a career-best performance at the regional meet.
