SEATTLE – The Oregon track and field team added a few more names to its NCAA entry list after some noteworthy performances at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships, Friday.
The night ended with some dramatics as the men’s distance medley relay entered the meet on the outside of the NCAA Championships field looking in. With this being the final chance for the team to qualify, the quartet of Blake Haney, Ben Thiel, Grant Grosvenor and Sam Prakel took to the track.
After three strong legs, Prakel, who has already broken four minutes in the mile this season, took the baton for the 1,600 meter anchor leg just on the heels of his opposition from Cal.
