Oregon’s Track & Field programs opened their 2023 Indoor Season over the weekend, competing in the Cougar Classic in Spokane and the UW Preview in Seattle. The indoor meets include some events not usually part of the more familiar outdoor season - such as the 60-yard dash - to conform to the limits of the smaller venues. In addition, the longer distance running events in which Oregon has excelled so often in past outdoor events are not included. The longest races were 3000 meters.
The highlight of the meet was the performance of Arizona State transfer athlete Jorinda Van Klinken in the Women’s Shot Put in Seattle.
