Birmingham, Ala. – Although they achieved their goals in different ways, both the men and women’s track and field teams will board their plane home to Eugene as 2016 Indoor National Champions. The Men of Oregon put together another dominating performance, scoring 62 team points, 23 beyond second-place Arkansas, while the women gutted out a three point win over the Razorbacks with 53 team points.
The men had their national title on ice even before Edward Cheserek completed a triple that had only ever been done once before, but the women had to use every ounce of effort in the final event of the day to secure their spot on top of the field.
