Edward Cheserek should feel right at home this weekend.
Oregon’s distance phenom will be joined by UO track and field teammates Raevyn Rogers and Blake Haney on Saturday at the Millrose Games in New York City. Cheserek, who attended high school in Newark, N.J., will be racing on what was his home track in those years, with familiar faces cheering him on from the stands and others alongside him in the field for the 3,000 meters, including former UO teammates Eric Jenkins and Trevor Dunbar.
“For him to get a chance to go back home is special,” UO head coach Robert Johnson said.
