EUGENE, Ore. — When UO freshman Shana Grebo returned to Eugene with the French team for the World Athletics Championships, it was with humble goals in mind.
Grebo and the rest of France's 4x400-relay team were just hoping to make the final of their event at Oregon22 in Hayward Field. So when they checked that box Saturday in the preliminaries, it required some recalibration.
Sure, a medal was the ultimate goal. But even a top-five finish, Grebo said after prelims, would be an accomplishment.
Fast forward to Sunday, and the final event of Oregon22, the women's 4x400.
