EUGENE, Ore. — Fans at Hayward Field on hand to support UO alumni were back in a celebratory mood Monday night.
A day after the disappointment of Devon Allen's disqualification, the World Athletics Championships gave Oregon fans two highlight moments Monday. Jessica Hull, the 2018 NCAA Outdoor champion at 1,500 meters while running for the Ducks, finished seventh in that event final at Oregon22. And Jenna Prandini, a two-time NCAA champion for the Ducks, opened competition in the 200 meters with a very relaxed performance in her first-round heat.
Hull finished 13th in the 2019 World Championships in Doha, and 12th in the 2021 Olympic final.
