There was a lot of action on the track for current and former Ducks yesterday at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Oregon had no entrants in the only finals of the day, the women's 3,000 steeplechase and shot put, but more than made up for it with numerous qualifying performances.
The most Oregon-dominated event was the men's 1,500, as six former Ducks and two current runners all advanced to the semifinals. Alums Daniel Winn (3:42.22) and Andrew Wheating (3:42.41) led the way, with Winn running the second-best time overall. The rest of the bunch included defending U.S. champion Matthew Centrowitz, Johnny Gregorek, Jordan McNamara and Colby Alexander.
