Winning has become a habit for the Oregon Ducks at the Pac-12 Track & Field Championships.
The Ducks have swept the men's and women's team titles for nine consecutive years. The UO men have won every conference title since 2007.
The UO men are favored to win their 12th consecutive Pac-12 title comfortably. But USC will be a slight favorite when the women's competition begins Saturday at Stanford's Cobb Track and Angell Field.
The two-day meet concludes Sunday.
Oregon is close enough on the women's pre-meet form charts to make this thing too close to call for sure.
