Men of Oregon Open NCAA Championship Meet With 1-2 Punch

Editor, GoDucks.com

In the eyes of UO coach Robert Johnson, the Men of Oregon mostly held form Wednesday to open the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships — which doesn't sound overwhelming, until you consider that "form" included two individual titles.

The day began with points from hammer thrower Greg Skipper, but over the next couple of hours the Ducks didn't see many on the bubble to score break through. The program's momentum changed in a rousing stretch of about 10 minutes late in the day, putting Oregon in strong contention for its second straight team title when the men's portion of the meet concludes Friday.
