EUGENE, Ore. — The past, present and future of Oregon track and field was on display at Hayward Field on Friday, as UO legend Brianne Theisen-Eaton set a personal best in the long jump and Ducks recruit Matthew Maton ran the third-fastest mile ever by an American high school boy during the Oregon Twilight.
The Future: Maton, a senior at Summit High in Bend, capped the evening by crossing in 3 minutes, 59.38 seconds. He became the sixth U.S. boy ever to break 4 minutes, and trails only American record-holder Alan Webb and the first boy to do so, Jim Ryun.
