It wouldn’t feel quite right if the University of Oregon wasn’t represented on the podium at the NCAA Track and Field National Championships would it?
Fortunately, that didn’t have to be the case after the Oregon women finished in fourth place over the weekend in Austin, TX.
The Ducks, under first-year coach Jerry Schumacher, compiled a total of 44 points, finishing in the top four for the 15th time, and the first since they won the National Championship in 2017.
Jorinde Van Klinken’s star shone brightly as she corralled her third consecutive national title in the discus, and the first as a UO athlete.
