PORTLAND, Ore. --- Portland's Logan Orndorf from the men's track and field team and Darian Slaga of women's basketball have been named the University of Portland's U.S. Bank Student-Athletes of the Month for January.
At the UW Indoor Preview in early January, Orndorf became the first Pilot in UP history to run a sub-four-minute mile (3:59.94). The redshirt-senior from Duvall, Wash., also produced another incredible performance a few weeks later at the UW Invite to move up to second all-time in the indoor 3000m, finishing sixth in his heat with a time of 7:52.33.
