The 2017 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships took place from June 7-10 at Hayward Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. Two Miners brought home NCAA titles—freshman star Emmanuel Korir and sophomore sensation Tobi Amusan.
The last time multiple Miners won individual titles at the NCAA Championships in track and field was when Peter Lemashon (800-meter), Michael Musyoki (10,000-meter), Jennifer Smith (shot put), and Ria Stahlman (discus throw) did so in 1978.
Korir finished his freshman season on a high note by winning a second straight NCAA title on Friday, June 9, after winning the 800-meter run indoors earlier this year.
