UO Men NCAA Champs Indoors
Behind a 1-2-3 finish in the 3,000 meters, the Men of Oregon track and field team brought home its second straight NCAA Indoor team title Saturday with 74 points at the Randal Tyson Track Center. Eric Jenkins followed his win in the 5,000 meters Friday by capturing the 3,000 on Saturday in 7:58.81. Jenkins won with a kick in the homestretch that pushed him past teammate Edward Cheserek, who won the mile earlier in the day. Will Geoghegan was third, giving Oregon 24 team points in the event, after the Ducks entered the event needing 11 to clinch the title over Florida. “You can’t say enough about those guys,” UO coach Robert Johnson said. “To be able to finish it off the way they did in the 3k is absolutely outstanding.” The Oregon women saw their streak of team titles end at five, despite exceeding last year’s winning total with 46.5 points to trail only host Arkansas. Jenna Prandini followed her long jump title Friday by finishing second in the 200 meters and fourth in the 60 on Saturday; her 23 points made her the high-point scorer in the meet, while Cheserek led male competitors with 20.5, just ahead of Jenkins’ 20.

Oregon’s third straight NCAA Tournament appearance doesn’t lack for storylines. The Ducks were announced as the No. 8 seed in the West Region on Sunday, a day after losing in the final of the Pac-12 Tournament. It will be the first time in school history the UO men play in the Big Dance three consecutive seasons. Oregon will open the tournament Friday night against Oklahoma State, the team the Ducks beat to open their 2013 run to the Sweet Sixteen. Looming in the next round would be the West’s top seed, Wisconsin, which denied the Ducks a Sweet Sixteen bid last season. And all of that will take place in Omaha, Neb.
