UO Women win NCAA Indoor Title, Again!
The Oregon track and field women’s team won its seventh NCAA indoor title in the last eight years on Saturday, breaking the all-time meet scoring record while doing so, and four Ducks claimed individual national championships at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Gilliam Indoor Stadium. The Women of Oregon scored 84 points to shatter the 29-year-old scoring record of 71, set by Texas in 1988. Hannah Cunliffe (60 meters), Sasha Wallace (60-meter hurdles), Raevyn Rogers (800 meters) and Ariana Washington (200 meters) each hauled in individual titles to lead the Ducks to the historic win. Oregon finished 33 points ahead of second-place Georgia to run away with the title.
