The NCAA Championships will begin at Gilliam Indoor Stadium on Friday, Marcy 9, and will conclude on Saturday, March 10. The top four teams on both the men’s and women’s side will return home with a trophy, with one men’s and one women’s team claiming the national championship. “This is the meet we’ve been waiting for all year,” said head coach Robert Johnson. “The goal is always to come back with a trophy and to be competitive at the highest level, so we’re going to go there and give it our best shot and see what we come away with.” The Women of Oregon have a total of 12 entries for the national indoor meet, tied for the most of any women’s team in the nation, with all but one of those coming on the track. The Men of Oregon will bring six entries to College Station, with five entries in distance events as well as the distance-medley relay. HOW TO FOLLOW The NCAA Indoor Championships will be aired live on ESPN3, and live results can be found on ncaa.com or on the track and field schedule on GoDucks.com. Updates throughout the meet will be provided on Twitter via @OregonTF and @Run4Ducks. RANKINGS The Women of Oregon are currently ranked No. 7 in the nation, while the Men of Oregon slot in at No. 16. BREAKING DOWN THE WOMEN’S ENTRIES Tied for the national lead with 12 entries, the Women of Oregon will once again be a force to be reckoned with on the national stage. Sophomore Makenzie Dunmore will hold down the 60 meters for the Ducks after ranking sixth in the nation, and Alaysha Johnson will run the 60-meter hurdles at the national indoor meet for the third year in a row. Three Ducks - Shae Anderson, Briyahna DesRosiers and Hannah Waller - will be in the 400 meters, with Waller leading the way with a No. 9 national rank. Redshirt senior Sabrina Southerland will look to carry on UO’s recent success in the 800 meters, and another transfer, Susan Ejore, will hold things down in the mile. Jessica Hull and Lilli Burdon will look to cap a tremendous indoor season with a strong showing in the 3,000 meters, and Chaquinn Cook will represent the Ducks on the infield in the triple jump. The 4x400 relay and the DMR finish up the entries for the UO women. BREAKING DOWN THE MEN’S ENTRIES The distance runners have shined for the Men of Oregon this indoor season. Oregon will send three men to College Station to run the mile: Sam Prakel, Reed Brown and Mick Stanovsek. Prakel owns the ninth-best mark in the nation, Brown is just two spots behind as a true freshman and Stanovsek, a former walk-on, has also qualified. Junior transfer James West qualified for the 3,000 meters in his first indoor season as a Duck, and Tanner Anderson earned a spot in the 5,000 meters as he builds on his productive finish on the track last season. The Men of Oregon will also run the distance-medley relay. DUCKS BRING HISTORY OF INDOOR DOMINANCE The Men and Women of Oregon have frequently been at the top of the NCAA indoor track and field world over the past decade, winning 11 total indoor team titles since 2009. The UO women have won the last two indoor championships, including last year when they scored a meet record 84 points, and seven of the last eight. The UO men have won four indoor titles in the last nine years, including three straight from 2014 to 2016. OREGON MEN SHINING IN THE MILE The milers for the Men of Oregon have performed tremendously well so far for the Ducks, already posting eight times under the elusive 4-minute mark. Redshirt senior Sam Prakel leads the Ducks with a 3:56.89 mile, and true freshman Reed Brown is right behind at 3:57.23. Redshirt sophomore Mick Stanovsek has a season-best of 3:57.90, and senior Blake Haney (3:59.01) and freshman Cooper Teare (3:59.29) have also broken the 4-minute barrier. Prakel, Brown and Stanovsek have all gone sub-4 minutes twice already this season. HULL AND BURDON RUNNING INTO UO HISTORY Jessica Hull and Lilli Burdon have enjoyed great indoor seasons so far for the Ducks. Hull and Burdon became just the second and third Ducks ever to break nine minutes in the 3,000 meters on Feb. 10 at the Husky Classic in Seattle, and they both ran under the previous UO record in the mile two weekends ago at the MPSF Championships in Seattle. Hull (4:31.76) is the new UO record-holder in the mile and is No. 2 in the 3,000 (8:58.50), while Burdon ranks second in the mile (4:32.30) and third in the 3,000 (8:59.18). Top 16 nationally in both events, Hull and Burdon will focus on the 3,000 this weekend in College Station.

MEET NOTES

WHO TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND

WHO TO WATCH: Jessica Hull (right) and Lilli Burdon (left) are both entered in the 3,000 meters this weekend at the NCAA Indoor Championships, and they rank 1-2 in the mile and 2-3 in the 3,000 meters all-time at Oregon after a terrific indoor regular season.

JOHNSON AMONG ALL-TIME GREAT COACHESIn just his sixth year as the Ducks’ head coach, Robert Johnson has already led Oregon to 13 team NCAA championships, placing him fourth on the NCAA all-time list. Only John McDonell (42), Pat Henry (35) and Ted Banks (17) have led cross country or track and field teams to more national titles. Under Johnson, the Ducks have won two NCAA championships in women’s cross country, four in women’s indoor track and field, three in men’s indoor track and field, two in women’s outdoor track and field and two in men’s outdoor track and field. Additionally, Johnson led the Women of Oregon to the the historic Triple Crown in 2016-17. Johnson has also guided his student-athletes to 48 individual national championships.

UO WOMEN COMING OFF TRIPLE CROWNThe Women of Oregon are looking to build off last year’s magical season in 2018 after becoming the first NCAA DI women’s program ever to complete the Triple Crown, with national titles in cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field in the same academic year. The UO women began the historic run with a thrilling one-point win in the 2016 NCAA Cross Country Championships, and then dominated at the NCAA Indoor Championships for their seventh indoor title in the last eight years with a meet-record 84 points. With history on the line, the Ducks pulled out a narrow victory over Georgia at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, with the 4x400 relay team running a collegiate record 3:23.13 to pull out a must-have victory in the final event and complete the Triple Crown (more on pages 12-13).

FOSTER, CARDAMA BAEZ WIN MPSF TITLESTwo Ducks came away with conference titles two weekends ago a the MPSF Championships in Seattle, with Rhesa Foster winning the long jump and Carmela Cardama Baez taking the 5,000 meters. The Men and Women of Oregon both finished third in the conference, with USC winning both team titles.

WOMEN’S SPRINTS STILL A STRONG POINTOne of the most dominant event groups in the nation in recent years, the sprinters for the Women of Oregon have been solid once again this indoor season. Makenzie Dunmore (60 meters), Alaysha Johnson (60-meter hurdles), Shae Anderson (400 meters), Briyahana DesRosiers (400) and Hannah Waller (400) are all entered in this weekend’s NCAA Indoor Championships, and young sprinters like freshmen Lauren Rain WIlliams, Jasmin Reed and Kaylah Robinson have performed well and shown that the

future is still very bright for the women’s sprints group.

RELAY TEAMS IMPRESSING IN 2018Oregon always puts a focus on earning qualifying marks in the distance-medlay relays, and the Ducks will send both DMR teams to the NCAA Indoor meet this weekend as well as the women’s 4x400 relay. The quartet of Lilli Burdon, Hannah Waller, Sabrina Southerland and Jessica Hull won in 11:00.13 in New York on Jan. 27 and currently rank sixth in the nation, while Reed Brown, Orwin Emilien, Mick Stanovsek and Sam Prakel ran 9:27.17 for the Men of Oregon last weekend at the Alex Wilson Invitational in Indiana for the fourth-best time in the nation. The women’s 4x400 relay team of Briyahna DesRosiers, Hannah Waller , Shae Anderson and Makenzie Dunmore also performed well at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational in Albuquerque, winning in 3:30.18, converted to 3:30.62 for altitude. That time ranks No. 3 in the nation entering NCAA Indoors.

COOK BREAKS UO INDOOR TRIPLE JUMP RECORDJunior Chaquinn Cook, the reigning Pac-12 champion in the triple jump, vaulted herself to the top of the UO indoor record book on Jan. 27 in New York. Cook jumped 42-11 (13.08m) in the triple jump to break the UO indoor all-time record, moving past Sasha Wallace’s previous record of 42-8. Cook improved her record to 43-0.25 (13.11m) on Feb. 10 in Albuquerque. Cook now owns the Oregon indoor triple jump record and is second all-time outdoors in the triple jump.

XC TEAMS, THREE DUCKS NAMED ALL-ACADEMICThe Oregon men’s and women’s cross country teams have both been recognized as all-academic teams by the USTFCCCA, while Katie Rainsberger, Lilli Burdon and Carmela Cardama Baez have all earned individual all-academic recognition. The Women of Oregon finished the fall with a 3.53 team GPA to earn all-academic honors, while the Men of Oregon posted a 3.19 GPA. Rainsberger maintains a 3.83 GPA in human physiology, Cardama Baez boasts a 3.75 GPA in psychology and Burdon owns a 3.28 GPA in human physiology.

CHESEREK BREAKS 3:50 IN THE MILEWhile the Ducks were securing NCAA qualifying marks on Feb. 9 and 10, former Oregon superstar Edward Cheserek make history in Boston. Cheserek ran the mile in 3:49.44, the fastest indoor mile ever on U.S. soil and the second-fastest in world history. A day later, Cheserek won the 3,000 meters at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in a PR 7:38.74.

MEET NOTES (CONT.)

DUCKS MOUNT ASSAULT ON UO RECORD BOOKThe Ducks essentially re-wrote the UO all-time indoor record book at the Columbia Challenge in New York, posting 18 marks that moved into the top 10 in Oregon history. Chaquinn Cook led the way with her indoor triple jump record, and was joined by Cravon Gillespie (3rd, 60m | 7th, 200m), Kaylah Robinson (4th, 60H), Lilli Burdon (6th, Mile), Tristan James (6th, Long Jump | 8th, Triple Jump), Sabrina Southerland (6th, 800m), Sydnee Walker (6th, Weight Throw), Hannah Waller (6th, 400m), Mick Stanovsek (7th, Mile), Maddie Rabing (8th, Weight Throw), Lauren Rain Williams (8th, 200m), Joseph Anderson (10th, 60H), Max Lydum (10th, Weight Throw) and Cameron Stone (10th, 400m). The Ducks also posted top-10 marks in the women’s 4x400 relay (6th) and the women’s DMR (8th). Overall this season, the Men and Women of Oregon have added 40 new marks to the indoor top-10 lists, with nearly half of those coming in New York.

DUCKS TASKED WITH REPLACING ELITE TALENTOregon will have to find ways to replace the production of a few all-time greats in 2018. 17-time NCAA champion Edward Cheserek is now a professional, finishing his career with the most NCAA titles of anybody ever in the sport and the most of any male athlete in the history of NCAA athletics. The Ducks also lose 2017 Bowerman winner and six-time NCAA champion Raevyn Rogers and 2016 Olympian Deajah Stevens to the professional ranks, along with last year’s NCAA 60-meter hurdle champion Sasha Wallace, 100 and 200-meter Pac-12 champion Kyree King and the top two Pac-12 finishers in the decathlon, Mitch Modin and Joe Delgado, among others.

NEW FACES, SAME GOALSThere will be a lot of new faces for Duck fans to learn in 2018, as more than 30 newcomers have joined the Men and Women of Oregon. That is nearly triple the usual amount of new faces the Ducks welcome each year. Some of the notable newcomers by way of transfer include sprinters Cravon Gillespie (Mt. SAC) and Briyahna DesRosiers (Texas A&M), jumpers Tristan James (LCC) and Spenser Schmidt (PSU) and middle distance runners Sabrina Southerland (Georgetown), Amanda Gehrich (Utah) and Ruby Stauber (LSU). Oregon also brought in an abundance of talented freshmen, including hurdlers Joseph Anderson and Kaylah Robinson, sprinters Shae Anderson, Jasmin Reed, Lauren Rain Williams and Rocky Rainey, distance runners Cooper Teare and Reed Brown and throwers Jared Briere and Austin Glynn.

DUCKS SIGN NINE FOR 2019The Ducks announced another elite recruiting class on Jan. 16, signing nine highly accomplished student-athletes from around the country and the world for 2019. The loaded incoming class includes a U.S. Junior and Pan-American champion, five state champions and three all-USA selections. The class is made up of hurdlers Eric Edwards Jr. and Emily Sloan, jumpers Lexi Ellis, DJ Henderson and Tori Sloan, middle distance

runners Taylor Chiotti and Josh Hoey and multi-event athletes Oierce LaCoste and Maximilian Vollmer.

2017 CROSS COUNTRY REVIEWThe Men and Women of Oregon each put together solid cross country seasons during the fall, with the women finishing fifth at the NCAA Championships and the men running their best race of the year to place sixth. Katie Rainsberger continued to establish herself as a budding star with a stellar season, which she began by shattering the Springfield Golf Club course record. Lilli Burdon showed she can be UO’s consistent No. 2 runner while joining Rainsberger on the all-Pac-12 first-team, and Carmela Cardama Baez proved to be a big contributor after transfering from Florida State by earning second-team all-Pac-12 honors. The Men of Oregon enjoyed a great rookie season from freshman Cooper Teare, who finished eighth at the Pac-12 Championships to earn Pac-12 freshman of the year honors. Tanner Anderson also had a good year to build off last season’s breakout performance on the track, leading the Ducks at the NCAA Championships in 41st overall with Teare just three spots behind.

ROGERS WINS 2017 BOWERMAN AWARDIn December 2017, six-time NCAA champion and eight-time all-American Raevyn Rogers became the third Woman of Oregon in the last four years to take home The Bowerman, collegiate track and field’s highest honor. Rogers earned the honor after a stellar junior season in which she swept the indoor and outdoor 800 meter NCAA titles, giving her five straight at that distance, while also anchoring the Ducks in the thrilling 4x400 relay to win the Triple Crown. Rogers’ is the fifth UO athlete to ever win The Bowerman - joining Galen Rupp, Ashton Eaton, Laura Roesler and Jenna Prandini - the most of any team in the nation. Following the 2017 season, Rogers announced she would forego her senior season to turn professional.

PRAKEL NAMED PAC-12 SCHOLAR ATHLETE FOR XCRedshirt senior Sam Prakel continued his stellar academic career during the cross country season in the fall, winning the honor of Pac-12 men’s scholar athlete of the year. The 2016 Elite 90 Award winner for indoor track and field, Prakel is a five-time Pac-12 first-team all-academic selection and a 2016 first-team academic all-America recipient while majoring in biochemistry.

2016-17 TRIPLE CROWN • THE FINAL JEWEL

TRIPLE CROWN OF TITLES FOR UO WOMEN!

By Rob Moseley - Editor, GoDucks.com6/10/17

EUGENE, Ore. — Back in November 2016, the most unlikely of circumstances set the stage for Oregon to compete for the first-ever “Triple Crown” of national championships by a women’s track and field program.

The first jewel in that crown is the NCAA cross coun-try title, won by the Ducks in November when their fifth and final scoring runner, Eugene native Maggie Schmaedick, finished one spot ahead of Michigan’s fifth and final scoring runner. That gave Oregon a one-point victory over the Wolverines for the team title, and the first jewel in the Triple Crown.

At the time, it was hard to imagine another title being so fraught with drama. To which the Ducks, at this week’s NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Champi-onships, unforgettably said: You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Three months after winning the second jewel, an NCAA Indoor title, Oregon on Saturday made history by running to the first Triple Crown of titles by an NCAA women’s program in the same academic year. The Ducks did so needing nothing short of a win in the meet’s final event, the 4x400-meter relay, and got it in thrilling fashion — by running a collegiate-record 3 minutes, 23.13 seconds, just head of runner-up USC, which also broke the previous collegiate record.

The relay win allowed Oregon to overcome a fall by 2016 Olympian Deajah Stevens in the 200 meters, which she was in contention to win before falling in the final few meters and failing to score even a single point. Georgia led the team race at that point with 62.2 points. Oregon had 54. A second-place finish in the 4x400 would have left the Ducks two-tenths of a point short of the Triple Crown. But they weren’t to be denied.

“It was awesome,” said Stevens, who recovered from her fall to run a leg on the 4x400. “We’ve had talks about getting the Triple Crown, and we were all so excited about it. I knew that we were going to come out and get it, because all the girls want the same thing and strive for the same goals. I knew we’d put it together when we had to.”

Even after her fall, Stevens said, she remained confi-dent the Ducks would pull it out. For everyone else in attendance at Hayward Field on Saturday evening, the outcome wasn’t certain until the final moments of the meet.

The day began well for Oregon, with freshman Katie Rainsberger battling to fourth in the 1,500 meters,

Alaysha Johnson and Sasha Wallace finishing fourth and sixth, respectively, for eight team points in the 100 hurdles, and Stevens and Ariana Washington finishing second and fourth, respectively, in the 100. When Raevyn Rogers won her third straight NCAA Outdoor 800-meter title, and Brooke Feldmeier kicked to a surprising third, the Ducks’ anticipated dominance Saturday was developing.

But everything changed over the final few meters of the 200. Stevens was neck-and-neck with Florida’s Kyra Jefferson, who would go on to set a collegiate record of 22.02 seconds. Stevens was in position to perhaps edge her at the line, when her toe appeared to catch on the track and she tumbled to the ground. Washington surged to finish second, but without any points from Stevens — and with Georgia dominat-ing Saturday’s field events — the Bulldogs suddenly were in position to steal the team title.

Fortunately for Oregon, it was fielding the nation’s best 4x400 quartet. And given Saturday’s dramatics, that quartet was running with some extra fire.

“We huddled up in the medical tent,” UO head coach Robert Johnson said. “We all sat down and simply said, Georgia’s got 62.2 points and we’re at 54, so we can’t be second, or we’ll lose by 0.2 points. We have to win. I said, I hate to put this all on you — but I also want to put it on you, because I wouldn’t want it to come down to any other four girls on this team. I simply told them, we’re built for this. We’re ready.”

Freshman Makenzie Dunmore ran the lead leg for the UO women, and trailed only USC when she handed the baton to Stevens. The Olympian then handed off to senior Elexis Guster, who earlier in the day finished sixth in the open 400 and then, in the relay, provided Oregon the lead by powering past the Trojans in the Bowerman Curve.

Rogers took off for the final leg with Oregon in front, and was passed by the USC anchor in the first turn. But Rogers reclaimed the lead for the Ducks soon after, and road a wave of crowd noise down the homestretch to give the UO women first place in the race, the NCAA Outdoor team title and a Triple Crown for 2016-17.

“My heart was beating so fast,” Rogers said. “We prayed about it — you know I’m all about prayer. It was something that we needed to get. I’m just glad that I was able to stay composed and be patient.”

Oregon’s victory celebration was delayed first by two Georgia protests — of Stevens’ participation in the relay after failing to finish the 200, and of her relay leg. The Bulldogs wanted to clarify that Stevens had been officially disqualified from the 200 rather than simply failing to finish, the latter requiring medical clearance prior to participation in another event. And Georgia wanted officials to review whether Stevens had remained in Oregon’s lane long enough before breaking to the inside with the rest of the field in the backstretch of the relay’s second leg.

Neither protest was successful. A thunder storm that moved in over Hayward Field further delayed Or-egon’s victory celebration. But celebrate, the Ducks eventually did.

“Is that a way to end a track meet, or what?” Johnson asked.

The ending overshadowed but couldn’t erase some gutty performances by the Ducks earlier in the day. Prior to the 4x400, the Ducks got a point in the 5,000 meters from Samantha Nadel, who joined Rains-berger in providing points toward all three national championships in the triple crown.

Hoping to ease the burden on the relay, Nadel tried to start her kick with 800 meters to go, and gain some distance on runners in the field who were stronger finishers. The tactic didn’t work out, as Nadel finished eighth in 15:48.93, but the spirit was indicative of the fight Oregon showed all day.

“We just tried to do our part and stick to our process,” said Nadel, who finished a spot ahead of teammate Lilli Burdon. “It was a little scary, what happened to Deajah, but we just tried to focus on our contribu-tion.”

Rainsberger fought through a physical 1,500 final that ended in a five-wide sprint for the finish, in which the UO freshman took fourth in 4:14.20. That followed her fourth-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in November, and two third-place finishes in the NCAA Indoor meet in March.

“I couldn’t be happier,” Rainsberger said. “I just wanted to get out there, stay composed and really run that last stretch for my teammates.”

Johnson finished fourth in the 100 hurdles in 12.72 despite — or more accurately because of, she lamented — a slow start. Two spots behind her was Wallace, who ran a season-best 12.81 in just her fourth competitive race since a quad injury earlier this spring.

“I didn’t even think I was going to have a season (back then),” Wallace said. “To say I’m top eight in the nation, I’m excited about that. That was my last college race, and I’m glad I was able to get points for my team.”

Until the dramatics of the 4x400, no Duck was hap-pier than Feldmeier. After an impressive preliminary Thursday, she said she barely slept in the ensuing two nights, so great was her anticipation for Satur-day. The lack of rest didn’t hurt — after Rogers won in 2:00.02, Feldmeier crossed third in 2:01.54, her personal best by more than a second.

“This is like a dream come true,” said Feldmeier, a junior. “I came to Oregon to run really fast. It’s taken a while, but the coaches just told me to be patient. That when it comes together, it’s gonna come quick.”

Washington also couldn’t wait for Saturday, but for a different reason. The defending NCAA champ at both 100 and 200 qualified for both finals this year on time, rather than automatically by finishing first or second in her preliminaries. She was out to show Saturday that those performances weren’t indicative of her abilities.

“I think I knew I was better than what I performed like Thursday,” said Washington, who accounted for 13 points Saturday. “We had a conversation, that we were trying too hard to get this Triple Crown. All we need to do is be ourselves, and be Oregon.”

That was enough Saturday, just barely. And it was enough, too, to make Oregon winners of the first-ever Triple Crown by an NCAA women’s team. That yearlong effort began with Schmaedick’s dramatics in cross country, and ended Saturday with Stevens’ near-disaster, then her redemption with the relay.

What a way to end a track meet, Johnson said. And what a way to carve out a place in history.

With five seasons complete as the head coach of Oregon track and field, Robert Johnson has led the Ducks to 13 team national championships while producing 12 Pac-12 titles and guid-ing 48 individuals to victories at the NCAA Championships. He in his 13th season overall with the Ducks.

Oregon’s national titles in the Johnson era include three-straight men’s indoor track and field championships (2014-16), two men’s outdoor titles (2014-15), four women’s indoor track and field wins (2013-14, 2016-17), two women’s cross country titles (2012, 2016) and two women’s outdoor track and field championship (2015, 2017).

With 13 NCAA team titles as a head coach, Johnson ranks fourth all-time among NCAA head coaches in cross country and track and field.

Most recently, Johnson and the Women of Oregon made history at the 2017 NCAA Outdoor Championships with a thrilling win to complete the historic Triple Crown - NCAA titles in cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field in the same academic year. Trailing Georgia by 8.2 points with only the 4x400 relay remaining, the Ducks ran a collegiate record 3:23.13 to win the relay, secure the NCAA championship and become the first women’s team in NCAA D-I history to complete the Triple Crown.

In addition to the dramatic outdoor win, the Ducks pulled out a one-point victory at the NCAA Cross Country Championships for the first jewel of the Triple Crown, and set the stage for the dramatics in Eugene with a record-setting performance at the NCAA Indoor Championships, scoring a meet-record 84 points.

Johnson also led the Men and Women of Oregon to their ninth straight sweep of the Pac-12 team titles in 2017, guiding both teams to blowout victories at Hayward Field. As a result, Johnson was named the 2017 Pac-12 coach of the year on both the men’s and the women’s side. Throughout the 2017 season, the Women of Oregon broke seven collegiate records (DMR(i), 60m (i), 4x100m, 4x200m, Sprint Medley Relay, 800m, 4x400m), and finished the season with at least a share of six of those records still intact. In the summer of 2017, Johnson helped guide four athletes to berths to the IAAF World Championships at the U.S. Outdoor Championships, including a U.S. title in the 200 meters by Deajah Stevens.

Johnson is one of only two coaches all-time to earn a career women’s triple crown – national titles in cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. The other coach to accomplish that is Texas legend Terry Crawford. With a national title in men’s cross country, Johnson would become the only coach in NCAA history with career triple crowns for both the men and women.Under Johnson’s guidance, Oregon has been honored as the national Women’s Program of the Year for each of the nine years of the award’s existence, while the men’s program has earned the honor five times, including three straight from 2013-15.

After a tremendously successful run as associate coach, Robert Johnson was elevated to head coach of the Oregon track and field and cross country programs in the summer of 2012. He is in his 12th season overall with the Ducks.

His leadership was evident immediately upon taking the helm of the most storied programs in collegiate track and field. Less than six months after becoming Oregon’s head coach, Johnson’s Women of Oregon set the foundation of success by winning the 2012 cross country national championship for the first time in 25 years. The Ducks followed that performance with their fourth straight women’s national indoor title in 2013. Johnson then oversaw Oregon’s men’s and women’s sweep of the Pac-12 Championships, before guiding both teams to trophy fin-ishes at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships.

In his second year as head coach, Johnson guided the Men and Women of Oregon to a sweep of the NCAA Indoor National Championships. His women became just the second team in meet history to win five consecutive NCAA indoor crowns while the men claimed their first title since 2009. Both teams followed-up with their sixth straight sweep of the Pac-12 Cham-pionships. A month later at Hayward Field the men, fueled by four individual champions, claimed their first NCAA outdoor title since 1984 by setting a meet-record 88 points and the largest margin of victory in 20 years.

Year three of the Johnson era saw three national championships as the men defended their indoor and outdoor titles. The outdoor title came by 29 points, the largest margin of victory at the NCAA Championships in 21 years. The Ducks then added the crown jewel of year three when the women collected points across the board to win Oregon’s first outdoor national championship in 30 years. The Ducks also added to their Pac-12 dominance with a sweep of the men’s and women’s track and field championships, while also claiming the 2014 women’s cross country title.

In 2015-16, Johnson led the Ducks to a sweep of the indoor championships as the Men of

HEAD COACH ROBERT JOHNSON • 6th season as HC, 13th at Oregon

Oregon claimed their third-straight national title and the Women of Oregon won the indoor crown for the third time in four years. The women added their second cross country national championships in the fall of 2016, as they came out and shocked the nation with a one-point victory over Michigan.

The Ducks have won 47 individual national titles under Johnson. Leading the charge is 17-time champion, and three-time Bowerman Award finalist, Edward Cheserek. Cheserek claimed two titles at the 2017 NCAA Indoor Championships to run his career total to 17, making him the winningest athlete in NCAA track and field/cross country history. Cheserek finished only two titles shy for the most won by an individual in the history of NCAA athletics. On the women’s side, Johnson served as a key mentor to Raevyn Rogers, who won five straight NCAA 800m titles, including indoors, and provided the memorable kick on the 4x400m relay to win the 2017 NCAA outdoor title and complete the Triple Crown. Johnson has mentored a number of other standout athletes in multiple disciplines, in-cluding Olympians Devon Allen, English Gardner, Jenna Prandini, Deajah Stevens and Ariana Washington.

Johnson has established himself as one of the top sprint, relays and horizontal jumps coaches in NCAA. He has coached Oregon student-athletes to the American women’s indoor record in the 400 meters (50.46), the U.S. junior women’s record in the 100 meters (11.03), the collegiate record in the indoor 4x400 meter relay (3:27.40) and the women’s DMR (10:38.77), the Pac-12 record in the 100 meters (10.92), a US Championship in the 100 meters as well as 26 Oregon school records. In addition to mentoring five national championship 4x400 meter teams, his athletes have won NCAA titles at 60 meters, 100 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters and long jump.

As an assistant and associate head coach from 2005 to 2012, Johnson helped lead a remarkable resurgence of an Oregon women’s program that won three straight NCAA Indoor Titles (2010-2012), claimed four straight Pac-12 Championships (2009-2012), and placed second at the NCAA Outdoor Championships four times (2009-2012). The men’s program won an NCAA Indoor title and was the NCAA Outdoor runner-up in 2009 and won conference championships each year from 2007 to 2012.

Johnson’s charges broke all but one indoor and outdoor school women’s record in the sprints, relays and horizontal jumps. On the men’s side, Mike Berry broke the school’s 41 year-old record in the 400 meters as a freshman in 2011 before going on to win a gold medal at the World Championships as a member of the U.S. 4x400 meter relay squad.

In addition to 5-time NCAA Champion Gardner, Johnson coached Keshia Baker to three consecutive conference titles in the 400 meters (2008-2011), Jamesha Youngblood to a sweep of the long and triple jumps in 2009 and 2010, and Amber Purvis to a 100/200 meter double in 2010 – the first Duck ever to win both sprint titles. In all, Johnson coached 22 conference champions and 70 All-Americans at Oregon before becoming the head coach.

Before arriving at Oregon in 2005, Johnson oversaw UCLA’s highly-regarded high jump, long jump and triple jump units, and also coordinated its strength and conditioning program. In two years with the Bruins, his men and women combined for one NCAA title, one U.S. runner-up finish, two Pac-10 titles, and eight All-America honors. His star pupils included collegiate triple jump record holder Candice Baucham, the 2005 NCAA outdoor champion and U.S. runner-up, as well as 2004 Pac-10 champion and Olympic Trials triple jump qualifier Juaune Armon.

An Appalachian State assistant coach from 1997-2003, Johnson coached 28 individual Southern Conference champions and 14 NCAA qualifiers in the long jump, triple jump, 55 meters and 100 meters. He mentored the school’s first All-America jumper—Ronda White—an outdoor triple jump All-American in 2003, along with two Southern Conference Freshmen of the Year and two Southern Conference Athletes of the Year.

As an athlete, Johnson competed for Appalachian State, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1996, and was a two-time triple jump All-American (1995, ’96), NCAA high jump qualifier (1996) and school high jump record holder (7-1 3/4). A member of the ASU Athletics Hall of Fame, he competed in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Trials.

OREGON ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE

DUCKS FINISH RECORD NINTH IN DIRECTOR’S CUP- The UO athletic department in 2016-17 posted its highest-ever finish for the third year in a row, taking ninth in the annual ranking of NCAA athletic departments. - Schools can count their best 20 team finishes (up to 10 women’s sports and 10 men’s sports) in an academic year, and Oregon took ninth despite fielding just 19 NCAA programs - more than a dozen fewer than top-two finishers Stanford and Ohio State. - The Ducks took ninth just a year after entering the top-10 for the first time in 2015-16, when the UO athletic department was 10th in the Directors’ Cup standings. A year earlier, Oregon was 13th, at that point its best finish ever. - The department earned 1,027 points toward the Directors’ Cup in 2016-2017, led by 300 from the women’s track and field program — 100 for each national title by the program in its historic “Triple Crown” year, the first by an NCAA women’s program. Oregon’s three national titles in 2016-17 were one fewer than Stanford and Oklahoma, and gave the Ducks multiple national championships for the fifth straight year, the longest active streak in the country.- The 100 points for the women’s NCAA Outdoor title contributed to Oregon’s 467 points during the spring, nearly half the department’s total for the year. The Ducks also got 90 points for the men’s golf team’s NCAA runner-up finish, 83 points for making the semifinals of the Women’s College World Series and 69 points for the ninth-place men’s NCAA Outdoor finish. The women’s golf team and both tennis programs also contributed points by reaching their respective postseasons.- This was the fifth year in a row UO finished in the top 15 of the standings, and the sixth in the last eight years.

WOMEN’S TRACK TRIPLE CROWNAfter winning national titles in women’s cross country, women’s indoor track and field and women’s outdoor track and field last years, the Ducks became the first women’s program in the history of the NCAA to sweep all three championships in a single academic year.

POSTSEASON APPEARANCES IN 2016-17- During the 2016-17 academic year, the Ducks sent 15 teams to the postseason, the most in school history. - In addition to the women’s track and field team sweeping all three national titles (cross country, indoor, outdoor), the Oregon men’s basketball program advanced to the Final Four, softball went to the Women’s College World Series and men’s golf, a year after winning a national title, finished as runner-up to Oklahoma. - Women’s basketball had a remarkable run to the Elite Eight in 2016-17 while men’s track and field finished third in the nation in indoor and ninth outdoors. - Volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s golf, men’s tennis and women’s tennis all qualified for their respective NCAA Tournaments. - Acrobatics and Tumbling finished second at the NCATA national tournament.

NATIONAL TITLES- Oregon owns 37 overall national championships. - 24 of those titles have come in the last 10 years (2007+).- The Ducks have won an incredible 31 NCAA titles in cross country or indoor and outdoor track and field. - Oregon won the first ever NCAA men’s basketball tournament in 1939. - The Ducks won their first men’s golf NCAA title in thrilling fashion at Eugene Country Club in 2016. Eugene native Sulman Raza won in a third playoff hole of his match play round to beat Texas. - Oregon’s 37 national titles include four NCATA national titles in acrobatics and tumbling, which is not yet considered an NCAA sport.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS- The Ducks have 101 all-time academic All-Americans.- Oregon averages 100 academic all-conference selections annually.
