— Oregon decathletes Mitch Modin and Joe Delgado started out Pac-12 Championship scoring strong for the Oregon track and field team. The Pac-12 Championships begin this weekend for the majority of the Oregon track team.
The multi-event championships took place a week earlier, this past Saturday and Sunday in Seattle, Washington. Junior Mitch Modin captured second place, while redshirt sophomore Joe Delgado jumped from fifth to third place in the final event of the decathlon—the 1500-meter—running a staggering 4:17.49. This gives Oregon 14 team points going into Saturday’s competition.
— Oregon track and field’s Marcus Chambers has big goals as he heads home, to Washington, for the Pac-12 Championships this weekend. He hopes to win his second-straight Pac-12 400-meter title and take that momentum into the NCAA Championships. After placing second at NCAAs last year, Chambers is looking to win and take that confidence into the Olympic Trials in July.
— The Oregon softball team beat Utah 5-1 on Thursday to clinch its fourth-consecutive Pac-12 title. The Ducks became the first team in Pac-12 history to win four-straight conference championships.
— The Oregon women’s basketball team received a verbal commitment from Aina Ayuso, a 5-foot-11 guard from Barcelona, Spain. She is the first commitment for the Ducks’ 2017 class.
— Oregon men’s club rowing will compete in the Pac-12 Regatta for the first time on May 13-15 in Sacramento, California. The team looks to establish itself as a premier club program among a field of other club teams and four Division I programs.
