1 Men’s Preview Men’s Outlook Who’s Back: Gone is 17-time NCAA champion and four-time Pac-12 cross country champion , the face of this team for the last four seasons. The Men of Oregon will use a good mix of returners and newcomers to fill the void left by Cheserek, led by seniors Sam Prakel and Travis Neuman. Prakel was the Ducks’ fourth finisher last season at the NCAA Championships and is coming off a solid outdoor season on the track, and Neuman looks for a strong finish to his UO career after coming in as the Ducks’ fifth finisher last fall. Junior Matthew Maton (pictured right) was the Ducks’ top finisher behind Cheserek last year at the NCAA Championships, finishing 29th overall after taking second at the NCAA West Regionals, and is looking to rebound from an injury-plagued 2016 outdoor season. Fellow junior Tanner Anderson is coming off a tremendous outdoor track season in which he qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 10,000 meters, and he finished third for the Ducks and 68th overall at last year’s NCAA Championships. Redshirt senior Bryan Fernandez and redshirt junior Blake Haney, who did not run cross country last season, round out the group of returning upper-classmen. Five Ducks return with three seasons of cross country eligibility remaining. Matthew Maton Redshirt sophomore Mick Stanovsek was fourth in the 800 meters at the Pac-12 Championships last outdoor season and returns for his second cross country season, and sophomore Levi Thomet ran for the Ducks last year in the NCAA Championships as a freshman. Austin Tamagno also returns for his sophomore seasons, and Jackson Mestler and Jack Yearian will be redshirt freshmen for the cross country season. Who’s New: Four newcomers have joined the Men of Oregon for the 2017 season, two returners and two transfers. Connor Clark comes to the Ducks from Dartmouth with just one year of cross country eligibility remaining, and redshirt junior James West joins Oregon as a transfer out of Loughborough University in the United Kingdom. West ran for British Athletics in the 1,500 meters at the 2017 European U23 Championships and was the 2015 U20 National Indoor Champion, while Clark was honored by Dartmouth with the Paul S. Harmon ‘13 Trophy last season for showing great improvement through his college career. Reed Brown and Cooper Teare will be the two true freshmen on the roster for the Ducks, with both coming off tremendous high school careers. Brown was the Texas 6A state champion in the 3,200 meters, breaking a 32-year-old state record with a time of 8:50.43, and was the 2016 Texas Boys All-Area Track and Field Athlete of the Year and 2015 Texas Gatorade Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. Teare was the 2016 California state champion in the 3,200 meters at 8:51.85 as well as a 2015 state cross country champion, and he was fourth in the 2016 U.S. U.S. Olympic Trials Nike Elite Camp High School Exhibition at with a PR time of 4:06.79. Outlook: Despite the departure of Cheserek, arguably the greatest collegiate cross country runner in NCAA history, the Men of Oregon should once again field a solid team and will compete both on the Pac-12 and national stages. With a strong returning group and an accomplished mix of newcomers, the eight-ranked Ducks will also have some depth to work with throughout the season. 2017 ROSTER Name CL Hometown (Previous School(s)) Tanner Anderson Jr. Spokane, Wash.

2 Women’s Preview Women’s Outlook Who’s Back: Coming off a magical 2016 season in which they took home the national championship in dramatic fashion and secured the first jewel in the eventual Triple Crown, the Women of Oregon return six student-athletes as they begin their NCAA title defense. Outstanding sophomore (pictured below), the Ducks’ top runner last season as a freshman, highlights the group of returners along with redshirt senior Alli Cash. Rainsberger took fourth at the NCAA Championships last year to lead the Ducks to the national title before enjoying a phenomenal season on the track, and Cash was 14th overall last season at NCAAs and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in her final season. Senior Emma Abrahamson and junior also return after helping the Ducks secure the championship last season, and both performed well on the track last spring with point-scoring performances in the 1,500 meters at the Pac-12 Championships. Sophomore Lilli Burdon, an NCAA qualifier in the 5,000 meters last spring, and redshirt freshman Rennie Kendrick round out the group of returners for the Ducks. Who’s New: The Ducks make up for the losses of three NCAA Championship Katie Rainsberger participants from last year, Samantha Nadel, Ashley Maton and Maggie Schmaedick, by adding six newcomers to the 2017 roster. Four of the six newcomers come by way of transfer in redshirt senior Sabrina Southerland, juniors Susan Ejore and Carmela Cardama Baez and sophomore Judy Pendergast. Southerland, an all-American and three-time Big East champion from Georgetown, brings a wealth of 1,500 meter experience to Oregon for her final year of eligibility. Ejore, a native of Nakuru, Kenya, by way of Monroe College in New York, was the runner-up in the 2016 NJCAA Cross Country Championships and was a five-time NJCAA all-American. Cardama Baez is a two-time all-ACC selection from Vigo, Spain, who comes to the Ducks after being Florida State’s top cross country runner the last two seasons, capped by a 73rd-place finish at last year’s NCAA Championships. Pendergast, a Naperville, Ill., native, rounds out the group of transfers for the Ducks after competing at Harvard and earning all-Ivy League first-team honors as a freshman last season. A pair of true freshmen, Kate Murphy and Kiley McCarthy, complete the 2017 roster for the Women of Oregon. Murphy enjoyed a tremendous high school career at Lake Braddock High School in Virginia, winning the Virginia 6A state cross country title in 2016, and has also thrived on the national stage with a win in the 3,000 meters at the 2016 USATF Junior Championships. Murphy also was a semifinalist at Hayward Field in the 1,500 meters at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials, but she will most likely redshirt the cross country season as she works her way back to fitness. McCarthy rounds out the Oregon roster after a strong high school career at Carlsbad High School in California that she capped by winning the 800 meters at the Avocado West League Championships. Outlook: Despite losing a few key contributors to graduation, the second-ranked Women of Oregon once again appear to boast a squad deep and talented enough to compete for the national championship. Rainsberger and Cash will lead the way along with Hull, who really began to emerge last season on the track, and multiple newcomers appear ready and able to step up and fill important spots for the Ducks. 2017 ROSTER Name CL Hometown (Previous School(s)) Emma Abrahamson Sr. Carlsbad, Calif.

Maton had one of the best races of his young career with a fourth-place finish in 24:07.7, while Anderson was solid with an 18th-place finish in 24:22.9.

Sam Nadel 4 Season Review

Pac-12 Championships Edward Cheserek won his unprecedented fourth straight Pac-12 men’s cross country individual championship Oct. 28 on a sweltering Rudolph North Golf Course in Tucson. Despite record temperatures in Arizona, Cheserek took the lead with 3,000 meters remaining and surged away from the pack to win comfortably in 23:58.9. Cheserek entered the day with three career cross country titles, which was tied for the most in league history with distance legends Steve Prefontaine of Oregon and Washington State’s . Meanwhile, Katie Rainsberger staked her claim as the league’s top freshman by leading the Duck women to a fourth-place finish. Rainsberger’s fifth-place run in 20:30.6 was the highest finish by a Duck true freshman since was third in 2009. No. 7 Colorado won its sixth straight Pac-12 men’s title with 41 points.

In the men’s race, Travis Neuman had his best race of the season as Oregon’s No. 2 runner. The junior from Bend, Ore., was 13th overall in 24:44.4. The Ducks also counted freshman Levi Thomet’s 22nd-place finish (25:00.00), sophomore Matthew Maton’s 28th-place effort (25:03.7) and sophomore Tanner Anderson’s 30th-place finish (25:06.9).

The Ducks also counted senior Sam Nadel’s 22nd-place finish (21:17.0), junior Emma Abrahamson’s 23rd-place showing (21:18.2) and senior Maggie Schmaedick’s 25th-place finish (21:21.3). Oregon also had Jessica Hull 27th in Edward Cheserek 21:23.3. Amy-Eloise Neal of Washington was the individual medalist in 20:22.9. NCAA West Regional Edward Cheserek and Matthew Maton finished first and second, respectively, to lead the Men of Oregon at the NCAA West Regional Championships Nov. 11 at Haggin Oaks Golf Course. Both the men’s and the women’s teams finished fourth. Cheserek, recently named the Pac-12 athlete of the year for the fourth time in his career, continues to make history with every race and by winning Friday in 29:23.7, he became the first Duck to win three NCAA West Region crowns. Maton, a sophomore from Bend., Ore., was nearly as impressive. He posted a career-best second-place finish in 29:44.9 as the men ran at 10,000 meters for the first time this year. The two automatic bids on the men’s side went to No. 4 Stanford, which won with 75 points, and runner-up No. 12 Portland (90 points). No. 10 UCLA was third with 112 points, followed by No. 10 Oregon (122) and No. 17 Washington State (143). No. 7 Stanford won the women’s race with 71 points. No. 4 Washington locked up the other NCAA automatic bid by finishing second with 88 points. No. 16 San Francisco jumped into third with 101 points with No. 11 Oregon fourth (107) and No. 10 Portland fifth (130). Alli Cash led three Duck women who finished in the top 15 with her best finish at the Regional level. The junior was fifth in 19:43.5. Katie Rainsberger was the top freshman in the race after finishing 11th in 19:52.5. The Ducks also counted senior Sam Nadel’s 15th-place finish (19:58.9), sophomore Jessica Hull’s 37th-place run (20:26.7) and senior Ashley Maton’s 41st-place finish (20:32.5). Behind the 1-2 finish of Cheserek and Maton, the men were scattered throughout the pack. Sophomore Tanner Anderson was 32nd in 30:17.3, senior Tim Gorman took 43rd in 30:33.6 and senior Jake Leingang was 46th in 30:36.3. The competition for the two automatic women’s spots for the NCAA Championships was close as expected, with Stanford and Washington getting the nods at the end of the day. Oregon and San Francisco battled throughout the race before the Dons edged out the Ducks for third by placing four runners in the top 25. The Ducks nearly countered that effort with three runners of their own in the top 15, but Oregon’s fourth and Matthew Maton fifth runners were a few places too far back to make up the gap. Oregon’s coaches have been stating that fifth-year senior Ashley Maton has arguably been the women’s squad’s most improved runner and no meet this season exemplified that more the West Regional. She finished a career-best 41st (20:32.5), which was nearly 40 places better than last season’s regional meet where she was 80th.

Tanner Anderson 5 Season Review 2016 SEASON RESULTS NCAA Championships She was just trying to beat the next kid.” Schmaedick’s race was a fitting end to the Ducks’ fall season. Oregon came into nationals ranked 12th in The Oregon cross country program captured a national title Nov. 19 at the the country. That reflected their fourth-place finish in unseasonably warm NCAA championships, though not the one most were expecting.

Through it all, Powell’s team stayed focused on the ultimate Cheserek finished third as the UO men took ninth as a team. Freshman finish line: the one at the end of the six-kilometer race. They fought to the Katie Rainsberger finished fourth for the Duck women over the six- very last step: the one that propelled Schmaedick past Michigan’s Jaimie kilometer LaVern Gibson Championship Course, in 19:51.1, leading three Phelan.

Junior Alli Cash was 14th in 20:08.2, “There’s no glory in fighting for 64th or 65th,” Schmaedick said later. “I and Samantha Nadel took 21st in 20:14.0. By the time seniors Ashley don’t really care what that number is. But it mattered at the end of the Maton (61st, 20:37.0) and Maggie Schmaedick (64th, 20:38.1) crossed day. I’m just so happy I could help out.” Rainsberger led Oregon’s five the finish line, the Ducks knew they’d run exceptionally well. Butthe scorers by finishing fourth, a brilliant NCAA championships debut by the projected champs from Colorado also had a solid day, and Michigan was freshman, and a welcome bounceback from her labored effort at regionals. led across the line by the second-place individual, senior Erin Finn. After She was shadowed for much of the race by junior Alli Cash, whose season an agonizing wait that included reviewing race video for confirmation, the debut was delayed by injury, but who got back into peak condition at Ducks were announced as national champs with 125 team points, one fewer exactly the right time. Next across for the Ducks was senior Samantha than the Wolverines. Only then did the significance of Schmaedick’s finish Nadel, a transfer from Georgetown who made a substantial move through — one place and one-tenth of a second ahead of Michigan’s fifth finisher the field over the final 3k and finished eight spots ahead of Michigan’s No. — begin to resonate. Colorado was third with 134 points. The Oregon 3 runner. And then, another duo that ran together, seniors Ashley Maton and women won their fourth NCAA cross country title, having previously Schmaedick.

The Ducks also got scoring efforts from sophomore Tanner Pre-race favorite Colorado, known as strong closers, lurked outside the top Anderson (68th, 30:39.9), junior Sam Prakel (104th, 30:53.6) and junior three. The Ducks’ optimism was growing. “I knew Ashley was having a Travis Neuman (151st, 31:14.9). The 12th-ranked UO women became the good race,” Schmaedick said of Maton, who finished one second in front lowest-ranked team to win an NCAA title. The previous record was set of her. “You could just tell by her body language. And I could tell by the when No. 4 Georgetown won in 2011. Rainsberger’s fourth-place finish body language of the coaches — Maurica and (her husband, UO men’s was highest-ever by a UO freshman. The men finished in the top 10 for the coach) Andy sprinting around frantically — I just had a good feeling. I fourth straight year. didn’t know what the team score was going to be, but I knew it was going Schmaedick’s Kamikaze Kick to be a good day.” The Ducks had come into the race believing they were underrated at No. 12.

9 Men’s Cross Country History

OREGON MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY HISTORY y winning back-to-back NCAA Championships (2007-08) for the first time in 35 years and adding another podium Bfinihs in 2015, the Oregon cross country team is in the midst of another Golden Era of running in what will undoubtedly be another memorable chapter to the storied legend that embodies the tradition of the Men of Oregon. Edward Cheserek has added to that legacy, by becoming the first man in NCAA history to win three consecutive NCAA indivual championships. In 2013, Cheserek became the first freshman in the history of the storied program to win the NCAA individual cross country national title. He followed that by capturing the title again in 2014 to become just the second person in Oregon history to win back-to-back NCAA crowns. He made NCAA history with his historic win in 2015. As a senior in 2016, Cheserek fell just short in his bid for a fourth NCAA title, but did win an unprecented fourth straight Pac-12 individual title. In their 41 trips to the NCAA Championships, the Men of Oregon have claimed six NCAA titles, eight runner-up finishes and four more third-place efforts among their 35 top-10 finishes. The University of Oregon fielded its first track and field team in 1897. A decade later, Oregon’s first great track and field head coach, Bill Hayward, began an amazing 44-year career with the Ducks from 1904-47, and assisted Olympic squads from 1908-32. The Ducks featured three Olympic distance runners during that period — Americans Walter McClure (1912, 800 meters) and Ralph Hill (1932, 5,000 meters, 2nd) and Canadian Jack Hutchins (1948, 800/1,500 meters; 1952, 800 meters). Hill, a native of Klamath Falls, Ore., broke the American mile record in 1930 (4:12.4), then added the American 5,000 meter record in 1932 (14:30.0). The Ducks’ exceptional distance tradition continued in the 1950s under the guidance of another legendary coach, who later served as the 1972 U.S. Olympic head coach. Springfield, Ore., native Bill Dellinger won Oregon’s first NCAA distance title in the mile in 1954, was the collegiate mile runner-up in ’55, then added the 5,000 meter crown in ’56. After college, he set six American records, two world records and made three Olympic appearances, earning the 1964 Olympic 5,000 meter bronze medal. His teammate Jim Bailey was also an NCAA mile champion (1955) and Olympian (800 meters, 1956), and became the first miler to break the 4:00 minute mark on U.S. soil in in 1956 (3:58.6). The mile and 1,500 meters continued to be Oregon trademarks thanks to four straight NCAA titles by Jim Grelle (1959) and (1960-63). The Cottage Grove, Ore., native Burleson eventually claimed a pair of top-six Olympic finishes in the 1,500 meters (sixth, 1960; fifth, ’64) and four American records during his collegiate career. Oregon’s first trips to the NCAA Cross Country Championships were rewarded with instant success. The Ducks scored runner- up NCAA finishes in ’63 and ’64 and were led by All-Americans Clayton Steinke and Ken Moore who placed 11th and 14th in 1963, respectively. A decade later, Moore placed fourth in the 1972 Olympic after finishing 14th in ’68. That same 1972 Olympic team showcased another Duck great — Steve Prefontaine — who helped transform the sport under the guidance of Dellinger, who had rejoined the program as an assistant coach in 1968 and assumed the head post in 1972. Prefontaine arrived as a confident, talented star from the blue collar, coastal town of Coos Bay, Ore., and immediately demonstrated how he had become the U.S. junior record holder in the 2-mile (8:41.5, 1969). That fall, Prefontaine finished third as a freshman in the 1969 NCAA Cross Country Championships, then added three NCAA cross country individual titles, leading the Ducks to two NCAA cross country team victories (1971, ’73) and second- and third-place finishes in 1969 and ’70. Though Pre passed away tragically in a car crash in 1975, a host of other Oregon runners shared his pursuit for American records and Olympic berths. “Dellinger’s Army” added a third NCAA team title in 1974 thanks to a quartet of All-Americans who finished top 25 — Paul Geis (fourth), Dave Taylor (fifth), Terry Williams (sixth) and Gary Barger (25th). 10 Men’s Cross Country History

A new generation of Oregon excellence was introduced in 1976 with the arrival of freshmen and who combined for one NCAA title, four top-10 NCAA finishes and seven cross country All-America honors. The duo, along with All-Americans Don Clary, Bill McChesney, Jr. and , won the fourth NCAA cross country team championship for the Ducks in 1977. Members from what are considered among UO’s greatest teams ultimately combined for an amazing six Olympic and two World Championships invitations on the track. UO’s success continued in the ’80s and ’90s as eventual World Championships qualifiers Jim Hill and Brad Hudson scored top-10 NCAA cross country finishes. Other top-five NCAA teams featured Olympians and World Championships vets Karl Keska, Danny Lopez, Dan Nelson and Nick Rogers. The three-time Olympian Dellinger also returned to the event as a U.S. assistant coach for the 1984 Los Angeles . Steve Fein continued the distance tradition when he took third in the NCAA Championships in 1999 as the top American finisher — less than a month after his Pac-10 and West Regional wins. Jason Hartmann followed with three All-America honors in 1999, 2000 and 2002 and became the third Duck ever to accomplish the feat. His last honor helped UO to its 18th top-five NCAA team finish in 2002. helped usher Oregon into another Golden Era of running. The Ducks won back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2007 and 2008 and a new stable of athletes takes their place among the legends of Oregon. won an unprecedented six NCAA distance race championships during the 2008-09 academic year. He was the 2008 individual cross country champion and followed that with NCAA indoor wins at 3,000 and 5,000 meters, anchored the winning team and capped his remarkable career with NCAA outdoor titles at 5,000 and 10,000 meters. His last race in an Oregon singlet was the 2009 USA Track & Field Championships at Historic Hayward Field, where he won his first American title at 10,000 meters. He was also selected as the NCAA Division I Academic All-American of the Year, becoming the first track and field student-athlete to be so honored. A three-time Pac-10 champion, Rupp finished his career with a school-record 14 All-America awards. Yet, Rupp was just one of the next generation of runners to flourish in the Golden Age under Lananna, Oregon’s back- to-back NCAA titles were made possible by All-Americans like Shadrack Biwott, who won the 2007 Pac-10 title, , Matthew Centrowitz, A.J. Acosta, , Kenny Klotz and Daniel and Diego Mercado. Puskedra, Centrowitz, Klotz and Danny Mercado all earned All-America status during the Ducks’ 2009 NCAA runner-up finish. That golden age has continued under current head coach Robert Johnson and associate head coach Andy Powell with Cheserek leading the Ducks to a top-five national finish in 2013. Oregon followed that in 2014 by becoming the first school in 25 years to have runners finish first and second. Cheserek won for the second year in a row, followed by as the runner-up to become the first teammates to finish 1-2 in the men’s championships since John Nuttall and Jonah Koech of Iowa State in 1989. With his third win in 2015, Cheserek joined a club of distance running legends that of Washington State (1966, 1967, 1969) Steve Prefontaine of Oregon (1970, 1971, 1973) and Henry Rono of Washington State (1976, 1977, 1979) as the only three-time NCAA individual champions. Cheserek is the only one of those four to win three in a row.

OREGON WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY HISTORY inning the NCAA title under first year head coach Robert Johnson in 2012 on the heels of back-to-back NCAA Wrunner-up finishes in 2007-08, the Oregon women’s cross country team has reestablished itself among the nation’s distance programs, and added a bronze trophy to the mantle in 2015. That merely set the stage for Oregon’s historic win in 2016 - defeating Michgan by a single point, and in the process, becoming the lowest-seeded team ever (No. 12) to win the NCAA Championship. Oregon’s women’s team has been a leader in cross country throughout its history dating back to Maryl Barker who placed fourth in the 1974 AIAW Invitational. The AIAW held its first national cross country championship in 1975, and Oregon head coach Tom Heinonen and his Ducks finished fourth that year to start a string of 10 consecutive top-10 team finishes in the AIAW and NCAA Championships, including a national championship in 1983. Oregon’s magical run in the ’70s and ’80s featured several of the NCAA’s greatest runners, including a trio of top-five NCAA Championships finishers — Leann Warren (second, 1981), Kathy Hayes (third, 1983) and Annette Hand (Peters) (fifth, 1987). Heinonen’s tremendous success continued in the ’80s and ’90s, and he was rewarded with his second NCAA Coach of the Year honor when Oregon won again in 1987. Oregon cross country had 10 more NCAA appearances in the 1990’s that featured four more top-10 NCAA individual placers — Lisa Karnopp (third, 1991), Melody Fairchild (ninth, 1995) and Marie Davis (ninth, 1997, 1998). The 1995 squad was one of UO’s best ever with six eventual All-Americans on its squad — Fairchild, Jenna Carlson, Milena Glusac, Davis, Niamh Zwagerman and Kaarin Knudson. By the end of Heinonen’s 28th and final cross country season in 2002, UO had qualified for the national finale as a team 24 times and advanced individuals three of the other four years. In that span, Oregon celebrated 18 top-10 team finishes, including six, top-three finishes. The Ducks’ dominance in the Pac-10 and West Regional is equally impressive. In the West Regional, they have won 14 team titles — the most of any team — and their 34 top-five finishes includes 10 individual champions. Since the inception of the Pac-10 (now Pac-12) women’s finale in 1986, the Oregon women own a conference-best 10 individual crowns, including Jordan Hasay in 2010 and Nicole Blood in 2009. Their eight team titles ranks second among the 12 women’s programs. It was no surprise under Vin Lananna that the Ducks began their resurgence that saw the 2007 and 2008 squads post runner- up finishes at the NCAA Championships, NCAA West Regional and Pacific-10 conference meets. Alexandra Kosinski became the NCAA West Regional champion for the first time in her career in 2008, followed by Hasay in 2010. Hasay, Kosinski, Blood and Mattie Bridgmon all earned All-America status in recent years, with Hasay taking third at the 2010 Championships. In 2012, it was seniors Hasay, Alexi Pappas and Katie Conlon all earning All-America nods, along with Allie Woodward and Annie Leblanc who scored for the NCAA champions. A trio of All-Americans, Waverly Neer, Alli Cash and Molly Grabill led Oregon back to the podium with a third-place finish in 2015. The 2016 season saw freshman Katie Rainsberger set the pace by finishing fourth at the national championships, where Cash and Sam Nadel also earned all-America honors. 16 Women’s Cross Country History

22 Steve Prefontaine Steve Prefontaine

Steve Prefontaine was born in Coos Bay, Oregon on January 25, 1951. Although he was tragically involved in a fatal car accident in Eugene on May 30, 1975, his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of countless track and field fans around the world. Pre began his running career at Marshfield High School in Coos Bay, where he was coached by Walter McClure, a former Oregon track star. He went undefeated in cross country and track as a junior and senior. As a senior, he broke the American record for in the Corvallis Invitational with a time of 8:41.5. Bill Dellinger, then an Oregon assistant track and cross coach, first saw Pre run as a junior at the state cross country meet in November 1967 at the urging of McClure. Prefontaine signed with the University of Oregon on Tuesday, April 29, 1969. Between the time he entered the University of Oregon in the fall of 1969 and when he graduated in the summer of 1973, Pre won seven NCAA titles—three in cross country (1970, 1971, 1973) and four in the three-mile in track (1970, 1971, 1972, and 1973)—becoming the first collegian to accomplish the feat in track and the second in cross country. He won Pac-8 Conference championships in the 3-mile in 1970, 1971, 1972, and 1973, in addition to the mile title in 1971. In his first outdoor track race, he won the 2-mile in a triangular against Fresno State and Stanford in Fresno, Calif., on March 21, 1970. Later that first season, he clocked a 3:57.4 mile at the Oregon Twilight, finishing second and setting an Oregon freshman record. Pre’s victories became legendary. His first NCAA 3-mile track title in 1970 came with a dozen stitches in his foot after being involved in a diving board accident just days before. His final cross country victory came after making up a 100-yard deficit on Western Kentucky’s English distance star Nick Rose. At the close of his collegiate career he had set eight collegiate track records. Altogether, Pre raced at Hayward Field in Eugene in 38 races between 1970-75, losing only three times and all at one mile. He owned every (8) American record between 2,000 and 10,000 meters and between two miles and six miles. He also held eight collegiate records while at Oregon, with his three-mile (12:53.4) and six-mile (27:09.4) performances still standing. During his career, he broke his own or other American records 14 different times, broke the four-minute barrier nine times, ran 25 two-mile races under 8:40, and 10 5,000 meter races faster than 13:30. He competed in the 1972 Summer Games in Munich, when he was 21 years old and two years younger than anyone else in the 5,000 meters field. Taking the lead with a mile to go, and holding it until less than 600 meters remaining, he ultimately finished fourth (13:28.25) behind Lasse Viren of Finland (first, 13:26.42), Mohamed Gammoudi of Tunisia (second, 13:27.33), and Ian Stewart of Great Britain (third, 13:27.61). Stewart passed Prefontaine less than 10 meters from the finish line for the last medal. Today, Pre’s impact can be found in the Steve Prefontaine Memorial Jogging Trail, 6.3 kilometers of wood chip path that winds through Alton Baker Park in Eugene. His life has been the subject of several recent books, movies and videos. A memorial was “It’s more than just a race, it’s dedicated in 1997 at the corner of Birch Lane and Skyline Drive in Eugene—the site a style. It’s doing something of his fatal car accident. better than anyone else.
