DIVISION I WOMEN’S INDOOR TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2017 Championship 2 History 6 All-Time Team Results 18 2017 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS 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. “That’s the ultimate goal,” head coach Robert Johnson said of winning another title. “To be able to accomplish that is definitely fulfilling for us because that’s our whole goal and aspiration. Good performances all around. It’s a true testament to our support staff in keeping the kids ready and to our coaches keeping them focused. Fantastic job all around by everyone involved in this. It’s a total team effort from the staff down to the kids who were able to go out there and execute.” “We came here to win a team title,” Washington said, “and we did it, we locked it up. We knew what we came here to do and I think all season, ever since cross country won, we’ve had a goal of getting this done. So no matter how we had to do it, we were gonna do it.” The day opened for the women with a trio of Ducks in the 60-meter finals. Cunliffe, the collegiate record-holder in the event, won her first-career national title in 7.14 seconds, and Ariana Washington (7.20) and Deajah Stevens (7.22) took third and fifth, respectively, to put a fast 20 points on the board for the Ducks. “It feels great,” Cunliffe said. “I accomplished what I came here to do and it feels so great getting that national championship.” Wallace, a senior competing indoors for the final time, brought home her first individual title in the 60-meter hurdles in 7.90, adding 10 more points to the Ducks’ total. Alaysha Johnson finished eighth in 8.13 to contribute a point the team’s winning total. “Coming off last year, I really wanted to redeem myself and get the title,” Wallace said. “It’s been a journey, to come here and compete in the finals since my freshman year and finally get the title. I’m really excited about it.” About 20 minutes later, Rogers repeated as the national champion in the 800 meters with meet and facility record time of 2:01.09. Rogers has now won the last four 800-meter titles, two indoors and two outdoors. “I just tried to stay composed, do my best and give it everything I had,” Rogers said. “I couldn’t be any happier and anymore blessed. My whole family, high school family and summer track family are all here, and I’m so blessed to have them here to have them see what I was able to do.” With the Women of Oregon up to 47 points and sitting in second behind Georgia, a tremendous performance in the 200 meters vaulted them to the top of the team standings for good. Washington, last year’s outdoor 200-meter champion, claimed the first indoor championship of her career in an Oregon and facility record 22.42. Cunliffe was right behind in second in 22.53, marking the first time a team finished 1-2 in the 200 meters since Auburn in 2010. “We just knew that we were ready to really run fast,” Washington said. “It’s a comfort getting to line up next to the teammates that I line up next to every single day, ‘it’s just like practice,’ we say before each race. We wish Deajah could have been with us in this one, but we’re really happy with the results.” The Ducks moved past Texas for the all-time scoring record in the 3,000 meters, as Katie Rainsberger and Samantha Nadel came in third and fourth, respec- tively. Rainsberger (9:09.87), a freshman, added the third-place finish to her resume that already includes a fourth-place showing at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, and Nadel was right behind in 9:10.88 to give the Ducks 76 points and the record. A very competitive 4x400 relay wrapped up the meet, with the Ducks taking second in 3:27.07 and claiming both the UO record and second-fastest time in collegiate indoor history. The quartet of Makenzie Dunmore, Stevens, Elexis Guster and Rogers ran an inspiring race and were right with first-place Southern California the entire time. The Women of Oregon continued their indoor dominance, repeating as champions and winning their seventh indoor title in the last eight years. Overall, the Ducks earned their ninth national championship in track and field, and 13th total including cross country. Johnson had put it upon the Ducks to prove the media right in its projections that Oregon would take over the record that stood for nearly 30 years, and the Women of Oregon obliged in statement fashion. 2017 Championship 2 TEAM RESULTS 18 BYU 11 39 Akron 5 18 LSU 11 41 Oklahoma 4 1 Oregon 84 21 Samford 10 41 Providence 4 2 Georgia 51 21 San Diego St. 10 41 North Carolina 4 3 Alabama 37 21 Cincinnati 10 41 Iowa 4 4 Southern California 35 21 Mississippi St. 10 41 Georgia St. 4 5 Arkansas 32.5 25 South Carolina 9 46 Texas Tech 3.5 6 Kentucky 26 25 Texas 9 47 Indiana 3 7 Colorado 21 27 Kansas St. 8 47 Air Force 3 8 Missouri 18 27 Arizona St. 8 47 UTEP 3 8 Miami 18 27 Ohio St. 8 47 Eastern Mich. 3 10 Penn St. 14 27 Kent St. 8 47 Iowa St. 3 10 Stanford 14 27 New Hampshire 8 52 Kansas 2 12 Ole Miss 13 27 Virginia Tech 8 52 Wisconsin 2 12 Texas A&M 13 33 Notre Dame 7 52 Vanderbilt 2 14 Purdue 12 33 Furman 7 55 Washington 1.5 14 Michigan 12 35 Arizona 6.5 56 North Dakota St. 1 14 Baylor 12 36 Illinois 6 56 Middle Tenn. 1 14 Florida 12 36 Auburn 6 56 Harvard 1 18 Louisville 11 36 Charlotte 6 56 UCF 1 39 Oklahoma St. 5 56 Villanova 1 2017 INDIVIDUAL RESULTS 800-Meter Run Name School Time 60-Meter Dash 1 Raevyn Rogers Oregon 02:01.09 Name School Time 2 Hanna Green Virginia Tech 02:02.1 1 Hannah Cunliffe Oregon 7.14 3 Shea Collinsworth BYU 02:02.4 2 Javianne Oliver Kentucky 7.16 4 Jazmine Fray Texas A&M 02:03.0 3 Ariana Washington Oregon 7.2 5 Ruby Stauber LSU 02:03.0 4 Ashley Henderson San Diego St. 7.22 (7.216) 6 Jasmine Staebler Iowa St. 02:04.1 5 Deajah Stevens Oregon 7.22 (7.218) 7 Olivia Baker Stanford 02:04.5 6 Kortnei Johnson LSU 7.22 (7.220) 8 Abike Egbeniyi Middle Tenn. 02:06.9 7 Quanesha Burks Alabama 7.27 Mile Run 8 Mikiah Brisco LSU 7.29 Name School Time 200-Meter Dash 1 Karisa Nelson Samford 04:31.2 2 Elinor Purrier New Hampshire 04:31.9 Name School Time 3 Danae Rivers Penn St. 04:33.9 1 Ariana Washington Oregon 22.42 4 Kaela Edwards Oklahoma St. 04:34.3 2 Hannah Cunliffe Oregon 22.53 5 Therese Haiss Arkansas 04:34.5 3 Deanna Hill Southern California 22.54 6 Nikki Hiltz Arkansas 04:34.6 4 Ashley Henderson San Diego St. 22.83 7 Millie Paladino Providence 04:34.6 5 Brittany Brown Iowa 22.92 8 Siofra Cleirigh Buttner Villanova 04:34.8 6 Jada Martin LSU 22.96 9 Amy-Eloise Neale Washington 04:35.1 7 Diamond Spaulding Texas A&M 23.09 10 Grace Barnett Clemson 04:38.3 8 Gabrielle Thomas Harvard 23.35 3,000-Meter Run 400-Meter Dash Name School Time Name School Time 1 Dani Jones Colorado 09:09.2 1 Shakima Wimbley Miami (FL) 51.07 (51.061) 2 Karissa Schweizer Missouri 09:09.3 2 Kendall Ellis Southern California 51.07 (51.068) 3 Katie Rainsberger Oregon 09:09.9 3 Sage Watson Arizona 51.84 4 Samantha Nadel Oregon 09:10.9 4 Daina Harper Arkansas 51.93 5 Vanessa Fraser Stanford 09:10.9 5 Alex Gholston Alabama 52.23 6 Katherine Receveur Indiana 09:12.6 6 Chrisann Gordon Texas 52.81 7 Allie Buchalski Furman 09:13.4 7 Zola Golden Texas 52.9 8 Erin Clark Colorado 09:13.6 8 Brittny Ellis Miami (FL) 53.13 9 Alli Cash Oregon 09:15.0 10 Tessa Barrett Penn St. 09:16.5 11 Elise Cranny Stanford 09:17.9 12 Katie Jensen Rice 09:20.5 13 Gina Sereno Michigan 09:21.7 14 Taylor Werner Arkansas 09:27.7 2017 Championship 3 Name School Time School Names Time 15 Rachel Koon North Carolina St. 09:33.2 12 LSU Kymber Payne , Jada Martin, Rachel 3:32.34 16 Claire Green Arizona 09:47.6 Misher, Travia Jones (3:32.339) 5,000-Meter Run Distance Medley Relay Name School Time School Names Time 1 Karissa Schweizer Missouri 15:19.1 1 Colorado Tabor Scholl, Elissa Mann, Sage Hurta, Dani 11:00.3 2 Erin Finn Michigan 15:27.4 Jones 3 Anna Rohrer Notre Dame 15:29.8 2 Stanford Vanessa Fraser, Missy Mongiovi, Malika 11:00.4 4 Allie Buchalski Furman 15:41.7 Waschmann, Elise Cranny 5 Tessa Barrett Penn St.
