Eaton, field event crew lead the way as Oregon outduels UCLA

by JIM MCDANNALD

No Wheating. No Centrowitz. No Maag. No Hostetler. No Problem.

On a day that saw many of Oregon’s top performers sitting on the sidelines, the Ducks easily handled the Bruins in front of the Hayward faithful.  The meet lacked the drama of last year’s barnburner that came down to the 4×400 meter relay, but fans were treated to some quality performances.  The Ducks had command throughout the 2 hour meet, winning with a score of 92-71.  While nationally recognized as mid-distance/distance powerhouse, it was the strength of their sprinting and field events that powered Oregon to victory.
