(13-Mar) On the final day of the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Randal Tyson Track Center at the University of Arkansas, Oregon sophomore Cole Hocker was the dominant distance athlete winning the mile in a championships record 3:53.71 then the 3000m in 7:46.15 about an hour later, both with sizzling final laps. The 20 points he scored for the Ducks helped them win the team title with 79 points, the second-highest score in meet history and highest total since 1994.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Irish could not have asked for a much better start to the opening day of the 2021 NCAA Indoor National Championships on Thursday, picking up two First Team All-American honors on the women’s side with impressive performances from Rachel Tanczos and Jadin O’Brien.
The Irish sit atop the standings in first place after the first day of competition, recording 13 points on the day.
Tanczos earned national runner-up status in the weight throw and nearly took home the gold in the event. The senior posted a season-best mark of 23.24m (76-3) to match the best mark recorded in the NCAA this season heading into the final round. However, Louisville’s Makenli Forrest barely edged Tanzos on her final throw, recording a distance of 23.26m to win the event.
