EUGENE -- After winning NCAA titles in cross country and indoor track University of Oregon women are getting most of the attention.
But don't go to sleep on the UO men in the coming outdoor season.
UO senior Edward Cheserek is a 17-time NCAA champion and the early favorite in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters. A winning double would give the Ducks a 20-point start toward a men's outdoor championship.
The Ducks have other potential NCAA scorers scattered around the roster. Two of note are sprinter Kyree King and sprinter/jumper Damarucs Simpson.
King is a senior transfer from Western Kentucky who tied Samie Parker's 14-year-old, indoor school record in the 60 with a time of 6.
