Oregon wins NCAA women’s track championship as Texas ties for ninth

Jenna Prandini won the 100 meters and finished second in an exceedingly fast 200 on Saturday, leading the Oregon women to their first NCAA outdoor track and field championship in 30 years in front of a home crowd in Eugene, Ore.

It is the first time the Ducks men and women have won the championship the same year. Oregon won the men’s team title on Saturday.

The Ducks finished with 59 points, 26 of them from Prandini. Kentucky was second with 50, and Texas A&M placed third with 47.

Texas’ Morolake Akinosun and Kendall Baisden notched runner-up finishes, helping the Longhorns tie for ninth place with Kansas State with 28 points.
