Wolf Pack seniors Nicole Wadden and Emily Myers will end their college careers this weekend and hope to do so in All-American status.

The track and field stars will both compete in the NCAA Track & Field Championships, which begin Wednesday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Neither have competed on the historic track – it has hosted six Olympic qualifiers, seven U.S. championships and 15 NCAA Championships – although Myers has dreamed about competing there for years.

“We went up to Eugene for a cross country meet my freshman year and we stood outside and stared at the track," Myers said.
