The Oregon cross country teams are in Louisville this weekend looking to make history new and old.
The UO men and women will race Saturday morning in the NCAA Championships. Indomitable junior Edward Cheserek will be running for an unprecedented third straight men’s individual title — not to mention a coveted podium finish for the Ducks as a team. The UO women, meanwhile, are looking for a repeat from the 2012 meet also run in Louisville, when they took home their last national title.
Cheserek, who this fall became the first Pac-12 runner to win three straight men’s conference titles, is looking to join the legendary Steve Prefontaine and two others as three-time NCAA individual champions.
