Eugene, Oregon: We were awake at an unnaturally early hour to get over to Historic Hayward Field for the last day of competition. Since the event was to be broadcast live on CBS, we knew the races would start on time and action would be non-stop.

But the race of the day was the men's 1500m. Once again, Andrew Wheating lit Historic Hayward Field on fire.

Almost unbelievably, the Duck finished 1-2-3!
The stadium erupted.

Andrew Wheating (center) became only the fourth collegian in history to win the 800m and 1500m double in the national championships.


Not to mention highlight coverage on ESPN all afternoon.

I love My Ducks!
The Duck men scored another point when senior Jordan McNamara finished 8th in the 5000m final. After all the points were tallied, the Duck men finished third with 45 points, behind 2010 NCAA Champions Texas A&M with 55 points and Florida with 54. It was a fabulous competition.

The Duck women - 2010 Indoor Champions - finished a fabulous second in the outdoor event this year.

Duck women finished second over-all with 52 points. Florida was third with 33 points and Texas A&M are the National Champions with a most impressive 72 points!
After the Championships were over, DT and I had a wonderful little field trip that I will write about tomorrow. In the meantime... I have lost my voice (from screaming and cheering) and we are in serious need of naps. Until my next update, I remain, your silent correspondent.
