Oregon has won the most DI women’s track and field championships in the 21st century, adding to an already impressive history. With so much success, we created an all-time relay team of Oregon women’s track and field greats.
Three relays are currently held at NCAA Championships — the 4×100 meter relay, the 4×400 meter relay and the Distance Medley Relay. But which one fits Oregon for an all-time team the best?
Oregon has never won a 4×1 NCAA title, and only five of its 21 individual champions have won events that were 200 meters or less. That leaves the 4×4 or DMR as options. The Ducks have won six 4×4 titles compared to two DMR titles in program history, but Oregon has only had an athlete win an individual 400 meter title once in program history. Luckily, the DMR requires exactly one 400-meter leg, meaning the aforementioned titleist can still be considered. The DMR fits a team of Oregon greats the best.
That said, let’s get into the all-time team.
