Oregon needs a stronger springting corps if they ever hope to compete against the likes of Texas A&M, FSU, LSU, and Florida. Having strong sprinters has become the key to titles since there are just so many more sprinting events than distance (100, 200, 400, 4x100, 4x400, 110 hurdles, 400 hurdles vs. 800, 1600, 5000, 10000)woundedknees wrote:Wish the Duck men could snare a couple of this level sprinter every couple years... That may well be the missing piece in coming up short of the Men's NCAA Title.

The men literally won the championship this year. They're already competing.
