Roesler ran 2:01.32 in the 800-meter run on Saturday, besting the 2:02.50 split she ran as a part of Oregon’s distance medley relay win on Friday. Oregon’s DMR finished in an NCAA season-best time of 10:56.77, which is also the fourth-fastest time in school history. She capped off the two-day event by running a leg of Oregon’s runner-up 4 x 400 meter relay team.

Earning an honorable mention in the USATF award is Oregon redshirt freshman Jasmine Todd, who jumped a collegiate-best mark of 21-0 (6.40 m) in addition to a third-place finish in the 60-meter dash.
