– Oregon softball’s Kailee Cuico was named the Pac-12 player of the week on Monday, after a record-setting weekend against No. 1 UCLA. Cuico broke the Oregon RBI record after a three-run home run during Saturday’s 12-4 win over the Bruins (she also hit a grand slam later in the game). The record isn’t the first that belongs to Cuico. She also holds the single-game record for most RBIs as well as the record for the most home runs, which she broke earlier this year. The Ducks’ series win over the Bruins perhaps proves they are national championship material.

– Gonzaga’s women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves reportedly came to Eugene on Sunday to meet with the Oregon women’s basketball team. The meeting was closed-door. Graves is a top-candidate for replacing Paul Westhead, but some wonder if the move is really a step up since Gonzaga’s success usually surpasses the Ducks.

– The Oregon club wushu team is the oldest and largest collegiate wushu team in the nation without a coach. Instead, the team uses student captains and collaborations in order to learn new forms and weapons. The team prefers their approach because it brings them closer together and allows them to network with other wushu schools in the nation.

– Runner Mac Fleet has just two months left in his Oregon running career to achieve his dream of climbing to the top of the Oregon record list. He is currently eighth in the 1,500m in school history with a personal record of 3:38.35. Number seven on the list is Steve Prefontaine. Fleet’s goal is to catch up to the American record of 3:29.30 and the collegiate record of 3:35.30.

– Spring football is underway and players are brushing off the dust from the off-season. Although Mark Helfrich said mistakes are in abundance, he believes, “The effort and the communication, our competitiveness, is really good.” Offensive coordinator Scott Frost is also optimistic about the practices, saying that many players have made improvements during their time off.
