Olympic Trials
A second place finish in the 100 meter hurdles cemented former Duck Alashya Johnson’s spot on the US Olympic team this summer. Johnson was just one of several former Ducks that made the team. She joins Shana Grebo who clinched a spot in the 400 meter hurdles and Cole Hocker in the 1500 while Duck Jaida Ross takes a spot in the Shot Put. Poland’s Klaudia Kazimierska, who also competes as an Oregon Duck qualified for the women’s 1500 meter.
