Harrison Wins Ducks’ Third U20 Title
07/09/23 | Track and Field
Former UO standout Raevyn Rogers will represent Team USA at the World Championships.
EUGENE, Ore. – Freshman Rheinhardt Harrison recorded this first win at Hayward Field Sunday with his performance in the USATF men's U20 1500 meters. In the senior-level competition, Raevyn Rogers was runner-up in the 800 meters and will represent Team USA at the World Championships in Budapest.
Sitting in second at the bell, Harrison powered away from the field with just under 300 meters to go and stopped the clock in 3:48.30 to secure the victory. The win marked the third U20 title of the meet for UO freshmen, joining Aaliyah McCormick (100H) and Benjamin Balazs (steeplechase).
Oregon signee Tayson Echohawk finished second behind his future teammate. He used a late charge in the final homestretch to cross the line in 3:50.28, moving from fourth to second in the process.
Rogers will be making her third-career appearance at the World Championships. She took the lead with 200 meters to go and held on for second place in a season-best 1:59.83 behind U.S. champ Nia Akins. In 2019—the first of her three WC appearance—Rogers came home with a silver medal.
Aiden Carter, another soon-to-be Oregon freshman, navigated the two-day, 10-event U20 decathlon to win the junior title. He entered Sunday in fourth place overall but climbed to the top of the leaderboard with top-three point totals in four of five events on day two. Carter claimed gold with 6,915 points.
In other finals involving #ProDucks, Cooper Teare finished fifth in the 5,000 meters, Jenna Prandini and Jasmine Todd were sixth in the 200 and long jump, respectively, and Kyree King was seventh in the 200 meters.
Up Next: The 2023 World Championships will be held Aug. 19-27 in Budapest, Hungary. The pro season in the Diamond League resumes with stops in Silesia (July 16), Monaco (July 21) and London (July 23) to close out the month. This year's Prefontaine Classic (Sept. 16-17) will serve as the 2023 Diamond League final.
