We will be flying out June 12th to Eugene Oregon and returning June 16th to compete at Nike Outdoor Nationals. This is an opportunity for athletes who have earned a chance to race as a TEAM, at sea level, on a very fun, fast, and historic at The University of Oregon’s Hayward Field.
Trip EligibilityUnlike NXR, there are qualifying standards for this event. What this means is that in order to compete in this meet you have to run/throw/jump a set mark to be eligible. Below is a link of the qualifying standards from 2023. If we went last year we would have several relays and a few individuals qualify!
