NCAA Indoor Championships: Tough, determined, Jordan Hasay leads Oregon to the NCAA women's title | OregonLive.com:

"COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- No. 1 Oregon landed the knockout punch when Jordan Hasay led a 1-3-4 finish in the mile, and the Ducks won the women's NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship going away Saturday in Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium.

Hasay broke a 29-year-old school record by finishing in 4 minutes 33.01 seconds, then came back to outkick Villanova's Sheila Reid and win the 3,000 meters in 9:13.71.

It was a dominating performance before a crowd of 4,487, by both individual and team."

I saw her run in Eugene as a high school student -- and the crowd maintained a deafening chant, "Come to Oregon! Come to Oregon!" It worked.
