It’s kept hidden under “more sports” if you are frantically googling in an attempt to find it.

The Home Stretch: Can’t Catch These Ducks
Believe it or not, the Ducks women’s indoor track team is going on its sixth consecutive week as the No. 1 team in the entire country. Believe it, it’s true.

Ducks on Deck: The Real Diamond in Eugene
