Jordan Hasay took a victory lap and got a second standing ovation from the crowd at Hayward Field after her first appearance in a Ducks uniform at Hayward Field Saturday.

The novelty of seeing an Oregon women’s team demonstrate power in the sprints during several showdowns with Texas A&M was impressive.

But the Eugene fans have a fondness for distance running, and in Hasay they saw the arrival of the school’s next big star.
