Day Three Quotes
EUGENE, Ore. – On the final day of the men’s outdoor track & field season, the Big Ten rounded out a strong season with three top ten team finishers and an individual champion. Oregon finished in fifth place with a score of 50 points, followed by Nebraska (9th, 28 points) and USC (10th, 27 points). It marks the first time since 1954 that three men’s teams placed in the top ten at NCAAs when Illinois, Michigan and Purdue achieved that feat.
With the cheers of Oregon teammates and supporters behind him, Simeon Birnbaum claimed the 1500m title with ease. Birnbaum beat out Big Ten rival Trent McFarland from Michigan by over a second. Wisconsin’s Matan Ivri and fellow Duck Elliott Cook also had podium worthy performances, finishing in fifth and sixth place respectively.
In para athletics, Illinois’ Evan Correll cruised to his fourth championship in a row in the men’s wheelchair 100m. He slighted his previous best and meet-record of 14.33 seconds by a hundredth of a second. His teammate Jason Robinson came in second with a time of 15.36.
Overall, 24 Big Ten men’s athletes and three relay teams placed on the podium, while 85 earned All-American honors. For a full list of men’s All Americans, click
