2012 Men of Oregon 2011 MEN OF OREGON Men’s Outlook With only three seniors on the roster, Oregon will be a young, but talented team in 2012. The Ducks graduated four-time All-American Luke Puskedra and fellow senior Chris Kwiatkowski from last season’s squad, but return seven runners from the 2011 Pac-12 Championships, and four who appeared at the NCAA West Regional. The team will be led by Parker Stinson, a junior from Austin, Texas, who was seventh at the Pac-12 meet a year ago and 17th at the Regional. He’ll be joined by Jeramy Elkaim, a sophomore from Livingston, N.J., who impressed as a freshman with a 20thplace finish at the league championships and a 38th-place showing at the Regional. Ryan Pickering also continued the youth movement; the sophomore from West Palm Beach, Fla., was 39th at the 2011 Pac-12 Championships and also qualified for the IAAF World Junior Championships in the 10,000 meters. The experience on the Oregon squad is impressive. Junior Ben DeJarnette, from Mechanicsville, Va., has appeared in every championship race for the Ducks over the last two seasons, while Oregon’s underclassmen look to become the leaders of the future. The 2011 season proved to be a great testing ground for sophomores Boru Guyota (Portland, Ore.), Matt Jablonski (Cockeysville, Md.) and Cole Watson (Rogue River, Ore.) who all ran at the Pac-12 Championships. The Ducks also featured juniors Tim Costin (Springfield, Ore.), Mitch Hunt (Fremont, Neb.) and Hank Morrison (Carmel, Calif.) and sophomores Colby Alexander (Strongsville, Ohio) and Daniel Winn (Portland, Ore.) during the 2011 season. Oregon had a number of freshmen redshirt the 2012 season, including Chris Brewer (Vista, Calif.), Russell Hornsby (Williamsburg, Va.), Matthew Melancon (Eugene, Ore.) and Chad Noelle (Greene, N.Y.). The six newcomers for 2012 will make for some intriguing additions to the roster, especially Trevor Dunbar, who should have an immediate impact. The senior from Kodiak, Alaska, was a two-time cross country All-American for the University of Portland before transferring to Oregon in January. Dunbar was 35th at the NCAA Championships in 2011 as a junior to help the Pilots take eighth in the team competition (30:05, 10,000 meters). He finished 25th as a sophomore at the NCAA meet in 2010 (30:21). The Ducks have also brought in Freddy Ovett (Melbourne, Australia) and Richard Goodman (London, England) from overseas, as well as transfers Patrick Todd (Virginia) and Matt Miner (Dartmouth) and freshman Joe Holvey from Eugene. In recent seasons, the men have experienced success on a national level rarely seen in TrackTown USA. Oregon won back-to-back NCAA titles in 2007 and 2008, and followed that with a runner-up finish in 2009. Those results harken back to the era of the legendary Steve Prefontaine, when the Ducks won national titles in 1971, 1973 and 1974, were second in 1970 and third in 1972.
