The Ducks last raced Sept. 23 at the Dellinger Invitational in Springfield with each coming away with a team title. Individually, senior Aaron Bienenfeld ran to victory in an 8K time of 23:41.7 and sophomore Harper McClain (20:07.2) was the Ducks’ top performer in the women’s race.
Bienenfeld, a returning All-American from a season ago, finished fourth at last year’s Nuttycombe.
Along with the loaded field that features eight top-10 teams on each side, the Ducks will also face off with Pac-12 foes Colorado, Oregon State (women), Stanford, Utah (women) and Washington.
