EUGENE, Ore. – Senior Brad Miller competed in the men's 5,000-meter run as the Syracuse University track & field team concluded its outdoor season Saturday, June 12 at the NCAA Track & Field Outdoor Championship at the University of Oregon's Hayward Field. In his first trip to Nationals, Miller took 22nd in the event with a time of 14:24.78.

Joining Miller at the outdoor championship were junior Catherine DeSarle and senior Uhunoma Osazuwa. DeSarle finished the 10,000-meter run in 33:58.13 for 20th-place and Osazuwa finished 14th with a 5,304 points in the pentathlon. She had her best performance in the high jump (1.69m) and the shot put (11.92m), where she tied for seventh. She took 18th in the final event, the 800-meter run, with a time of 2:26.38.

Osazuwa, a two-time defending BIG EAST champion, was one of four Orange student-athletes who won the conference crown in their respective event, including graduate student Michael LeBlanc (100-meter dash), junior Jarret Eaton (110-meter hurdles) and sophomore Tito Medrano (10,000-meter run). The 400-meter relay team consisting of LeBlanc, Eaton, graduate student Antoine Clark and freshman Darryl White also won the event. Consequently, the Orange placed seventh in the BIG EAST Outdoor Championship, which was their best mark since 2007 when they finished fourth. The women finished in eighth-place, a four-spot improvement from last year.
