Great job by Vin, Dan Steele, the rest of the coaches and most importantly the young men that made it happen through their hard work.

Go Ducks!

Does anyone know how often a team pulls off the triple crown?

Does anyone know how often a team pulls off the triple crown?

I don't think that anyone has done it since the early or mid 90's. I think that it may have been Arkansas since they have won so many titles in the 3 events.

Update: I looked up Arkansas' titles and they seemed to have done it quite a bit back in the 90's. From the list, it looks like they did it 5 times: in 1992, 1993, 1995, 1998, and 1999. Arkansas has quite a program, one that may even be better than Oregon's. On the men's side, they've won 10 outdoor T&F, 19 indoor T&F, and 11 XC NCAA titles. Oregon has only won 12 titles in running events (6 XC, 4 outdoor T&F, and now 1 indoor T&F.)
