2014 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships Day 2 recap: Oregon Ducks continue to lead team standings

The Duck flock continues to fly atop the team standings at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The Oregon men stand at No. 1 with 26 points, ahead of Georgia's 24, while the women have 19 points, nine points ahead of Florida. A number of other Pac-12 teams are enjoying success too. Here's a full breakdown of the day 2 action in Eugene:

Arthur Delaney got payback Thursday after failing to qualify in the men’s 100m on Wednesday. The Duck ran 20.71 for second place in the men’s 200m to come up behind Baylor’s Everett Walker, and the Eugene crowd loved it.

After winning her first NCAA title Wednesday, Jenna Prandini kept the ball rolling with another win in heat one of the women’s 200m (22.95), which will automatically advance her to the final.

After one heat of the men’s 1500m, the Ducks have two runners in the final with defending NCAA champ Mac Fleet and freshman Sam Prakel finishing one-two together across the line. In a homestretch battle, senior Sarah Penney claimed the final automatic spot in heat two of the women’s 1500m to advance to the final.

Greg Skipper added more points to the Duck total with a fourth-place finish in the men’s hammer throw. The redshirt sophomore also finished fourth at last year’s NCAA outdoor championships.

Devon Allen continues to show his versatility as the Duck wide receiver qualified for the final of the men’s 110m hurdles with a second-place finish in heat one and an automatic qualifier. His teammate Jonathan Cabral wasn’t so lucky however. The All-American fell to the ground with an injury after sprinting out of the blocks.

Laura Bobek claimed a third place finish in the women’s discus in an epic final throw that launched her into the top three. The performance will contribute significantly to the team score.

Frenchman Tanguy Pepiot comfortably secured his position in the final of the men’s 3,000m steeplechase after finishing fifth in heat two.

Coming from third place, anchor leg Mike Berry helped get the job done for the men’s 4x400m relay. In an epic last 200m, Berry overtook Arizona State’s anchor leg to secure his team’s spot in the final in a time of 3:03.80. The women’s team may have started in a tight spot on the lead-off leg, but they made up for it with a killer third and fourth leg to come back from behind to finish second behind Texas A&M and qualify automatically.

Dakotah Keys capped off a great day for the men of Oregon with a third-place finish in the decathlon with 8,068 points. The three-time All-American finished behind meet-winner Maicel Uibo of Georgia and Johannes Hock of Texas. His freshman teammate Mitch Modin finished 13th overall to cap off his first year as a Duck.

Lawi Lalang did what he does best: win. The senior Wildcat took heat two of the men’s 1500m out hard and held it, finishing in a winning time of 4:41.03 to automatically advance. Clearly the Oregon-heavy crowd does not phase him.

He took down LSU’s Aaron Ernest by a nose in a time of 20.45. Tynia Gaither turned on the jets in the final heat of the women’s 200m to finish third and sneak into the final based on her time of 23.17.
