Rogers Named Women's National Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year

Former Falcon, Raevyn Rogers '14, earned the prestigious honor of being named the Women's National Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). This incredible recognition comes just days after Rogers was instrumental in the Oregon Ducks National Championship title and earning the first-ever Triple Crown in women's NCAA DI history. The Ducks Women's program won national titles in cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field this year.

At the NCAA Championship, which took place in Eugene, OR, Rogers won her third straight 800m Outdoor Championship with a time of 2:00.02 and anchored the 4x400m Relay that clinched the title for her team. Raevyn's split in the 4 x 400m relay was a blistering 49.7. At the Mt. Sac Relays earlier in the outdoor season, Raevyn broke the 27-year-old NCAA record in the 800m, racing a 1:59.10.

Raeyvn's tremendous athleticism and inspiring determination were evident even during her days as a Falcon. Even as a high school runner, Raevyn set high goals for herself and her teammates. Raevyn's incredible work ethic, joy in training and racing, leadership, huge heart, and her strong faith and supportive family continue to allow her to compete and reach her goals. It has been exciting watching Raevyn thrive in the NCAA – clearly, she found a good home at the University of Oregon.

While at Kinkaid Rogers was a 4 year Varsity letter winner in track, winning the 800m at the Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) Championship 4 years in a row. She also brought home the champion title in the 400m (3 times), 4x800m Relay (3 times), and 4x400m Relay (1 time). Raevyn still holds the 4 school records in each of these events as well at the record for the 1600m.

Not only did Rogers contribute on the track, she was also an accomplished volleyball and basketball player during her time as a Falcon. She lettered on the Varsity Girls Basketball team for 3 years helping the team earn 2 SPC titles and was named to the All-SPC First Team her junior year. She was also named to the Volleyball All-SPC First Team her senior year after 3 years of lettering.
