SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Oregon track and field's Deajah Stevens and Ariana Washington each earned spots on Team USA in the 100 meters for the IAAF World Championships in London on Friday, highlighting the first two days of action for the Ducks at the U.S. Outdoor Championships in Sacramento.

Former Duck star Eric Jenkins also punched his ticket to London and earned a place on Team USA on Friday with a second-place finish in the 5,000 meter finals (13:15.74).

How it Happened: Stevens (11.08) and Washington (11.10), who posted the second and fourth fastest times, respectively, in the 100 semifinals earlier in the day, finished 2-3 in the finals to earn spots in London. Washington recovered from a slow start to surge over the final 20 meters and grab the third qualifying spot behind Stevens and U.S. champion Tori Bowie. Both Stevens and Washington will don the red, white and blue once again after representing Oregon in the Olympics last summer in Rio. Both Ducks will return on Saturday for the first round of the 200 meters.

"It's exciting." Stevens said in a post-race interview. "It's so fun. This is our second team together. We just believe in each other so much. It makes us so happy when we can come out here and execute."
