SEATTLE, Wash. – In his 2016 debut, Edward Cheserekbroke from the pack with 1,000 meters remaining to lead No. 3 Oregon to the Washington Invitational men's team title Saturday at Jefferson Park Golf Course.

The Ducks had four runners in the top six to win with 26 points. No. 29 Colorado State was second with 39 points, while No. 21 Washington was third (64) and No. 24 Washington State was fourth (127).

In the women's race, No. 12 Washington won with 24 points. The fourth-ranked Ducks were second with 57 points, Harvard was third (78) and Colorado State took fourth (115).

How It Happened - Men: While Cheserek led the way, it took a solid effort by a number of the Ducks in the lead pack to earn the win on Saturday. Sam Prakel, coming off his win at the Dellinger Invitational two weeks ago, finished third in 23:27.30, Matthew Maton was fourth in 23:28.10 in his 2016 debut and Tanner Anderson was sixth in 23:31.10. Oregon also had solid depth backing the top four runners with Blake Haney 12th in 23:46.30, Bryan Fernandez 13th in 23:48.30 and Tim Gorman 17th in 24:00.50.
