Home » News » 2012 London Olympics: Track and Field Schedule for 8/7-8/11

Here is the rest of the schedule that could feature former Oregon Ducks athletes in track and field events. Ashton Eaton highlights the field with the men’s decathlon, featuring 10 different events in the span of two days. He comes in as the favorite in many eyes after breaking the record in the trials back in June.
