From Bandon Dunes Golf Course, Duck golfers Kiara and Kaleiya Romero tee off among 156 women at the U.S. Amateur Today, TV coverage on NBC. They are the only set of sisters in the field.
A UO sophomore in 2024, Kiara won the NCAA Gold Canyon Regional in May and the 2023 U.S. Junior Girls' Championship in 2023, tied for 45th at this year's U.S. Women's Open. Older sister Kaleiya is an Oregon assistant coach.
Kiara is the No. 1-ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

After a day off yesterday the team moves to their fifth day of practice Monday with just 26 days to go until Montana State. The energy is high and these are some honed bodies. The competition rep-by-rep is visibly high.

Two Ducks make the Feldman 'Freaks List'
Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire reports that defensive lineman A'Mauri Washington and tight end Kenyon Sadiq have made the "Feldman Freaks List," a compilation of college football players with exceptional athleticism.
Washington makes it for clocking a top speed of 20.89 mph and a vertical jump 36 inches at 6-3, 338. He squats 755 pounds, bench presses 475, and power cleans 385.
Sadiq, 6-3, 255, carved his body to 12 percent body fat. Feldman writes, "He vertical jumped 41.5 inches this summer, power cleaned 365 pounds, and bench pressed 435."
Coming in at number four on Bruce Fieldman’s annual freaks list was Oregon DT AMauri Washington.

Someone I shouted out last week as a player who really could see his draft stock rise with a bigger role in 2025 https://t.co/fvPXj5Rgxa
The amazing thing about the Freaks List is that a half dozen Ducks could have made it. The evidence comes in 26 days.
