NCAA Division I team national championships
In 1939, Oregon Men's Basketball—dubbed the "Tall Firs" by the Oregonian—beat Ohio State to win the first-ever NCAA Men's Championship. The Ducks have defied expectations ever since.
Ducks Go All In
Resolute. Resilient. Full of heart. UO was built by scrappy strivers who show us how to push past our limits.
By the Numbers
- 17 National titles held by Edward Cheserek (cross country and track)—an NCAA record
- 37 Olympic and Paralympic Games medals won by Ducks as of 2026
Most-Decorated Ducks
Ashton Eaton. Sabrina Ionescu. Marcus Mariota. They and their fellow Hall of Famers are the greatest athletes in UO's history.
Coaches Who Raised the Bar
From Bill Hayward, who mentored nine track and field Olympians, to Chip Kelly, whose "blur offense" transformed college football, these coaches helped make the Ducks an international brand.
