Oregon lands one of nation's top high school distance runners ahead of schedule
One of the nation's top high school distance runners is moving on to the collegiate level ahead of schedule. Ellery Lincoln, a senior at Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon , will graduate early and enroll at the University of Oregon in January, forgoing her final high school track and field season to compete for the Ducks during the 2026-27 indoor campaign. The news was first reported by DyeStat, and later reported by the Eugene Register-Guard, part of the USA TODAY Network . "I just wanna say that there's a lot of thought put into this decision and the people around me wouldn't let me make a self-destructive choice," Lincoln told DyeStat. "And I've got a lot of people in my corner helping support me through this transition and I feel very confident about where I'm going." The decision comes after Lincoln capped her high school cross-country career with a second consecutive OSAA Class 6A state championship last weekend. She won in a course-record 16 minutes, 57.6 seconds at Lane Community College. Lincoln has established herself as one of the most accomplished distance runners in Oregon high school history. She owns state records in the 1,500 meters (4:07.06), mile (4:27.65)
