EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon track and field once again brought in some of the nation's top recruits for the 2016 season, landing the No. 1 men's recruiting class and No. 4 women's class as ranked by Track and Field News Magazine.

The nation's top ranking for the men is the fourth in program history and third in the last six years, joining top classes in 2010 and 2013. The class consists of Track and Field News High School All-Americans Matthew Maton , Tanner Anderson , and Ben Milligan , along with 2012 and 2013 H.S. All-American Travonn White . The 2014 Men of Oregon recruiting class ranked third and makes Oregon the only school to receive a top-three ranking in each of the last three years.

The No. 4 recruiting ranking for the women's team comes after two consecutive No. 1 rankings in 2013 and 2014. Along with some of the top high school seniors in the United States, the 2015 class is filled with experienced transfers and international stars. The Ducks will welcome the top senior discus thrower in the country from 2015 in Ronna Stone , along with NCAA All-American transfers Hannah Cunliffe and Brooke Feldmeier .

The collective strength is one of the unique qualities for the Oregon program, as both teams will enter the 2016 outdoor season as defending champions. Oregon is one of only two teams to have both the men's and women's recruiting classes ranked by Track and Field News in each of the past three years.

“We have been excited to bring this group together and have been really impressed with the experience of these newcomers,” said head coach Robert Johnson . “They have had a great fall of training, and we are ready to get started on the indoor season.”

Oregon will begin the 2016 season, Jan. 16 at the Washington Preview.
