For those attending the NCAA track and field championships, which begin Wednesday and run through Saturday, the meet should appear familiar, yet wholly different.

Hayward Field, on the University of Oregon campus, is hosting the championships for the 13th time since 1962 and third consecutive year. Something else that should ring a bell: The host Oregon Ducks are in the 2015 women's title hunt, just as they been for the last half-decade as they've attempted to turn their NCAA indoor titles into outdoor victory. But so far, the No. 1 spot has eluded UO's women outdoor while the team has been agonizingly close; the Ducks finished second four straight years, from 2009-12. And the final form chart compiled by Jack Pfeifer for Track and & Field News lists the UO women as runner-ups this week by one point to USC.

Is this the year Oregon wins its first women's outdoor title since 1985?

Here are five Duck women who could make or break UO's campaign to win its first women's outdoor title since 1985.

30 years after the last UO title, is this the team that can pull off the title?

Oregon track and field coach Robert Johnson won an outdoor men's title in 2014 with UO, but has yet to earn outdoor glory with the women.

The junior sprinter is expected to be Oregon's high-point scorer with projected finishes of second in the long jump and third in the 100 and 200 meters. It's a daunting workload but to Prandini it must seem like just another weekend at the track. At the 2014 NCAA outdoor championships Prandini, an eight-time All-American, won the long jump, was second in the 200 and third in the 100. Her 24 points were the most scored by one woman since 2001.

It is no overstatement to say that Oregon's title effort is completely built around Prandini as the cornerstone. If she can get close to that many points again, and add in clean relay legs that could earn UO even more points — Oregon's short relay is picked by Track and Field News to finish sixth — the Ducks have a talent that few will be able to match.

If Prandini is Oregon's first option then the weight Todd will carry on her shoulders isn't much lighter.

Todd must live up to her billing as a potential national champion in the 100 meters and placer in the long jump. She's picked to finish second in the sprint and sixth in the jump and should contribute a leg on the short relay, too.

Tood is a sophomore who previously this spring was honored by Pac-12 coaches as the conference's women's track and field athlete of the year.

Every point matters, and one such point could come from Mann.

Mann is projected to finish eighth — and take the single point that comes with it — but few on the UO roster are more accustomed to beating form charts than the sophomore from Michigan. At the 2014 outdoor track and field championships Mann finished seventh in the shot put after setting the school record. In March, she did herself one better by vaulting from outside of the top eight into third at the NCAA's indoor track and field championships. If Mann can finish higher than expected for a third time at an NCAA championship, it would offset any potential setbacks for the Ducks.

Though Oregon fans are used to the drama surrounding the women's repeated, and failed, charges toward an elusive outdoor title this is the first such opportunity for Rogers, a freshman from Houston.

Rogers won the Pac-12 title in mid-May in a four-second personal best of 2 minutes, 1.67 second, the fourth-fastest time in UO history and third-fastest of the NCAA season at the time. She is picked to finish fourth in the 800 behind Clemson's Natoya Goule, Virginia Tech's Hanna Green and Oklahoma State's Savannah Camacho. She is one of only two freshmen projected to score, along with Mississippi's Brooke Feldmeier.

Raevyn Rogers

Raevyn Rogers won the USATF junior outdoor national championship in the 800 in 2014, so she knows how to run well in big meets.

Crockett can cap her career by doing something that has eluded her the whole time she's been in Eugene: scoring at an NCAA outdoor championship.

After finishing 18th in the high jump as a sophomore and 14th as a junior, where her top height was 5 feet, 9.75 inches, Crockett is projected to finish eighth in a field loaded with upperclassmen. Her personal best of 6 feet, 1/2 inch, which ties her for third-best all-time at Oregon, is an inch higher than her season best, which ranks 25th nationally.
