Coming from a family reputed for U.S. and world championships in throwing events, Sam Crouser carved out his own legacy in track and field lore by winning two NCAA men’s javelin titles and four consecutive Pac-12 javelin crowns. After the four-time All-American redshirted his first season in Eugene, he began his run of Pac-12 titles by winning in 2012 with a throw of 250-11. Later that season at the 2012 Olympic Trials, he won silver with a collegiate-best throw of 265-1, which still ranks second all-time at Oregon. Crouser would go on to win Pac-12 javelin crowns in 2013 (249-4), 2014 (243-7) and 2015 (252-10) as the Ducks captured four consecutive conference titles during his career. On the national level, after finishing 14th at the 2012 NCAA meet, Crouser earned the bronze medal at the 2013 national championships with a throw of 239-9. His two NCAA javelin titles coincided with Oregon’s first two NCAA men’s track and field championships in 30 years. He won the 2014 meet with a throw of 252-7 and then improved that in his final collegiate meet, achieving a distance of 259-10 at the 2015 NCAA Championships, which earned him his second consecutive national title. Sam joins his father, Dean (Class of 2003), and uncle, Brian (Class of 2001), in the Oregon Athletic Hall of Fame. Sam and Dean are the first father-son combination to be enshrined.
