<span style="font-weight: 700;">WACO, Texas – </span>The top‑ranked Baylor Bears host the No. 2 Oregon Ducks this Saturday at 5 p.m. CT at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas.<br>
<br>
The Bears prepare for their second home meet on Saturday against the Ducks. We will be celebrating the team's "Decade of Dominance" with a Trophy photo opportunity on the concourse, A&T Alumni Recognition, Post-meet autographs, and giveaways featuring National
Championship T-shirts.<br>
<br>
The Bears enter the weekend holding the No. 1 spot in the NCATA preseason poll for the 11th straight year and they look to carry that focus forward as they continue to defend their title. The Bears hold a 28-13 lead in all-time series with Oregon and carry
a 13‑meet winning streak over the Ducks.</div>
