Hayward Field closes the world U20 championships today
The final session starts at 12:05 p.m., with 15 world titles still to be decided in Eugene.
Five days of junior track and field end at Hayward Field this afternoon. The final session of the World Athletics U20 Championships starts at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, and 15 champions will be crowned before the meet leaves Eugene.
That makes today less of a leftover session than a compressed finale. The schedule includes finals across the track and field program, with the last medals of the championships decided in one afternoon.
Tickets and the current event schedule are available from the official meet pages. If you are heading toward campus, allow time for the crowd around Hayward rather than treating this like an ordinary August Sunday.
