Duke has 17 athletes competing in the T&F finals to be held June 8-11 in Eugene, Oregon. These are finals, only -- no prelims. I expect that in the shorter running events there will be only eight finalists -- four each from the East and West regionals held this weekend.
Here is the GoDuke.com story.
Below is the list of Duke finalists, four men and 13 women. Notably, the women qualified in both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Go Duke!

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013

Watch for strong performances in the heptathlon, where Erin Marsh and Isabel Wakefield are seeded third and sixth, respectively, and the women's 400 hurdles, where Lauren Hoffman is seeded fourth.
Highly regarded hurdler Emily Sloan coming to Duke from U of Oregon.

Lauren Hoffman finished fourth in the 400 hurdles semi-finals and will compete in the final tomorrow. Erin Marsh has had a great day in the heptathlon today, finishing second overall after four events, with personal bests in the 100 hurdles and 200 meters. But the other Duke heptathlete, Isabel Wakefield, who was seeded sixth going in, did not compete--I have no idea why.
Looks like Lauren came in 3rd in the 400 hurdles. Great job
