University of Oregon Hall of Famer Jordan Kent will be leading Saturday's broadcast along with former Canadian Olympian Kate Van Buskirk and 2000 Olympic champion Dan O'Brien. Brad Wells will return as the on-field reporter. Those two hours will feature some of the weekend's marquee events, including the WACT invitational hurdle events headlined by 2024 Olympic champion Masai Russell, the WACT women's long jump featuring defending Olympic gold medalist Tara Davis-Woodhall, WACT men's 400m dash with 2024 Paralympic gold medalist Hunter Woodhall, and a handful of pivotal relays in the university and prep divisions.
