The Mighty Oregon Podcast

Kids say the darndest things, right? Enter five-year-old Tayyiba Haneef-Park, who said she wanted to be an Olympic athlete after visiting Tracktown USA and watching the 1984 Olympics. But it wasn't just a dream for the two-time Olympic medalist in volleyball; it was planting the seeds of a drive and determination that would take her all around the world and back. 

Back to Eugene, as Haneef-Park was recently hired as the women's assistant volleyball coach for the Ducks.

In part two of former Duck wide receiver Keanon Lowe's story, unfortunate circumstances have led him back to his hometown of Portland. Forgoing a career in the NFL to make an impact in his local community would put Keanon in a spot he never thought possible...in a position he was meant to be in.

Keanon Lowe has spent his life with a compassion for others. He understood his father's battle with addiction even at a young age. In college, he always put the team first, often celebrating touchdowns by teammates more than they would. A personal tragedy would prompt a move back to his hometown to make an impact in his community rather than pursue a NFL coaching career. All that lead to one of the most incredible feats of human empathy when he helped stop a school shooting in 2019.

De'Anthony Thomas' time in Eugene flew by. Literally. The blazing fast "scat" back flashed his explosiveness from day one at Autzen Stadium and never looked back. The legacy defining moments remain; two rushes, 155 yards & 2 TDs in the Rose Bowl. The 94-yard kickoff return for a TD in the Fiesta Bowl. But the Duck is still looking to add to his resume as a pro, on and off the field.

Jenna Lilley has always had something to prove. She was overlooked by schools recruiting her in softball because of her small stature. Major injuries affected her on the diamond, including a pitch directly to the face, but she refused to let it keep her down and out. And now as she's moved on into the professional world, she's using the lessons softball has taught her in every day life.

Fred Jones is known by most for his posterizing dunks. The high flyer threw down some monstrous jams that would get Mac Court rocking in the early 2000's. But there is so much more to the man than his hops. A small town boy from Arkansas, Jones helped turn around UO's basketball program with a magical run to the Elite Eight in 2002. Dunking would put Jones in the national spotlight as he won the 2004 NBA dunk contest but it would be the following year that would truly change his career when he was on the floor for the infamous Malice in the Palace. Hear all that and more on the latest edition of the Mighty Oregon Podcast!
