It will be the first test of strength for Bowerraan's Duck cinderrnen. Idaho will present a team that is basically the same as the Web foot's with a strong track squad and a weak field team so the meet should be very evenly matched.

The Ducks can match Idaho's strong events and counter with more depth.
