Raevyn Rogers (born July 9, 1996) is a student-athlete on the University of Oregon Ducks women's track and field team in Eugene, Oregon. The 5' 9" middle-distance runner from Houston, Texas, was awarded All-American status as a freshman for winning the 800-meter race at the 2015 NCAA Division I championship in Eugene, OR. She ran a time of 1:59.71, setting a personal best.[1]
Highschool
Rogers attended The Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas, where she competed for the Falcons. She still holds individual school records in the 200m, 400m, 800m and 1600m.[2] She graduated in 2014.
2015 Spring Season
Rogers enjoyed a breakthrough season her first spring with the Ducks. At the 2015 Penn Relays, Rogers ran the 400m leg of the Sprint Medley, which won the race in a time of 3:44.59, narrowly defeating Clemson University.[3] Her win at the NCAA championships contributed 10 points to a total of 59 team points, which won the meet for Oregon for the first time since 1985.[4] She also won the 800 at the Outdoor U.S. Junior Championships and the Pan-American Games.
2016 Winter Season
Rogers opened the 2016 indoor season in NCAA record-setting time in the 600-meter run at the Washington Preview meet at the University of Washington's Dempsey Indoor Center. The time, however, will not count as an official record because the track at the Dempsey Indoor Center is larger than indoor regulation size.[5] She is the expected winner at the Indoor Championships in March, 2016.[6]

Rogers won the 800-meter title at the 2015 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, OR.
