Track Fourth At Pepsi Invite
April 12, 2003 | Track and Field
EUGENE, Ore. - The University of Colorado track & field teams took to the track at historic Hayward Field here Saturday afternoon at the University of Oregon Pepsi Team Invitational. Both the men's and women's teams took fourth place in the meet, which featured Oregon, Washington and Minnesota.
Sara Gorton provided the fireworks for the Buffalo women in the 1,500, running a time of 4:19.77 to best the field. Second was Brianna Torres in 4:28.96, with both women earning regional qualifying marks.
"Ever since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to run at Hayward," said Gorton. "This place has so much history and for me to finally get to compete here and to get a personal best is really great."
In the women's 3,000, the Buffs took 2nd-5th places as Natalie Florence (9:36.62), Jackie Ziegle (9:46.07) and Tera Moody (9:49.20) secured those three spots for CU. Christine Bolf was eighth in 9:57.91.
On the men's side, Dathan Ritzenhein ran his first race in 10 months and took fourth in the 1,500 meters in a time of 3:46.88. He followed that up with a second place finish in the 3,000 meters in 8:14.96, just edged by Washington's Jeremy Park (8:14.72) at the tape. Casey Burchill was eighth in the 3k in a time of 8:27.91. Jorge Torres ran his first meet since the NCAA Cross Country Championships and was fourth in the 800 meters in 1:51.99.
CU's high jumping duo of Andy Miller and Anna Magle had strong days, with Miller taking third and Magle second in the event. Magle scored a personal best with her leap of 5-7, while Miller tied his season best at 6-8.75. Brandon Johnson was third in the long jump with his stretch for 23-00, a season best for him. Johnson also jumped 6-2.75 in the high jump to scored for CU in that event as well.
Freshman Akobunndu Ikwuakor scored in a potpourri of events, taking third in the men's 110-meter hurdles in 14.66 and also pulling third in the 400 hurdles in 51.99. Chase Mullen was third in the men's hammer throw with a personal best 196-07, just two inches short of the school record of 196-9, held by Jeff Singleton. He is also a regional qualifier with that throw.
Next weekend the Buffaloes will travel to the Mt. San Antonio College Relays, one of the premier track & field meets of the season. All-Americans Molly Austin and Ed Torres, after taking this weekend off, will both run the 10,000 meters at Mt. SAC. The meet runs Thursday, April 17-Saturday, April 19
