BOULDER - Just one week after the University of Colorado competed at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, the Buffs head home to start the outdoor season with the Potts Invitational on March 18. The field events will kick off the day at 9 a.m. and the running events will start at 1 p.m.

  

The Buffaloes will compete against several Front Range schools. Air Force, Western State, Northern Colorado, Wyoming and Metro State, as well as unattached athletes from Colorado State will compete on Saturday.

 

Zach Hazen and Cortney Hutmacher will lead the CU throwers into action, while Hugh Charles and Amberly Casey will lead the charge in the long and triple jumps. On the track, George Pincock, Chris Abuan, Jackie Strum and Mikaela Raddatz look to lead a young class of sprinters.
