WALNUT, Calif. ? The University of Colorado competed in the Mt. SAC Relays on Friday, April 13, where Kenyon Neuman, Jenny Barringer and Amberly Casey led the Buffs on the day with a first-place finish and a pair of runner-ups.

Barringer led the Colorado women in the 1,500 meter run, finishing in second place with a mark of 4:21.53, as Liza Pasciuto followed behind at 15th and a 4:27.25 mark.

Amberly Casey took first in the long jump. In her first competition of the outdoor season, she recorded a leap of 19-07.50.

Billy Nelson finished the men's steeplechase with a time of 8:40.88, the eleventh best time in school history, to take fifth place. He also became the fifth fastest CU male in the steeplechase.

Results for the men's 800, 1500 and women's 5000-meter runs were not available at the time of this release.
