Pifer Leads Buffs In Oregon
April 21, 2007 | Track and Field
“I thought it went pretty well,” Pifer said. “It was my fastest opener in the 1500 and my first race of the year. I wish it would have been a little faster, but I think it was pretty good indication of what kind of shape I am in and things to come.”
The time was the fourth fastest in school history, trailing only Alan Culpepper (3:39.77) and two of Pifer's own marks of 3:40.51 and 3:40.70.
Pifer defeated
Senior Anthony Chiulli took 11th in the same section of the 1,500. He crossed the finish in 3:49.55.
In section B of the 1,500, senior Daniel Kenney placed fifth overall. He crossed the tape at 3:56.27. Freshmen Matt Herzl and Dan Edwards came in 22nd and 23rd, respectively. Herzl recorded a mark of 3:59.75 and Edwards came in at 4:00.26.
Junior Greg Castro placed 19th in his section of the 5,000-meters. He recorded a personal record in 15:23.60.
The Buffs head to the Cardinal and Wyoming Invites next weekend.
