FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The University of Colorado track and field team got in its final tune-up before the Big 12 Championship on Saturday at the Fum McGram Open and came away with some great performances.
Brianne Beemer raced to the top spot in 400-meter hurdles. She recorded a personal best of 1:00.96 and just edged out Wyoming's Taylor Gardner who finished in 1:01.01. Elizabeth Tremblay also earned a first-place finish as she won the 800-meter run in 2:13.61. Teammate Brooke Regan was just behind her and finished in 2:15.41. Shalaya Kipp debuted in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and finished with a mark of 10:53.14, another individual title for CU. Emily Hanenburg took second place in the steeple (11:08.70), her first race of the season.
On the men's side Joe Bosshard won the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3:53.86. He was followed closely by a pair of teammates, Matthew Biegner and Aric Van Halen. Biegner placed second (3:44.97) and Van Halen was third (3:59.16).
The men's 4x100-meter relay once again topped the field. The quartet of A.J. Whitaker, Quinton Dodson, Kyle MacIntosh and Jeremy Dodson earned a season-best time of 40.19. They bested Wyoming's relay that placed second with a time of 40.54.
The Buffs also had some great performances in the field. Katie Dreher won the triple jump with her season best leap of 37 feet, 2.25 inches. Alex Von Hagen tossed a huge personal record of 182-02 in the javelin, surpassing his former PR of 161-04. CU's Brandin Williams, who is redshirting the 2010 season, won the javelin with a throw of 187-04.
Assistant coach Casey Malone recorded the third best throw by an American this season when he launched the discus 215-02. It is also the 13th best in the world to date.
The next action for the Buffs is the Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championship May 14-16 in Columbia, Mo.
