McMullen Climbs Record Book At Mines
February 05, 2021 | Track and Field
GOLDEN – Colorado track and field sophomore Avery McMullen climbed up the record book in the women's long jump Friday afternoon here, moving within four inches of breaking the record.
McMullen had the win from her first jump, leaping 6.02 meters. That wasn't enough for her as she jumped 5.95 on her third jump and then hit the big one on her final jump at 6.04 meters (19-9.75). All three jumps were personal bests for her and she moves to third all-time in CU history with the leap.
McMullen now has the farthest indoor jump for a Buff since 1996, and the third-farthest jump in the past 20 years for a CU woman.
She wasn't alone as Jada Green jumped 5.66m (18-7), Kara Lucyk jumped 5.61m (18-5), Elise Gillett jumped 5.27 meters (17-7.5) and Sarah Aanenson jumped 5.18 meters (17-0).
Another strong showing for the CU women came in the shot put where Lauren Whyrick threw 13.20 meters (43-3.75) and Jada Green threw 12.97 meters (42-6.75). Both are inching closer to the CU top-10 which starts at 45-10.5.
On the men's side, Nick Bianco had strong showings in the pole vault (14-10) and the long jump (21-2.75), both personal bests in a CU uniform.
In the men's throws, Tyler Sconce threw the weight throw 18.24 meters (59-10.25) while Caleb Penner threw 17.96 meters (58-11.25). Neither were personal bests but came very close. Unattached athlete and CU grad transfer Dominique Williams dominated the competition with a bomb of a throw at 19.76 meters (64-10). The mark would have been the second farthest throw in CU history, but unfortunately Williams exhausted his indoor eligibility last season.
Colorado only runs one event tomorrow at Colorado Mines, the 60 hurdles for both the men and women.
