BOULDER — Colorado track and field star Avery McMullen took down her second school record here Friday, breaking the 21-year old record in the women's 60-meter hurdles in 8.25 seconds.

McMullen, who had a previous best of 8.28, broke former CU Olympian Hannah Cooper's record from 2002 of 8.27 seconds in the finals. McMullen ran 8.35 seconds in the prelims as the fastest qualifying time, then blasted to an easy win for the record.

The pentathlete already owns the school record in that event, adding the hurdle mark to her resume and now seeks the indoor long jump record that she is less than two inches from. Jenny Simpson is the only CU woman with more records indoor with three.

The women had an outstanding day, finishing as the top collegiate athletes in six events. Allie Routledge moved to fifth in CU history in the women's high jump, winning the event in 1.81 meters (5.11.25). She became the first CU woman indoors to clear the 1.80 meter mark since 1997 and now sits 18^th in the NCAA in the event.

The women also picked up wins in the long jump with Kara Lucyk jumping 5.79 meters (19-0) and Emma Pollak winning the 200 in 24.05 seconds before helping the women's 4x400 relay win in 3:50.12 seconds.

The last event of the evening, the women's invitational mile, saw Ella Baran finish second to CU Olympian Val Constien. Baran ran 4:45.23 seconds, which coverts down to around 4:38.20 with altitude conversion and puts her 11^th in the NCAA in the event. Her altitude converted time would've been seventh in CU history.

Also making marks in the record books was Jada Green who finished runner-up in the hurdles in 8.41 seconds. She moves to sixth in CU history.

The men also won six events today, led by grad transfer James Milholen who opened his CU career in the 400 with a win in 46.76 seconds. The mark instantly moved him to second in CU history behind only James Davis, and it also moved him to 18^th in the NCAA.

Heptathlete Troy Colleran, another graduate transfer for the Buffs, picked up wins in both vertical jumps. He won the high jump in 1.96 meters (6-5), defeating his teammates Noah Bouchard and Jackson Meyers on jumps as all three men cleared the height. Colleran backed up that performance with a clearance of 4.70 meters (15-5) in the pole vault to take the win there.

Tyler Sconce was another collegiate winner, finishing runner-up in the weight throw to former teammate Dominique Williams who set a new facility record. Sconce threw 18.93 meters (62-1.25).

The Buffs won both sections of the men's 3000 to close out the night. Grady Rauba took the first section in 8:26.72, then graduate transfer Seth Hirsch won the invitational section in 8:15.41 seconds.

Colorado continues the indoor season next week with trips to Colorado Mines and Washington State.
