Colorado was in action in four meets on Friday
STANFORD, Calif. - The Buffaloes had a busy day Friday, competing at four different meets across three time zones and states. Â
Colorado had representatives at the Bobcat Invitational, the Texas Relays, the Jack Christiansen Invitational and capped off the day with the distance runners at the Stanford Invitational. Â
Isaiah Givens placed second in his CU 1500-meter debut at the Stanford Invitational. He ran a time of 3:41.48 and now holds the seventh-best mark in CU history. In the men's 10k, Austin Vancil placed fifteenth, running 28:24.72. Charlie Sweeney (28:28.05), James Overberg (28:38.95), and Jace Aschbrenner (28:46.76) all ran personal bests. Â
On the women's side, India Johnson ran a 32:38.36 and placed eleventh in the women's 10k. Her time was a personal best and is the fifth-best mark in CU history. Kaitlyn Barthell also crossed the finish in the 10k with a new personal best of 33:31.82. Ella Baran and Bailey Hertenstein competed in the women's 1500-meters. Baran placed eighth with a new personal best (4:18.64), while Hertenstein clocked a 4:19.33 to place ninth. Â
All of these athletes should be good to make NCAA regionals with these marks.Â
Friday marked the second day of the Texas Relays. CU's men's 4x400 (Tyler Williams, Ian Gilmore, Garrett Nelson, and James Milholen) placed third, running a 3:06.12. The team was assisted by a huge anchor leg from Milholen. Colorado's time was the best in its nine-team heat and qualified third-overall for Saturday's final. The team's time is the fastest time even ran by a Buffs 4x400 team in Austin as well as the fifth-best mark in CU history. Â
At the Jack Christiansen Invitational, Tyler Sconce and Ames Newman teamed up to place first and second in the men's hammer. Sconce took the win with a throw of 57.77m. Newman took second, throwing 47.79m, a new personal best. Amanda Opp threw 55.97m to place second in the women's hammer.
Garrett Nelson would also place fourth in the men's 400 hurdles, running 52.57 at the Bobcat Invitational. Â
The Buffs will continue competing tomorrow at all four meets.
