For the second time this weekend and the third time this season, Matt Ward broke his own school record in the men's hammer with a winning throw of 66.33m (217-07). He previously set the school record with throws of 213-8 and his most recent mark of 213-10. Ward remains in the top 20 performers in the NCAA West region and moves into the top 35 in the nation.
Tyler Sconce also competed in the event, placing second with a throw of 59.13m (194-00). Lars Atkinson, Isaiah Bouchard and Ames Newman went 4, 5, and 6 for the Buffs in the event.
Ward and Atkinson also returned as CU's top two throwers in the discus. Ward closed the event in second with a top mark of 53.76m (176-04). Atkinson placed third with a personal-best toss of 51.65m (169-05).
Amanda Opp set a new personal best in the women's hammer, taking first place with a throw of 59.99m (196-10). She is now tied for second-best in CU history. Jane Powers placed third in the event, throwing 54.61m (179-02), while Isabella Braun threw a new personal best of 53.95m (177-00) to place fourth.
