Buffs Have Great First Day To Kick Off Oregon State High Performance Meet

April 28, 2017 | Track and Field

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Sophomore Dani Jones lead the way for the University of Colorado's track team on the first day of the Oregon State High Performance Meet here Friday. Jones, winning the 1,500-meter race, also produced the 10th top performance all-time at Colorado with a PR of 4:12.68.

Women's Track Events: CU junior Erin Clark gave Colorado their second top three finish on the day when she finished third in the 5,000-meters, running the race with great time of 16:11.32.  Her time is the second-best time run by a Buff in the event this season.
           
Jones got herself the win but she wasn't alone in being successful in the 1,500-meter event for the Buffs.  Freshman Madie Boreman ran a PR time of 4:19.61 which gave her a top ten finish at eight, putting two Buffs in the 1,500-meter top ten.
           
In the 3,000-meter steeplechase event freshman Sage Hurta ran the second fastest time by a Buff this season finishing third, for CU's third top three finish in the meet, with a solid time of 10:15.75.
           
Giving CU another top ten finish in the meet was sophomore Tabor Scholl whose time of 10:33.31 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase was good enough for her to finish ninth.

Men's Track Events: The men competed in one race, and following the standard of the day set by the women, had two top ten finishes in the 1,500-meters.
           
Sophomore Joe Klecker finished second in the 1,500-meters, making it four top three finishes for CU, with a PR time of 3:41.45 and his time now puts him sixth on CU's top performers list.  Fellow sophomore John Dressel rounded out the Buff men, crushing his previous PR finishing sixth with a time of 3:45.49.

Up Next: The Buffs return to action tomorrow on the second day of the OSU High Performance Meet with the meet kicking off in the field at 11:00 a.m. MT.
