Senior Brady Rutt and sophomore Mariah Walker led the Buffs with a pair of runner-up finishes in the throws. Rutt recorded a throw of 57-8.25 in the weight throw, which was just barely second to Colorado State’s Tyler Schultz’s mark of 59-3. Walker placed second in the shot put, launching a personal best mark of 48-11.75. The toss also put Walker third on CU’s all-time performers list.
The jumps were another area where the Buffs saw success. Senior Abrianna Torres was third in the long jump and sophomore Michaela Wenning placed fifth. Torres finished the day with a jump of 18-11.25, while Wenning jumped 17-8.25, a personal best.
Freshman Duane McClurkin Jr. was third overall in the men’s high jump, clearing 6-8.75, just two inches shy of the first place jumper, AFA’s Taylor Smith (6-11.75). The women’s team had two Buffs in the top five of the high jump. Sophomore Rajon O’Quinn and senior Kelsey English each finished with a 5-7 mark, but O’Quinn took fourth, while English came away with a fifth place finish after the tiebreaker.
Colorado’s runners were also busy on the track. McClurkin Jr. ran his first 200 for the Buffs and placed third overall in 21.94 in front of sophomore Austin Mitsch (Sacramento, Ca) (21.96), who placed fourth. In the 400, freshman Trenton Stringari recorded a fifth place finish in 51.11. The women were led in the sprints by sophomore Alexandria Peters, who took fourth in the 200 in 25.09.
Freshman Alexander Billing was the highest finishing Buff in the hurdles, clocking a fourth place finish in the 60-meter hurdles (8.29). On the women’s side, Torres just missed the top five with a sixth place finish in 9.05.
The CU men’s mile relay team took home top honors in the final event of the meet, finishing in 3:20.81. The women’s mile relay was fourth overall, clocking in at 3:54.33.
The Buffs will be in action next Friday and Saturday, January 15-16, at the Pott Indoor Invitational at Balch Fieldhouse.
