The Colorado State track and field teams fought cold, windy weather at the Tom Benich Classic hosted by the University of Northern Colorado and fared well.
Freshman Janay DeLoach won the 100 meters in a time of 12.32, while fellow freshman Megan Fox was right behind her in second at 12.38. Danielle Korb and Katie Yemm took the top two spots in the 1500 meters, with Korb qualifying for NCAA Regionals with her time of 4:32.45. Katrice Thomas and Yemm were second and third, respectively, in the 400 meters. The women?s 4x100 meter relay team was also victorious, running a 47.16. Jill McKenzie and Rheannon Backes both cleared 5-3 to tie for second place in the high jump and were the top collegians, while Christine Ahn won the pole vault for the second week in a row, this time clearing 12-0. Keela Niemeyer won the shot put at 49-7.75, qualifying for NCAA regionals and increasing her season-best by a foot. Katie Hansen also won the discus, with her throw of 164-8, which qualifies her for NCAA regionals and increases her season-best by almost four feet and Melissa Harms won the hammer throw with her toss of 181-3 to qualify for NCAA regionals.
On the men?s side, Chris Grapsas won the 100 meters in 11.16 and Justin Hazzard was second in the 400 meters with a time of 48.17.
