FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Twelve members of the Colorado State track and field team earned all-conference honors, it was announced today by the Mountain West Conference. All-conference selections are awarded to the top three finishers in each event.

The eight men earning all-conference honors were Nnamdi Agwu (triple jump), Wil Buchanan (1,500 meter and 4x400-meter relay), Brian Fox (4x400-meter relay), Ryan Friese (800 meters and 4x400-meter relay), Alex Godell (hammer throw), Nigel Joseph (400-meter hurdles and 4x400-meter relay), Ian Lettow (shot put) and Caston Mabin (high jump). Of that group, three CSU men took home individual titles at last weekend’s MWC meet. Friese, Godell and Mabin all won in their respective events.

On the women’s side, Meagan Berg (hammer throw), Kristen Kugler (heptathlon) and Nicole Peters (3,000-meter steeplechase) all earned honors in one event while Missy Faubus earned all-MWC recognition in both the shot put and discus. Faubus was CSU’s lone event winner at the MWC meet as she captured the discus title.
