Trio of Rams Earn Weekly Accolades from Mountain West Following Potts Indoor Invitational
Following performances at the Potts Indoor Invitational, Colorado State's Kelcey Bedard, Marybeth Sant and Ronald Sayles were recognized with weekly honors from the Mountain West on Tuesday, Jan. 15

Sant clocked a time of 7.18 in the women's 60 meters, breaking her own program record. At that point, her time ranked as the No. 2 mark in the world this indoor season, and tops in the NCAA. Sant's time is also third in MW history, just one hundredth of a second behind the all-time conference record.

Sayles clocked a indoor-best time of 21.29 in the 200 meters. Sayles' time ranks third on CSU's all-time indoor list, and at the time, ranked 16th in the NCAA. In addition, Sayles' mark ranked atop the Mountain West in the event by nearly three tenths of a second at that point.

Bedard turned in a then-season-best performance of 64-7.75 (19.70m) in the weight throw. At that point in the season, her mark ranked 28th in the NCAA, and led the MW by over five feet. Only four other athletes in program history have a better weight throw mark than Bedard's from that meet.

Sant's time was 7.26, following a preliminaries time of 7.31.
