The Doug Max Invitational presented by Ed Carroll VW Porsche Audi Fort Collins featured the Rams competing with athletes from Air Force, Colorado and Wyoming.

Sant, Ozoude and Rocker also made an impact on the Rams' all-time outdoor list in individual events.

Sant won the won the 100 meters in a personal-best time of 11.56, which ranks third all-time by a Ram. Her previous best was 11.80 set last season.
Ozoude won Sunday's 400 meters in a personal-best time of 53.79, which also ranks third all-time at CSU, and tops her previous best of 53.84 set last season.
Rocker crossed the line first in the 200 meters in a personal-best time of 24.15, which ranks seventh on CSU's all-time outdoor list, eclipsing her previous best of 24.80 set last year.

Nathan Gish logged the ninth-best men's 200-meter outdoor time at CSU to win in 21.25, topping his previous best of 21.5 at last year's Mountain West Championships, while Emma Atwell's winning time of 11:29.72 in a victorious women's 3,000-meter steeplechase was 15^th-best on CSU's all-time list.

IN THEIR WORDS
Colorado State head coach Brian Bedard
On the school-record women's 4x100 relay:
"The 4x100 was definitely a highlight for us today. It's fun to see that group get together and do some special things. What's exciting is that not all the handoffs were perfect—we had one that could be a lot better, so they're just going to get faster and faster as the season goes on. There were some good performances across the board, and that's always fun to see."
On the significance of the Doug Max Invitational:
"It was a great day to have a meet. We had to move it off Saturday, and I think that was the right decision because we had beautiful weather today to celebrate (Sr. Assoc. AD) Doug Max and his influence on our program. It was fun to have him out here and acknowledge him. He recruited me out of high school (when he was head coach), I was an athlete under him and then a young assistant coach. He took a chance on me and provided a young guy fresh out of college with an opportunity to become a coach. He's continued to mentor me through the years, both working for him as a head coach, and even now to this day I still call him with things, so I think it was important for the impact he's had on our program and athletic department to acknowledge him and lift him up."
