Colorado State Notches Six Wins and Three Top 20 Marks on Saturday
BOULDER, Colo. – Even a slower day for the Colorado State track and field program comes with six event wins, a few top 20 all-time marks and a plethora of personal records to conclude the weekend's action on Saturday afternoon in the Colorado Invitational at Potts Field.
Â
The highest mark on the all-time school list was from Yolonda Johnson in the women's 400-meter hurdles as she crossed at 58.85 for the third-best time in CSU history. She shaved .32 seconds off her previous PR which was fifth on the list. She already had the fastest time in the event for the conference going into the weekend and thus improved it, but also rose to 14th on the NCAA West Performance List.
Â
Making his outdoor debut after participating in the World Athletic Championships, Tom Willems won the men's 400, crossing at 46.52 for a .15-second improvement of his PR but he stays fourth all-time in CSU history. The time ties him at 19th on the NCAA West list for the outdoor season.
Â
Mariano Kis won his second shot put of the season with a toss of 57'11.75'', which jumped him from 19th to 13th all-time in the Green and Gold with a 1'1.75'' improvement. The mark moves him up to 32nd in the NCAA West.
Â
The Ram men and women split the event wins, three and three. Gabi McDonald won the shot put and the discus, while Carly Wall got the other win in the 5,000. On the men's side, Adam Dawson captured the discus to go along with Willems and Kis' victories. In all, CSU racked up 14 PRs across both genders.
