Men's high jump made their debut on Saturday, carrying momentum from a successful indoor season by sweeping the podium at the Jerry Quiller classic.

Shukurani won the event with a mark of 2.14/7-0.25, then moved to the 2.19-meter bar where he narrowly missed his third attempt.

Trenton Givens made his outdoor debut for the Rams, kicking things off with a 14.14 in the 110 hurdles, winning the event. Givens time ranks in a tie for 11th in school history.

Anna Wehreberg ran a season best 57.22 in the 400 meters to win the event. On the men's side of the 400 Andrew Waletich ended in second place with his 48.26. Ella Pickron hit the 12-foot mark in the pole vault to enter the CSU record book's top 20.

The women's discus was a shining light on the day with the Rams finishing 1 through five and adding in three personal bests. Klaire Kovatch led the charge with a career best 59.55/195-04, winning the event and moving to sixth all time in CSU's record book. Kovatch currently sits fifth in the NCAA in the discus, primed for another swing at NCAA Outdoor Nationals.
