BOULDER – After being sidelined for almost two years with injuries to both hips and a stress fracture in his femur, University of Colorado three-time track and field All-American Joe Bosshard is finally back in the race.
The road back has been steep, but it’s one that Bosshard has successfully maneuvered despite multiple set-backs. “The most challenging thing has been keeping a positive attitude; there have been lot of ups and downs. I’ve had to believe that if I just stay patient, it would all work out,” he said.
His senior outdoor season hasn’t been without injury-related challenges, but he still is qualified for this week’s NCAA West Preliminaries on Thursday-Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark. He can compete in two events (5k and 10k) and is one of 18 Buffs student-athletes (10 men, 8 women) scheduled to make the trip.
