BOULDER — The University of Colorado track and field team heated up Pott’s Field to record five first place finishes and break season and personal records on Friday and Saturday.

The Buffs shot off to a great start on Friday evening with the strong, consistent and steady Emily Hunsucker. Hunsucker placed first in the hammer throw with a mark of 212-07. The throw came from her first attempt and was just four inches shy of surpassing her own school record that she established at the last home meet, the Jerry Quiller Classic (3/21). The throw was also over 18 feet longer than the runner-up, CSU’s Kiah Hicks.

“Emily’s been working on some technical breakthroughs for the last couple weeks,” coach Casey Malone said. “This was a big step in the right direction. With three throws over 64 meters, she is starting to stabilize the new technical additions, and it shows that she’s ready for another improvement in performance, hopefully next week at Mt. SAC. It was also special to see her have such a great performance at her last home meet as a Buff.”
