Friday at Simplot is mostly about getting to finals--without spikes in your shoes. If the times today seem a little slow for the athletes in question, that would be your explanation. Those who make finals get to wear spikes on the wooden track.
And, a rather lengthy list of Colorado athletes advanced. The size of the list is such that I will simply attempt to list all Colorado entries making it to finals. More detail, including times, can be found by traveling to the meet page. By the way, my apologies in advance if I overlook anyone--please just let me know and I will update the article.
