MileSplit Shorts: Hurdling Into Championship Season


Two state records for distances equaling 3,200 nearly went down this week. And when I write "equaling 3,200" I mean the girl's 3,200, and the boy's 4x800. 

Week Nine of the 2023 Colorado track and field season hinted at what's to come in a few weeks. 

And what's to come are some insane performances. 

So much happened this week quite a few notable performances didn't even make into this week's edition of MileSplit Shorts - in order to keep MileSplit Shorts short.

Excluded from this week's edition of MileSplit Shorts were performances like Gabriella Cunningham's state-leading 43.23 300H, Emma Stutzman's state-leading 4:50.29 1,600, Mesa Ridge's two state-leading marks in the 4x100 and the 4x200, Windor's 1:47.14 SMR, Niwot's 9:07 4x800, Eva Bellot's 5-7 high jump, Brandon Hills' 10.54 100, Tyler Downs 1:53.12 800, Jack Wetterling's 38-flat 300H, Northfield's 41.48 4x100, Cherokee Trail's 1:26.49 4x200, Osita Ogbo's 49-5 triple jump, Daniel Barombaye 188-1 discus, and Charlie LaFore's 60-8.5 shot put. 

If you haven't picked up already, everything mentioned above was a state-leading mark. 

Oh yeah, and Cherokee Trail had four runners run 1:56.64 or faster. Just imagine if they had run a 4x800 this weekend -- add them to the hype around the boy's 5A 4x800 talk...

It was a wild weekend for Colorado track and field!
