Truly Magnificent
Instead of braving the cold rain and snow on Friday, the Rams
postponed the Glenn Morris Multi-Event Invitational for Sunday and
today – the planned worked well.
CSU freshman Katie Lloyd won the heptathlon on Monday, scoring
4,961 points and missing the NCAA qualifying standard by just 39
points. Freshman teammate Tonya Cure finished second with 4,492
points, while freshman Kelly Marquardt finished sixth with 3,646
points.
Lloyd’s two-day total of 4,961 is also the third best in school
history behind the school record of 5,160 held by CSU assistant
coach Lindsey Malmgren and junior Cristina Gourdin’s total of
5,136, which she accumulated earlier this season. Lloyd finished
the heptathlon with a bang, running a personal-best time of 2
minutes, 29.43 seconds in the day’s final event, the 800
meters.
Cure also ran a career-best 2:18.91 in the 800 meters to win the
event and Marquardt had career-highs in both the long jump and the
800 meters.
Freshman decathlete Kevin Johnson did not compete today after
fouling on all three of his shot-put attempts Sunday.
The Colorado State track & field teams will be in
Albuquerque, N.M., on Saturday for the Modrall Sperling Don Kirby
Invitational.
