Texas has staged a rally in the 800 meter race taking the first three spots and 24 points to put them ahead with 3 events left but Jeremy Dodson, CU's resident speedster, took second place in the 200 meter dash and Ryan Campbell took 8th for a total of 9 points putting the Buffs back in the lead by 4 over Texas with 2 events left, the 5,000 meter and 1,600 meter relay. The Buffs, Texas, Nebraska and Texas A&M, who has staged a late charge, are all still in contention within 12 points of the Buffs. The 5,000 should be an event the Buffs do well in with Brent Vaughn being the odds on favorite to win as he posted the best mark in the Big 12 this year but with the #1 team in Texas A&M lurking and a potent Texas in second, the Big 12 Championship should come down to the final event.
Hugh Charles and a team of three others, including Dodson and Campbell also finished third in the 4x100 relay event, netting the Buffs 6 points earlier today, rounding out an impressive week for Hugh as he also scored in the long jump.
On the women's side, Texas A&M has all but wrapped it up with a dominating performance leading Nebraska, who has had a strong showing on both the men's and womens side, by 46 points. The CU women are in last place with only 13 points, 132 points behind the Aggies.
