It's June News

Track & Field -

Track & Field has two more Regional Champions to add to the 5,000 meter championship they bagged Friday. Jenny Barringer and Billy Nelson claimed the 3,000 meter steeplechase title with Barringer running the fast collegiate time this year and Nelson winning his third title in as many years. Also advancing to the NCAA championship were the 4 x 100 meter team (Hugh Charles, Jeremy Dodson, Ryan Campbell and Nate Terry) who finished second while recording a school record, Jeremy Dodson also qualified in the 200 and Pete Jansen in the steeplechase. The CU men followed up there first place finish at the Big 12's with a third place finish at the Regional Championship. Texas A&M won both the men's and womens team event.

Next up for the Buffs is the NCAA championships in Des Moines, Iowa June 11 - 14.

Football -

The Buffs and CSU are talking an extension through the 2013.

Darrell Scott (#1) and Shaun Mohler are a few of the top newcomers this year to the Big 12. With the impact that the freshmen made in the Big 12 last year (see Michael Crabtree, Jeremy Maclin, Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray), all CU fans would love the trend to continue this year.
