SAN FRANCISCO – University of Colorado runner Erin Clark has been named the Pac-12 Conference Women’s Track & Field Freshman of the Year, as announced by the league on Wednesday afternoon.  

Clark recorded 18 points for the Buffs at the conference meet last weekend. She won the 3,000-meter steeplechase on Saturday and came back on Sunday to place second in the 5,000-meter run.

Clark clocked in at 10:02.16 to win the steeplechase, which put her fourth on CU’s all-time performers list behind Olympians Jenny Simpson, Emma Coburn and Shalaya Kipp. Her win in the steeplechase was the seventh straight conference win for the Buffs in the event.
