BOULDER – Isaiah Oliver isn’t very big on down time – and that’s probably because someone might have to explain the concept to him.
This is one busy freshman, a time-is-precious guy who juggles academics, football and track at the University of Colorado. In itself that could be a crushing load, but Oliver has pushed the track component of his balancing act to another level.
He’s a decathlete, which means his practices are focused on 10 events rather than a couple. It’s a grueling, demanding, often brutal grind – and Oliver loves every step, every drop of sweat in the process.
