Buffs Ghizzone, Oliver Make Most Of 'Home Field' Edge

CU duo goes 1-2 in Colorado Open

BOULDER — Colorado track and field standout Andrew Ghizzone finally had the chance to enjoy "home field" advantage for an indoor heptathlon this week.

The CU junior made the most of the opportunity, outdueling teammate Isaiah Oliver for the Colorado Open title on Friday, clinching the win with a victory in the day's final event, the 1,000-meter run.

Ghizzone finished the two-day, seven-event competition with 5,223 points while Oliver — a starting cornerback for the Colorado football team — was second with 5,113 points.
