Coming into the indoor track and field season this winter, Colorado's Gabby Scott had high expectations.
After all, she had put together a solid junior season last year, so improvement was expected.
When she crossed the finish line at the end of the 400-meter run at the CU Invitational on Feb. 2, however, she was stunned. Scott's time was 53.56 seconds — blowing her previous best of 54.88 out of the water and setting a new school record.
"To come in and I opened at 53.5 with no one around me ... it was definitely shocking, but my training has been really, really good," she said.
