CU Buffs' Kaitlyn Benner wins 5K title, Erin Clark second
Kaitlyn Benner and Erin Clark made for quite the one-two punch for Colorado's women's track team Sunday at the Pac-12 championships, and, in turn, the Buffs posted their best team finish since joining the conference.
The CU duo finished first and second in the 5,000 meters, helping the Buffs to a sixth-place finish at this year's championships at Husky Track in Seattle.
"We were really happy with a sixth-place finish," CU head coach Mark Wetmore said. "We saw that level of finish was attainable, but we were going to need some big points in the 5,000. We are really happy with the team finish, but it took some hard duty from some people."
