CU Football Players Double Up With Track Team

BOULDER — Colorado football players Isaiah Oliver, Christian Shaver and Patrick Carr will be adding some depth — and hopefully some points — to the Buffaloes’ track squad this spring.

Oliver, a national-caliber decathlete in high school, will be competing in a variety of events at the end of the indoor season with an eye on the decathlon when the outdoor season begins. Shaver, a Utah state high school discus champ and a standout in the javelin, will participate in the throws. Carr, who owned his high school’s long jump record in The Woodlands, Texas, will likely concentrate on sprints and relays in the outdoor season.
