Track and field stars Andrew Ghizzone and Dani Jones have been named this week's UCHealth CU Athletes of the Week after their outstanding performances at last weekend's CU Invitational.

Junior distance runner Dani Jones made history on Friday night. She clock a 4:36.05 mile time, the fastest women's mile ever run in the state of Colorado. Jones separated herself from the pack early on and never looked back, besting her previous personal record of 4:38.68 by over two seconds. Her 4:36.05 mile time is the third fastest in school history, behind Olympic medalists Jenny Barringer and Emma Coburn.
