As usual, it was a good day for the Colorado track and field team Saturday at the annual Colorado Invitational.
Among the highlights for Buffaloes were victories in two events by freshman Gunner Rigsby, dominant team efforts in the women's 3,000-meter run and the men's 1,500-meter run, as well as a wealth of personal-best times and scores across CU's lineup.
Yet CU head coach Mark Wetmore has been around long enough to understand who the true MVPs were Saturday at Potts Field: the CU athletics grounds crew.
Despite a record number of entrants for the meet and uncooperative weather that turned a two-day affair into a single day of jam-packed action, the Buffs still were able to enjoy a standout performance at their final home meet of the outdoor season.
