Wetmore-Wednesday Top Races: Barringer Breaks Six Collegiate Records In Final Track Season

BOULDER – The Colorado track and field and cross country program has a special history, one that began to hit full-stride under head coach Mark Wetmore.

CU track and field and cross country will take a look back at every year under Wetmore and recap the best races and teams of every calendar year.

Since her first track and field season as a Buffalo in 2006, Jenny (Barringer) Simpson was adding every year to the legacy of CU's distance program. But during the 2009 indoor and outdoor seasons, she rewrote the NCAA and CU record books, cementing her status as one of the greatest collegiate distance runners of all-time.
