TEMPE, Ariz. — The University of Colorado track and field team opened the Pac-12+/Big Ten Challenge with the Buffs competing in the hammer throw and javelin events Friday evening at Arizona State's Sun Angel Stadium.

Junior Elisa Grandemange placed ninth in the women's hammer, recording a throw of 173-11 (53.02), and was CU's top finisher of the day. She also placed highest of the four Buff women competing in the javelin thrown in 11th and was able to set a new personal best in the event.

This is the fourth year the Pac-12+/Big Ten Challenge has been in existence, but first time Colorado has competed in the meet.
