The annual USA Track and Field Championships will be held this weekend at Drake University, and the field will be permeated with current and former University of Colorado stars.
Representing the current Buffaloes will be Sage Hurta, Dani Jones, and Joe Klecker, while former Buffs Jenny Simpson, Emma Coburn, and Shalaya Kipp highlight the CU alums.
Hurta won the Pac-12 Conference championship in the 3,000-meter steeplechase but had a disappointing showing at the NCAA West preliminaries. She will try to bounce back in the steeplechase on Thursday in a race that also includes Coburn, the Olympic bronze medalist in the steeplechase in 2016, and Kipp, an Olympian in 2012.
