BOULDER — It has already been a big month for Colorado junior Dani Jones.
It's about to get even bigger this weekend.
Jones last weekend ran the fastest mile ever by a woman on Colorado soil when she clocked a 4:36.05 in the Colorado Invitational, a time that turned heads around the nation, especially because it came at altitude. It was also the third-fastest fastest time ever by a Buff woman, trailing only Olympic and World Championships medalists Jenny Simpson and Emma Coburn.
Now, Jones will take the competition level up a notch — actually, several notches — when she competes Saturday in the New Balance Grand Prix 3,000 in Boston.
