Perhaps it's time to start wondering if the Colorado track and field program will bring back a national championship when the Buffaloes return from Eugene, Ore.
Sophomore Dani Jones and freshman Madie Boreman served notice on Thursday that they are more than ready to compete for a national title with their stellar performances in their respective preliminary heats at the NCAA championships.
Jones in particular put together a dominant effort in the preliminaries of the women's 1,500-meter run, turning in the top overall time of 4 minutes, 10.74 seconds to win the opening heat. Jones' victory gave her an automatic berth in the 1,500-meter final, which will be held on Saturday afternoon at 4:41 p.
