Like his fellow seniors on the Colorado track and field team, Andrew Ghizzone gave it everything he had during his final competitive lap at Potts Field last weekend.
In the end, it wasn't a race likely to be filed away at the forefront of Ghizzone's memories as a member of the Colorado Buffaloes. Competing in just one event at the annual Colorado Invitational, the 400-meter run, Ghizzone posted a time of 50.21 seconds. All that got for Ghizzone was sixth in his heat and 20th overall.
However, those numbers don't come close to telling Ghizzone's true story, either as an athlete (he is more of a jack-of-all-trades who owns the program's indoor heptathlon record) or as a person.
