Jones Takes National Title in 5,000

AUSTIN, Texas – Colorado's Dani Jones takes the title in the 5,000-meter run at the 2019 NCAA National Championships as the Buffs vault into the top-10 in team scoring in the final day.

It was a day for the ages as the Buffaloes entered the final day of competition with no team points and left with the second-highest finish in school history. Four CU women placed inside the top-six in three events, including Jones' national championships and Gabby Scott finishing as the national runner-up in the 400 hurdles. The team's 24 points scored is the second most, trailing only the 2000 squad that tied for eighth in the nation after Kara (Grgas-Wheeler) Goucher took both the 3,000 and 5,000 titles.
