On November 13th, 2016, Nico Carvacho played his first minutes in a meaningful contest for Colorado State.
Against San Diego State Tuesday night, with only four players remaining from Carvacho’s first-year roster, the big man broke the program’s all-time rebounding record, passing Pat Durham in 33 fewer contests.
The milestone came in a 71-60 loss, but as a summation of the work Carvacho has put in, the accolade wasn’t all for naught.
“(The record) means a lot to me,” Carvacho said. “Especially (doing) it in such a short time compared to everyone else. I wish I could have some more (wins) with it but you know, all the work that I put in… I’m really proud of myself.
