BOULDER -The University of Colorado returns home this weekend to host the Colorado Invitational on Saturday, April 7, at Potts Field. The field events will kick off the day at 9 a.m. with the women's hammer throw. The running events are set to start at 2 p.m. with the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase.

 

The forecast for Saturday's meet is a high of 42 and a 30 percent chance of precipitation. Should inclement weather force a cancellation of the meet, such notice will be posted on www.CUBuffs.com as well as a message left on the track and field office voice mail at 303/492-5227.

 

The Buffaloes will compete against several Front Range schools at the CU Invite. Air Force, Colorado State, UC-Colorado Springs, Wyoming, Metro State, Colorado School of Mines and Northern Colorado will field complete teams on Saturday. The South Dakota Tech men's team and the Mesa State women's team will also compete on Saturday.

 

Zach Hazen, who set the school record in the hammer throw last weekend, and Ryan Willis will led the throwers into action. Hazen will compete in the hammer and discus, while Willis will take part in the hammer, shot and discus. Hannah Warfield-Ruffatto continues her quest to break the CU record in the javelin.
