Mother Nature thought she could wipe out the only track meet hosted by Colorado College this spring. However, thanks to members of the CC and UCCS teams and coaching staffs, several inches of snow were removed from Frank Flood Track at Washburn Field Saturday morning and the CC Invitational went off as scheduled.
 
The meet eventually turned into a dual between the two teams along with some independent runners.
 
Sophomore Justin Nguyen claimed a pair of first-place results Saturday by winning the 100-meter dash in a time of 11.28 seconds and the 200-meter race in 25.09 seconds. Freshman Quin Gattey completed the sweep of the sprints by winning the 400 meters in 52.16 seconds. Sophomore Robin Li and freshman Jasper Coulter finished third and fourth, respectively, in the 100, while sophomore Sean Fite placed fourth in the 400 and fifth in the 200. Li also finished sixth in the 400.

In the field events, freshman Hanry Baldwin was the only participant in the high jump (1.72 meters), while Nguyen finished second in the long jump (4.81 meters) and freshman Trevor Hightower did the same in the triple jump 11.06 meters).
 
Other top 10 finishers for CC were freshman Greg Williamson (3rd in the 800), sophomore Ethan Holland (4th in the 800), freshman David Eik (6^th in the 3K), senior Jacob Rothman (7^th in the 3K) and junior Conor Terhune (8^th in the 3K).
 
The Tigers will travel to Pueblo next Saturday, April 2, for the CSU-Pueblo Pack Classic.
