Rams win second annual rivalry dual with Wyoming
FORT COLLINS – After falling short in last year's inaugural Border Dual, Colorado State track & field found its revenge on Saturday against rival Wyoming as both the men's and women's teams were victorious at the Jack Christiansen Track.
Â
The women's team won the meet by a score of 90-40, while the men's team took a 90-32 victory.
Â
The exclamation point was provided by freshman Jet Van Der Heijden who put on a clinic in the women's javelin competition by recording a personal best on four of her six attempts. The Netherlands native unleashed a 49.60 meter/162-feet-8.75 missile on her final attempt of the day, vaulting her to third all-time in CSU history and within the projected qualifying range for NCAA Regionals. Van Der Heijden also recorded a PR in the hammer throw earlier in the day with a mark of 46.40/152-2.75.
Â
Several other personal bests were set on the day, beginning with Ndayiragije Shukurani who was seeking to set the program record in the high jump. Shukurani entered the day with a personal best of 7-0.25, just 0.5 inches off of the CSU record. The sophomore came up just short of the record but improved his personal best with a mark of 2.15 meters/7-0.5.
Â
Several impressive performances were found in the men's 200 as Kenny Carpenter entered the program's top-20 in a big way with his time of 21.24 that put him 13th. Also entering the top 20 in the event was Wilkins Persichina who clocked a 21.42 which is good for 19th all-time.
Â
Neya Jamison continued her impressive outdoor season by recording a personal best in the 100 hurdles. Jamison's time of 13.47 further solidifed her place at No. 3 in the CSU record book. Also clocking a PR in the event was Annabella Palillian, whose 14.25 improved upon her previous best by 0.01 seconds.
Â
Carsen Bruns stole the show in the men's 400 hurdles, running a personal best 51.81 that stands as the No. 12 time in CSU history. Bruns' time is the fastest among active Rams, surpassing teammates Jack Wetterling and Owen Langdon.
Â
Leonardo Ramos continued his climb after missing the majority of indoor season due to an injury and hit a major season milestone in the men's shot put. Ramos recorded a season best 18.29/60-0, marking his first throw of 60 feet since the 2025 outdoor season.
Â
Leading the way on the men's side of the javelin was freshman Austin Shaffer, who threw 58.89m/193-2.5 on his final attempt of the day. The mark established a PR for Shaffer and put him in the program's top 20 all time.
Â
Up Next
Colorado State competes at home for the final time this season at the Doug Max Invitational next Saturday, May 2. The meet will serve as senior day for 19 members of the program.
