Track & Field

vs NCAA Outdoor T&F Championships

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Colorado State track & field will send five athletes to NCAA Outdoor Nationals in June as Klaire Kovatch and Catherine Garrison each punched their tickets to Eugene on the final day of the NCAA West Regional, Saturday.

Kovatch took the stage first and delivered a dominant performance in the discus. A strong first throw of 56.90 meters/186-feet-8 would have been enough to see her way through, but Kovatch went a step further and logged 58.39m/191-7 on her second attempt – an identical mark to the one that won her a gold medal at the Mountain West Championships.

Kovatch finished second in the field and will make her third trip to NCAA outdoor nationals.

Garrison was sensational in her run in the women's steeplechase, clocking a time of 10:07.09 that had her sitting comfortably in third place after the conclusion of two heats. As the third heat crossed the line, Garrison remained within qualifying range and secured her first career trip to nationals.

Kovatch and Garrison complete a group of five Rams that will compete at nationals, joining Makayla Long (shot put), Kenny Carpenter (400) and Trenton Givens (110H). The NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships will take place at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., from June 10-13.
