Colorado Notes (Sunday): USA Outdoors

The door is now closed on the 2013 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, but it didn't close before a few more athletes with Colorado connections had their chance to shine.

  • Russ Winger finished eighth in the shot put at 63-6
  • Valarie Allman competed in the discus but finished 15th at 154-11. That was the distance on her first throw, but the next two were fouled
  • Jeremy Dodson ran 20.93 (-0.8) in semi-finals of the 200, but missed making finals
  • David Oliver ran 13.05w for the best time in semis, but ended up second in the 110H finals with a time of 13.11 (+1.4)
  • Jenny Simpson took the 5000 in 15:33.77. Perhaps this is the event where Simpson settles? Laura Thweatt finished 14th in 16:12.94
  • Aric Van Halen and Billy Nelson went 9-12 in the men's steeple at 8:38.85 and 8:52.63
