Final Results

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Freshman Avery Wright wrapped up a new program record in the heptathlon as Colorado School of Mines track & field closed a huge weekend at the Maverick Invite & Multi.

Wright scored 4,900 points in her debut in the multi-event, marking the sixth different program record to fall over the past 72 hours. Coming off some big performances on Saturday, Wright picked up with a personal-best 5.67m long jump (itself the #7 all-time performance at Mines), threw a 28.95m javelin, and finished with a 2:25.72 800m to get to 4,900, surpassing Amanda Giles' record of 4,859 set in 2018. It landed Wright second overall in the event with the #11 D-II performance of the season, placing behind only Colorado Mesa all-American Mica Jenrette by 122 points.

Mines doubled up in 400m hurdle wins as Allison Comer won in 1:04.36, not only her personal best but also her first career win in the event and the new #4 all-time Mines performance. Coulton Chan then added a victory in 55.30, also his first career event win, as he went 1-2 with Elijah Quinby in 55.46. Chan would also run 14.86 seconds for third in the 110m hurdles, a new personal best.
