OREDIGGERS GET FINAL WORK IN BEFORE POSTSEASON
Colorado School of Mines will split up to compete in two meets this week, hosting the new Mines Midweek Invite on Thursday at Stermole Track, with distance runners heading to California for the three-day Bryan Clay Invitational beginning Thursday. The snowy weather forecast in Golden forced the cancellation of this weekend's Mines Pre-Conference meet, but Thursday's forecast is perfect for the Midweek Invite.

LIVE COVERAGE
Live results for the Mines Midweek Invite will be available at minesathletics.com/tracklive. The meet will not be streamed on the RMAC Network. Admission for fans is free, but they are reminded to pay for on-campus parking before 5 p.m.

The Bryan Clay Invitational streams on FloSports for subscribers, with live results also available.

WHAT TO WATCH - MINES MIDWEEK INVITE
The Orediggers put together a tri-meet with MSU Denver and CSU Pueblo for Thursday's Midweek Invite, a final chance to get work in before next week's RMAC Championships in Pueblo. The one-day format will start with throws at 11 a.m., the long jump at 2 p.m., pole vault at 3 p.m., and a two-hour track block at 4 p.m. that will include distances up to 1,500m and a women's 5,000m.

WHAT TO WATCH - BRYAN CLAY INVITATIONAL
Heat assignments and times are still being finalized as of this writing, but Thursday at the Bryan Clay Invitational will see seven Orediggers competing in the 3,000m steeplechase and 10,000m run, and then a group of seven more runners will compete in 5,000m heats on Friday. Brock Drengenberg will close the meet with the 1,500m on Saturday after also running the 800m on Friday. 

IN THE RANKINGS
The third USTFCCCA rankings of the season were announced this week with the Mines men down a spot to #4 while the women held firm at #7. Mines was very well-represented in the EventSquad rankings with the men's 800 group still #1 in the nation along with the men's 5,000m (#3), men's 400m (#4), and men's 110m hurdles (#5) groups all sitting in the national top five.

MEN'S 4x400 EARNS RMAC HONOR
Liam Currie, Jonah Fallon, Tim Thompson, and Elijah Quinby broke the RMAC 4x400 record by nearly two seconds at the Mines Midweek Meet & Multi, running 3:06.47 to earn the RMAC Men's Track Athletes of the Week award. It ranks as the #2 performance in NCAA Division II this season - likely punching their ticket to the NCAA Championships - and is #17 all-time in division history. The quartet broke the Mines record that had stood since 2001 by exactly four seconds.

FERNANDEZ-GORBEA SETS NEW 800m STANDARD
Imani Fernandez-Gorbea broke the Mines 800m record indoors on her way to an all-America podium spot at nationals, and she added the outdoor record to her collection this past weekend at the Spec Towns Invitational in Georgia. Fernandez-Gorbea ran 2:06.51, moving her to #4 on the D-II performance list this season, to surpass Aryelle Wright's program record of 2:07.08 set in 2024.

ON THE NATIONAL LIST
The Orediggers hold four national leads on the NCAA D-II performance list - Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge in the 10K, Emily LaMena in the steeplechase, Grace Strongman in the 1,500m, and Dawson Gunn in the 5K - and also have four #2 marks with Tim Thompson's 800m, Jonah Fallon's 400m, Paul Knight's 10K, and the men's 4x400. The Orediggers have an impressive 17 top-15 marks as of April 15 including 14 in the top 10. 

LOOKING AHEAD
The Orediggers head to Pueblo for the 2026 RMAC Outdoor Championships on April 24-26.
