GOLDEN, Colo. – Junior Nathanael Williams and the women's DMR team of the Colorado School of Mines set blazing times on the opening day of the 2016 Joe Davies Open on Friday, February 19 in Steinhauer Fieldhouse.

First, Williams finished second overall in the men's 5000m with a 14:54.96 which after the altitude conversion will likely place him seventh in the nation and almost assuredly secures himself of a spot at the NCAA DII Indoor Championships on March 11-12 in Pittsburg, Kan.

Likely joining him there will be the women's 4000m DMR team of Molly Reicher, Elizabeth Gabel, McKenzie Zeman and Ann Miller who ran a 12:08.11 which after the altitude conversion will likely place them eighth in the nation.

Setting a provisional mark in the women's pole vault was Addy Neibauer when she hit a height of 3.56m (11'8) to finish fourth in the event.

Also on scorching paces was the heptathlon triumvirate of freshmen Triston Sisneros, Austin Smith and Connor McLean. With McLean's school record in the event of 5041 all three are within striking distance.

Sisneros led the group after day one with a 2968 which included great numbers in the long jump (7.30m), shot put (11.32m) and the high jump (2.00m). Smith is nipping at his heels with a 2927 which included a top time of 6.99 in the 60m and a top mark in the shot put of 12.77m. McLean rounds out the group with a 2799.
