GOLDEN, Colo. – Grace Solarin's latest program record in the weight throw didn't last long.
 
One week after establishing yet another school mark, Solarin blew that standard away with a fifth-place hurl of 16.57 meters (54 feet, 4 ½ inches) on Saturday at the Mines Winter Classic. Solarin surpassed the mark she set last week by 3 feet, 7 inches (1.1 meters).
 
Also Saturday, school-record holder Maya Ries turned in her third- and fourth-fastest times ever in the 60 hurdles, racing to a second-place finish of 8.80 seconds after qualifying for the final in 8.83. The provisional qualifying time for NCAA Division II Nationals is 8.84, but with the conversion for altitude, Ries just missed that standard.
 
Also of note Saturday, Tanis Chavez and Audrynn Street finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the women's 800 with times of 2:25.99 and 2:29.67, while Ty Schauer was sixth in the men's race at that distance in 1:59.22.
 
In the women's 60, Naleia Sowell was sixth in 7.98 after qualifying sixth at 7.96, and Allyssa Romero was eighth in 8.06 after qualifying seventh in 7.98.
 
For the men, Owen Clarke was 11^th in the 60 in 7.17, while Brandon Simpson turned in a season-best weight throw of 14.15 (46-5 ¼) for 17^th place.
