PUEBLO, Colo. – MSU Denver Outdoor Track & Field opened competition at the RMAC Outdoor Championships, hosted by the CSU Pueblo ThunderWolves, with two days of action in the books and the meet set to conclude Sunday.

The Roadrunners saw standout performances across multiple events, highlighted by a record-breaking effort from Kathryn Rust and a podium finish from Isaiah Williams.

Rust delivered one of the top performances of the meet for MSU Denver, finishing seventh overall in the women's heptathlon with 4,626 points to earn points for the Roadrunners.

Her weekend was headlined by a historic run in the 100-meter hurdles, where she clocked a school-record time of 13.94—also ranking No. 21 in NCAA Division II this season. She followed that up with a strong showing across the board, including a second-place finish in the high jump (1.58m) and top-10 finishes in the shot put, long jump, and 200 meters.

Rust capped her heptathlon with a 2:40.81 in the 800 meters, solidifying one of the most complete performances of the weekend.

Teammate Jaelyn Korbe also competed in the heptathlon, finishing 19th with 2,962 points, highlighted by her best mark coming in the javelin (28.89m).

On the men's side, Williams delivered the Roadrunners' top finish of the meet so far, clearing 2.00 meters in the high jump to place second overall and earn a spot on the podium.
