Emma Coburn Named A Semifinalist For USTFCCCA special honor
Jun 18th
NEW ORLEANS – Recent University of Colorado graduate Emma Coburn has been named one of 10 semifinalists for the prestigious USTFCCCA’s The Bowerman, which is given out annually to the top male and female collegiate track and field performers of the year.
Coburn won the 2013 NCAA 3,000-meter steeplechase title with the fifth-fastest time in NCAA history less than two weeks ago, crossing the finish in 9:35.38. Overall it was Coburn’s third individual championship. She won the steeplechase in 2011 before redshirting the 2012 season and during the indoor season she won CU’s first NCAA mile title. During her five years at CU, she has been an All-American on six different occasions.
The 2012 Olympian was also named the 2013 USTFCCCA Mountain Region Indoor and Outdoor Women’s Track Athlete of the Year, and for good reason as she ran the fastest mile, 1,500 and steeplechase times by an NCAA athlete in 2013.
The Bowerman takes into account an athlete’s complete season and Coburn got a great start to her final campaign. She was invited to compete in the indoor mile at the 106th Millrose Games (in a field full of professional athletes) and ran a PR of 4:29.86 to become the fifth fastest NCAA athlete ever in the mile. A few short weeks later, she ran another sub-4:30 mile to win CU’s first NCAA indoor mile title in 4:29.91 and also became the first American to run a pair of sub-4:30 miles in the same season.
During the outdoor season, Coburn continued to impress. She ran the then-fastest steeplechase time in the world at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invite (9:28.26) in Stanford, Calif. just two days after her 2013 1,500-meter debut (4:11.36) at the 104th Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Coburn won her first Pac-12 title in the steeplechase in May (9:55.67).
Instead of taking a week off between outdoor conference and the NCAA West Preliminary Championship, she took to the track again in a field of professional athletes at the OXY High Performance meet in the 1,500 and cruised to a PR of 4:06.87 while becoming the fifth-best performer in NCAA history.
This past April, Coburn was named CU’s Co-Female Athlete of the Year for the third time, as well as winning CU’s Co-Female Career Athletic Achievement Award.
The 10 semifinalists will be cut down to three finalists, which will be announced July 10. Voting for the final winner, including an online fan vote, will take place from late July to mid-August. The ultimate winner will be revealed at the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Convention in December.
ABOUT THE BOWERMAN
The Bowerman, which debuted in 2009, is presented annually by the USTFCCCA to the most outstanding male and female collegiate track & field athletes in the nation. Southern Utah’s Cam Levins and LSU’s Kimberlyn Duncan are the reigning winners of The Bowerman, which is named for legendary Oregon track & field and cross country coach Bill Bowerman. Past winners include Olympic gold medalist and decathlon world-record holder Ashton Eaton (2010), 10,000-meter Olympic silver medalist Galen Rupp (2009), and 2011 IAAF World Champion at 1500 meters, Jenny Simpson (2009). Bowerman served the sport of track and field in numerous ways. His leadership in the USTFCCCA’s predecessor organization, the National Collegiate Track Coaches Association, and his contributions to NCAA track and field and the running community as a whole are among his many lasting legacies.

2013 COLORADO FOOTBALL LETTERMEN PICTURE
Colorado has 63 lettermen returning for 2012 (61 from the 2012 team, with an additional two from the 2011 season); they break down into 29 on offense, 30 on defense and four specialists; the Buffs lose 11 lettermen off the 2012 squad (6 offense/4 defense/1 specialist). CU returns 18 starters from last season (9 offense/9 defense), losing 5 (2 offense/3 defense); several positions had multiple personnel shuttle in and out, so there are several other players back with starting experience. The 2012 starters are listed in bold (six or more starts, thus occasionally two players listed at same position if they shared time due to injury or rotated), and (*) denotes letters earned primarily on special teams.

CU women’s b-ball team hits highest ranking in a decade–18th
Mar 4th
Colorado, 24-5 overall and 13-5 in the Pac-12 Conference, received a season-high 354 points, up from 288 last week. All five of Colorado’s losses have been to ranked teams, including two each to Stanford and California ranked No. 7 or better at the time. Stanford remained at No. 4, California moved up one to No. 5 and UCLA jumped up three to No. 14.
The Buffaloes do have one top 10 win on their resume, a 70-66 win over then-No. 8 Louisville on Dec. 14. The Cardinals are currently ranked No. 13.
The Buffaloes have a long history of rankings in the AP poll, dating back to the 1980-81 season. This week’s ranking marks the 170th time Colorado has appeared in the AP poll, trailing only Stanford, USC and UCLA among Pac-12 schools.
The USA Today Sports Coaches poll is scheduled to be released on Tuesday. Colorado was No. 19 in last week’s coaches’ poll.
Colorado is the No. 4 seed in the 2013 Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament, March 7-10, at KeyArena in Seattle. The Buffaloes will have a first round bye and play the winner of No. 5 Washington and No. 12 Oregon on Friday, March 8, at 9:30 p.m. MST.
