Buffs send 5 track and fielders to National Championships
Jun 4th
BOULDER – CU Seniors Emma Coburn and Aric Van Halen will compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and Joe Morris will race in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes. The Buffs will also be sending a pair of athletes to compete in the field events; junior Emily Hunsucker in the hammer throw and sophomore Mark Jones in the high jump.
This will be Coburn’s fourth trip to the outdoor championships in the steeplechase and she has been quite successful. In 2009, she finished 11th, but the following year she was the runner-up. Finally in 2011, Coburn won her first NCAA individual steeplechase title. She redshirted the 2012 season, but is back and looking to finish her collegiate career strong. The 2013 Pac-12 Champion has the top time in the country and ranks ninth in the world (9:28.26).
Van Halen is also no stranger to nationals. He finished 10th at the 2012 championships to earn his first All-America honor. Earlier this season, Van Halen won his first individual Pac-12 title and he ran a season-best time of 8:38.23 at the NCAA West Preliminary Championships, which was seventh overall.
The final three athletes will all be making their first appearances at NCAAs. Joe Morris is just the second Buff to compete in the 100 and 200 at nationals. The only other CU athlete to do the double was Devlon Dunn in 1988. Morris finished eighth at prelims in the 100 and was ninth in the 200. His season and personal bests are 10.27 (100) and 20.45 (200).
Hunsucker had a standout season, breaking a 15-year-old school record in the hammer throw. Not only did she break it, but she has continued to reset it several times since, most recently at the NCAA West Prelims on May 23 when she recorded a mark of 207-10. That throw placed her seventh in the west to advance to NCAAs.
Jones has also had a good season. He was the runner-up at the Pac-12 Championships with a jump of 7-2 ½, which also put him third all-time in CU history, just behind Bill Jankunis (7-4) and Jason Dudley (7-3). Jones has had two meets with jumps over 7-0 this season. He tied for 11th at the west prelims to advance to NCAAs.
The entire meet will either be streamed live or televised. Wednesday will be streamed on the Pac-12 Network (pac-12.com/live/goducks). Thursday’s events will be available via ESPN3.com, and Friday and Saturday’s events will be televised on ESPNU in a window beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and 2 p.m. on Saturday. Prior to those times on Friday and Saturday the meet will be on ESPN3.com. Live results can be accessed on NCAA.com and flashresults.com.

Boulder police investigating burglary; looking for three male suspects
Jun 4th
Boulder police are investigating a burglary which took place in the 1500 block of 11th St. around 2:05 a.m. on Monday, June 3, 2013.
Several roommates told police the suspects are three black males who had been invited to share cigarettes with one of the roommates, who was socializing with several friends on the home’s front patio. The roommate saw the males walking on the street smoking cigarettes, and invited them onto the patio. The males appeared to have left when the friends went inside.
However, one of the roommates, a 21-year-old female, told police that she woke up in her bedroom to one of the suspects massaging her and kissing her. She told the suspect to leave and he did.
Another roommate was awakened by a male who entered her room, and who claimed to be looking for his phone. The roommate told the male to leave, and he complied. Police don’t know if the same male entered both bedrooms.
The suspects stole a number of electronic and computer items. It also appears that they took spare vehicle keys and entered two of the roommate’s vehicles, which were parked outside.
Police are looking for the three suspects, who are described below.
Suspect #1: Light-skinned black male, 5’10” – 6’01” tall, mid-twenties with a muscular build. He was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, and spoke with an “African” accent.
Suspect #2: Dark-skinned black male, 6’0” tall, mid-twenties with a “skinny” build. He was wearing a red hat, a red shirt and blue jeans, and spoke with an “African” accent.
Suspect #3: Dark-skinned black male, 6’02” tall, mid-twenties with a “skinny” build. He was wearing a dark-colored Rwanda soccer jersey. He had light facial hair and spoke with a slight “African” accent.
The case number is 13-7252. Detectives are following several leads in an effort to identify the men. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Chuck Heidel at 303-441-3339. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776.
