BOULDER, Colo. – University of Colorado Colorado Springs senior Kyle McCloskey provisionally qualified in the 1,500-meter run with the second-best time in program history to lead the Mountain Lions at the Colorado Invitational today at Potts Field. David Kimaiyo ran the third-best time in program history while Corey Brown ran the fifth-best 3,000-meter time later in the day.

McCloskey's time of 3 minutes, 55.78 seconds, will adjust down to a 3:50.16 sea level time for NCAA qualifying. It's an improvement of almost four seconds from his personal-best time from last week's San Francisco State Distance Carnival. He is unofficially No. 16 in the NCAA Division II performance lists pending results from other meets across the country. Kimaiyo finished in 3:57.93 for a converted 3:52.26 and the third-fastest time in program history.

Corey Brown led six Mountain Lions in the 3,000-meter run with 8:58.03 for a ninth-place overall finish. It's the fifth-fastest adjusted time in program history at 8:43.46. He finished fourth among collegiate runners and second among Division II runners. Jarrett Eller, Ben Patzer and Tola Walio all placed in the top 25.

Nick Lehmann represented the team in the springs with 25.64 seconds in the 200-meter dash and 55.64 seconds in the 400-meter dash. Both of his times were within a tenth of a second of his season-best marks when adjusted. Sean Durck came within four inches of his season-best in the long jump with 19 feet, 4 ¼ inches, and jumped 38-5 in the triple jump.

UCCS will travel back to California next week for the Mt. SAC Relays, Beach Invitational and Bryan Clay Invitational in Los Angeles and the surrounding area.
