Redshirt junior Enzo Knapp recorded a sixth-place finish among the 28-person field with a converted time of 4:11.20, while redshirt sophomore Jonas Graff took eighth place with a converted time of 4:12.92.

• Freshman Olivia Clay was the lone women's student-athlete in action for UCCS on Friday, and she went on to post a second place finish out of eight sprinters in the women's 60m dash as she matched her season and personal best in the event with a converted time of 7.93s.
