Grimes hamstrung in Greeley by yet another hamstring injury

Chadron State College brought just 12 Eagles to the University of Northern Colorado Invite last Friday in Greeley.

CSC’s All-American jumper Isaac Grimes, sophomore of Moreno Valley, California, became limited in his performance due to his hamstring tightening during a 4×100 meter relay, per Con Marshall of CSC Sports Information.

Grimes ran the relay to help the team get ready for the upcoming RMAC Championship this weekend.

Grimes was unable to participate in the triple jump event, but CSC still had a good showing in the event.

“Going into the meet at Greeley, my body was feeling pretty good and felt fast,” Grimes said. “but once the race started I got up to speed and felt my hamstring cramp up so I had to pull up.”

Grimes said he was dissapointed but is getting treatment for the hamstring.

“With conference a couple days away I’m confident that I should be ready to compete and put up some good marks,” Grimes said.

Brock Voth, freshman of Berthoud, Colorado, and Joss Linse, freshman of Plattsmouth, placed first and second in the event to qualify for the upcoming conference championships. Voth went 44-1 1/2 and Linse 43-7.

Michelle Carbajal, senior of Gypsum, Colorado placed third in the women’s triple jump with a mark of 37-10 1/2.

Emma Willadsen, sophomore of Eaton, Colorado, won the 800 meters with a time of 2:23.90.

Gregg Peterson, senior of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, placed fourth in the long jump and javelin during the decathlon.

Emily Hansen, sophomore of Hemingford, placed second in the hammer throw with a mark of 137-5.

Allie Williamson, sophomore of Cheyenne, Wyoming, ran the 200 meters in 26.39 seconds and the 100 in 12.79.

A handful of Eagles used the weekend for rest in preparation for the RMAC Championship, including distance runner Alyse Henry, junior of Pickerington, Ohio.

The RMAC Championships will take place Friday through Sunday in Rapid City, South Dakota. The NCAA Outdoor Championships will take place May 23 in Kingsville, Texas. CSC athletes will have the opportunity to attend “last chance” meets in May.
