After an impressive week for the University of Colorado’s track and field team, all eyes will be on the West Coast Relays in Fresno, California on Friday. The Buffs will get one of their final two tuneups before the 2021 Pac-12 championships begin May 14.
The West Coast Relays will boast many of the top track and field programs across the country. Along with Colorado, its Pac-12 rivals Washington and Stanford will send a strong contingent of athletes. BYU and Northern Arizona, two teams that ran strong at the NCAA Cross Country championships, will also send their top athletes to Fresno.
An incident that unfolded Monday morning on U.S. Highway 431 north of Attalla ended without injury, according to Etowah County Sheriff Jonathon Horton.
A woman and her husband were at CN Fuels on U.S. 431 at about 10 a.m. when the woman came to believe there was someone in the back of the Nissan Armada SUV they were in, and she fired shots into the back of the vehicle, ECSO Public Information Officer Tammy Bean said.
Nothing was hit and no one was injured, but the woman s husband jumped out of the vehicle and ran. Someone at the gas station called the sheriff s office, and the woman led deputies on a brief high-speed chase, according to Bean. She stopped soon afterward and was arrested.
