Her third-place finish matched her career best finish on the national stage, tying her performance at the indoor national meet earlier this winter.<\/p>\n<p>Wright spent much of her collegiate career rewriting the Orediggers\u2019 record books in the 800-meter run, consistently resetting her own record.<\/p>\n<p>And now she walks away with her personal best of 2:07.08 as the program\u2019s high-water mark. She also earned Second-Team All-American status from her indoor seasons in 2021 and 2022 and her outdoor campaign in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>During her time at Montezuma-Cortez, Wright won the state title in the 400 meters during the 2018 3A state championships. She was one of the most dominant sprinters in the Panthers\u2019 classification before shifting to middle distance for her collegiate career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montezuma-Cortez alumna caps career at Colorado School of Mines by matching best finish at NCAA DII Track and Field Championships<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[28,36,1775,346,594],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-27150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-headlines","tag-montezuma-cortez-high-school","tag-national-collegiate-athletic-association","tag-sports","tag-track-and-field"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27150"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27150\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79967,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27150\/revisions\/79967"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27150"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=27150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
