Emma Coburn sets mile record for Colorado.

Former CU Buff Emma Coburn broke the women’s state mile record on Saturday by clocking a 4:32 mile at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. The previous record was held by fellow CU Buff Dani Jones (4:36).

The 2020 Team Boss Colorado Mile was held as a fundraiser for the Sachs Foundation, a Colorado-based nonprofit that supports Black students looking to attend college.

Team Boss was aiming to raise $20,000 through the event, but had more than $30,000 pledged by the end of the event.
