Workman, a University of Wyoming senior from Pueblo West, went 68-68 in the last two rounds after opening with a 74. That gave him a 6-under-par 210 total, which left him five strokes behind individual champion Sean Meehan of Texas-San Antonio.
Workman (pictured), who won the state amateur stroke-play titles in both Colorado and Wyoming last summer, made six birdies and two bogeys in the final round on Tuesday.
The showing marked Workman’s first individual top-10 finish of his career in a major college tournament. The Coloradan was competing only as an individual this week in Arizona, but two teammates tied for third on Tuesday — John Murdock and Aaron Lickteig — both one stroke ahead of Workman.
Also posting a top-10 college finish on Tuesday was the University of Northern Colorado’s Nicole Polivchak, a freshman from Sarasota, Fla. Polivchak tied for seventh individually and helped spark UNC, which placed fifth out of a 16-team field at the Bobcat Spring Invitational in Goodyear, Ariz.
Polivchak went 74-73-74 for a 5-over-par 221 total, which put her eight strokes behind champion Tara Finigan of Portland State.

On Tuesday, Keltz, now a junior at the University of Northern Colorado, moved back to the forefront, not only posting by far her best college result, but getting an individual victory in the process.
In UNC’s final tournament of the regular season, Keltz prevailed by one in a 98-player field at the Bobcat Spring Invitational in Goodyear, Ariz. And she did it despite a triple bogey on her third-to-last hole of the tournament.
Keltz (pictured) posted rounds of 71-71-77 for a 3-over-par 219 total, which was a stroke better than runner-up Alexus Song of Seattle. The result was not only Keltz’s first college victory, but her first top-five performance.
As a team, UNC placed third at 909, 16 strokes behind champion Seattle and 15 back of runner-up Wyoming.
Keltz wasn’t the only Colorado-based Division I player to notch a very impressive finish on Tuesday. Colorado State’s Dominic Kieffer was runner-up in the Ping Cougar Classic that concluded on Tuesday in Provo, Utah.
Kieffer, a senior from Byron, Minn., shot a 2-under-par 70 in the final round to card a 10-under 206 total. He finished a stroke behind champion Austin Christensen of Brigham Young University. It was Kieffer’s fourth top-six individual showing of the season.
CSU ended up fourth in the 10-team field, with BYU prevailing for the title.
