The JV boys team in route to a perfect 1-2-3-4-5 finish at the St. Vrain Invitational
Saturday was a lot of fun! We had some great performances as a team. My favorite part was seeing the "Green Army" of athletes, parents, and fans out on the course and at the awards ceremony cheering everybody on. I think it's safe to say that we have the largest cheering squad in Colorado! 

When you prepare great things can happen. We are very well prepared right now and things are certainly happening for us. The biggest things are still to come though. Keep your goals in mind and focus on what is still ahead. We want our best races to take place at Leagues and State, not at St. Vrain. Let's keep working hard during the week and keep our sites set on our BIGGEST goals that we have set for the end of the season.

JV Boys: 1st place and a perfect 15 point score. 12 second 1-5 gap, I've never seen a gap this close before!
JV Girls: 1st place w/24 points. 58 second gap. Nice work to get this under a minute.
Boys Varsity: 1st place in 47 points. 45 second 1-5 gap, 58 second from 1 to 7.
Girls Varsity: 3rd place in an ultra competitive field. 1-4 gap was 1:34. I know we can get 1-5 to under 60 seconds on a day we are all clicking if we work at it together everyday in practice. 

Middle School Boys and Girls: Both teams took first, great job to the MS coaches! You can see results for your future teammates here:
