Track Updates and Revised Meet Schedules

Tonight's team dinner is ON at 6:30 pm at 8656 Forrest Drive. ALL athletes are invited!

Our JV had beautiful weather for their Thursday meet, but Colorado weather has not been track-friendly on the weekends this season!

For the safety of all athletes, Saturday's varsity meet is canceled based on the forecast of snow accumulation and sub-40 degree weather.

Next week, we will have two varsity meets and a JV meet:

  • Tuesday, April 2 -- Varsity @ Windsor -- noon start time (click for details) -- No bus is available. Coaches can drive some athletes and we'll talk with all athletes about carpooling.
  • Thursday, April 4 -- JV @ Mountain Vista
  • Saturday, April 6 -- Varsity  @ Echo Park

We're moving as quickly as we can to nail down details on transportation and meet rosters for next week. Coaches will be working with varsity athletes to understand their availability for Tuesday and Saturday meets. Also, because of cancellations and changing school-specific schedules within the league, our JV meet locations are in flux. Please watch for additional updates as we have more information. Soon we will also add photos from the JV meet to our photos page.

Thunderridge Invite

Hope everyone enjoyed their two snow days! As of right now, the Thunderridge Invite is still planning on running this Saturday (we will update you if the meet director tells us otherwise). They have adjusted the schedule in order to give them more time in the morning to get the stadium ready in the morning. This meet has always been well run and normally runs ahead of schedule so please factor that in. Schedule
