A Big Thank You and Let the Championships Begin!

A huge thank you to all our athletes and their fans who supported our fundraiser!  Together, we raised $13,396 to help us fund uniforms, implements, equipment, and additional coaching staff. We appreciate you!

WEATHER WOES

Colorado's spring weather has taken a toll on our schedule this season. Thank you for your flexibility so far, and please prepare to keep flexing and pivoting in these final few weeks of the season. 

TeamSnap is our fastest means of communication about schedule changes. Let us know if you're not receiving messages via TeamSnap.

Snow postponed our Denver Christian meet, but plans to reschedule are in the works with May 10 and May 11 as two possibilities. We will update you as soon as Denver Christian makes a final decision.

THIS WEEK
