Battle Mountain's Amelia Ortiz now runs for Williams College, where running in the rain is a bit more common than it is here in Colorado (except maybe this year). Photo courtesy Vassar College Sports Information.
With the college season starting to ramp up in a more serious way, were seeing results from coast to coast--from Standford and St. Martin's to Purple Valley and flrunners.com, and everywhere in between. Below is your Colorado high school alumni report for the week just completed. As has been the case in recent weeks, I know we're short some alumni performances. If I get some updates to add, I will update this article with more alumni results later in the week.
